Although God is one, he exists in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – who are equal in nature, power, and glory (Mt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14)

God is distinct from his creation, being the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He has revealed Himself to mankind through

His works (Ps. 19:1; Ro. 1:20)  
His Word (2 Tim. 3:16,17), and
His Son (Heb. 1:1,2)

Jesus Christ

• Jesus Christ is both God (Jn . 1:1) and man (1 Tim. 2:5).
• He is the only begotten Son of God (Jn. 3:16).
• He was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Lk. 1:34,35).
• He was sinless (Heb. 4:15).
• His death on a cross atoned for mankind's sin and made reconciliation with God possible
  (1 Jn. 2:2; 2 Cor. 5:19,21).
• He is mankind's only hope for salvation (Jn. 14:6; Ac. 4:12).
• After his death on the cross, he bodily resurrected, appeared to others, then ascended into heaven (1 Cor. 15:3-8; 1 Tim. 3:16).
• Jesus is the only mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 7:25).
• One day, he will personally, bodily, and visibly return to judge the world (Rev. 1:7; 22:12).

Holy Spirit

• The Holy Spirit is a personal being who works in the world today convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (Jn. 16:8).
• He comforts and strengthens Christians through his indwelling presence
  (Jn. 14:16,17; 2 Cor. 3:18).

Man

• Humans are created in God's image (Gen. 1:27).
• Death and sin entered the world following Adam's sin (Rom. 5:12).
• Through our own efforts, we cannot be righteous in God's sight (Rom. 3:20); we all depend on God's grace given us in Christ's death (Gal. 2:21).
• Having been saved, we are to grow and become more like Jesus (Rom. 8:29).
• The goal of our faith is the redemption of our souls and bodies (1 Pet. 1:9; Rom. 8:23).
• Through Jesus we have eternal life, but whoever rejects him is condemned (Jn. 3:36).

Salvation

• We are saved by grace through faith, not through our own works (Eph. 2:8,9).
• A living faith expresses itself through confessing that Jesus is Lord (Ro. 10:9,10), and repentance and baptism (Acts 2:38).
• Baptism is by immersion (Rom. 6:4) and for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38; 22:16).
• Those in Christ have great assurance (Rom. 8:1); yet to be saved, we must persevere in God's grace (Heb. 10:35-39; Gal. 5:4).

Bible

• The 66 canonical books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God
  (2 Pet. 2:20,21).
• These alone serve as the authoritative basis for our faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16,17).

We also believe that...

• Love should be the distinguishing characteristic of Christ's followers (Jn. 13:35).
• The mission of the church is to make disciples of all nations (Mt. 28:19,20) and bring Christians to spiritual maturity (Col. 1:28).
• Remembering Jesus by celebrating Communion weekly is both scriptural and beneficial
  (1 Cor. 11:23-26; Acts 20:7).
• The local church should be independent, yet interdependent with the church as a whole.
• Holding certain Bible teachings is essential to being a Christian, while the Bible itself allows for differences of opinions in other areas (Rom. 14:1-15:7).
• Christians are to be moral and live a lifestyle that is pleasing to Christ (1 Pet. 1:15,16).
• Infants and young children are innocent in the eyes of the Lord; therefore, we only baptize people who are old enough to make their own decisions for Christ (Mt. 19:14).
• Every Christian has received a spiritual gift to serve others and glorify God (1 Pet. 4:10,11).
