The Bible
The Bible is the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Trinity
God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 13:14, John 14:7-11
Jesus
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He rose from the dead after three days demonstrating His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return to earth again.

Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He provides the Christian with supernatural power for living, understanding and guidance. We see evidence of the Holy Spirit by spiritual gifts and fruits of the spirit.

Man willingly fell into sin – ushering in evil and death, both physically and spiritually, into the world.
Romans 5:12-21
Salvation
Everyone can be restored to a relationship with God through accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. We can never make up for our sins by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty.
John 3:16; 1 John 2:25, 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15
Sanctification
Sanctification and holiness is God’s design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.

Purity
Sexual purity is a necessary expression for all of God’s children and requires abstinence from adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, or other sexual relationships forbidden by Scripture.
Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Leviticus 18:1-30, Romans 1:26-32
Male & Female
We believe that God created mankind as two distinct sexes: male and female and that each person affirms God’s infinite wisdom by living in alignment with their birth sex.
Genesis 1:26-28, Matthew 19:4-6
The Great Commission
Jesus told his disciples to make disciples of all nations and to teach them everything I have commanded you.
We believe this fervently and this is at the core of our mission.
Matt:28:16-20
