We believe the Father is the source of all that exists, whether by matter or spirit. With the Son and the Holy Spirit, He made man in His image. By intention He relates to man as Father. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

We believe in the divine nature of Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin, Mary. Christ was both fully man and fully God. He walked our earth, suffered at the hands of men, was crucified, died and was buried as a sacrifice for the sins of all men and women everywhere. The purpose was to restore our relationship to God which was broken by sin (disobedience). Christ rose from the dead and ascended into heaven in full victory over Satan and sin. He now intercedes for the body of believers to God the Father.

We believe in the Holy Spirit as the person of the Holy Trinity who lives within us, giving us the power to live a holy life. He is the Administrator of grace to all mankind, and is particularly the effective Agent in convicting the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. He is the Divine Teacher who guides all believers into all truth. It is both the privilege and duty of every Christian to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God.

We believe that the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament combined constitute the Holy Bible; no books may be added or deleted. The Holy Bible is the inspired and inerrant (that is, without error in the original manuscripts) written Word of God. The Holy Bible contains all the necessary truth to lead men and women into salvation. Ultimately, we believe whatever the Bible teaches on any subject. It is the final authority in all matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. Whatever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man.

We believe that mankind was created by God, in His own image. But because of Adams’ sin (disobedience) man inherits a corrupt nature that inclines him to do wrong. Through sin, man became alienated from God. Man cannot save himself by his will or works. We believe that the first humans were created by God as male and female, and that a biblical marriage was designed by God to be the lifelong union of one man and one woman. God gave sexuality as a gift to be enjoyed within the confines of a biblical marriage and intends it to bless us with intimacy, pleasure, and procreation of children. In the area of sexuality, scripture records many behaviors which are outside God’s design, such as fornication, adultery, extramarital sex, and homosexual practice. The Bible considers that any action or belief outside God’s original design dishonors God and destroys humans, who were made in His image.

We believe that Jesus Christ, the living Son of God, was given by God as a sacrifice for the sins of all men. Christ died on the cross to mend the broken relationship which was caused by man’s sin of disobedience. It is through the shedding of His precious blood on the cross that we find forgiveness of our sins. Salvation is the free gift of God, brought to man by the grace of God and received by man through repentance from sin, personal belief and faith in Jesus Christ, recognizing Him as Lord and Savior.
