WE BELIEVE that the SCRIPTURES of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of GOD, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.

WE BELIEVE that there is ONE LIVING AND TRUE GOD, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.

WE BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit.  We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, visible return to earth.  We believe in His first coming Jesus inaugurated the fulfillment of the Kingdom of God.

WE BELIEVE in the HOLY SPIRIT, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ; we believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding Guide and Helper who produces the fruit of Christ-like character in the believer.  We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the Biblical gifts of the Spirit.  We further believe that God divinely empowers believers for service by baptizing them in the Holy Spirit and can give evidence of this baptism with supernatural speech in tongues.

WE BELIEVE that ALL HUMANS ARE SINNERS and need a radical SALVATION which God alone can provide through Jesus Christ.  We believe men must repent of violating God’s standards, trust in the risen Lord Jesus alone for salvation, and receive him as Lord.  Works have no part in salvation but are the fruits of obedience.  The first major step of obedience is baptism in water.

WE BELIEVE God purposes and provides for a Christ-like LIFE OF HOLINESS, POWER, AND LOVE FOR ALL BELIEVERS.  The out working of this life involves separation from the world, overcoming Satanic forces and undivided devotion to the Lord Jesus and His Word.

WE BELIEVE in the universal CHURCH, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head, and all regenerated persons are members.  We further believe in local churches, in which God intends all believers to be a functioning part.  The local church assembles primarily to worship God, build up the believers, celebrate the Lord’s Supper, carry out the Great Commission, and minister to the poor and the sick.

WE BELIEVE in the personal, visible, and immanent RETURN OF CHRIST to earth and the consummation of His Kingdom; in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal blessing of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
