We believe that Scripture is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, inerrant in its original manuscripts and sufficient for all matters of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)
God
There is one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each fully God and equal in essence.(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
The Father
The Father is sovereign over all creation, working all things according to His will for His glory and the good of His people. (Isaiah 46:9-10; Ephesians 1:11)
The SON
Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, took on human flesh, lived a sinless life, died as a substitute for sinners, rose bodily from the dead, and reigns as King and Mediator. (John 1:1,14; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 7:25)
The Spirit
The Holy Spirit regenerates sinners, convicts of sin, indwells believers, and empowers them to live holy lives. (John 3:5-6; Titus 3:5; Romans 8:9-14)
Man was directly and immediately created in the image of God but fell into sin through Adam, bringing spiritual death and separation from God. All people are sinners by nature and choice, incapable of saving themselves, and the only hope for mankind is the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23-27; Ephesians 2:1-3; Isaiah 53; Hebrews 9:12).
Salvation
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Sinners are justified by faith apart from works and are eternally secure in Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 5:1; John 10:28)
The Church
The Church is the body of Christ, composed of all true believers. Local churches exist to worship God, preach the gospel, administer the ordinances [Baptism & Communion], and make disciples (Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 2:19-22; Acts 2:42).
The Future
Christ will return personally and visibly to judge the living and the dead, establish His kingdom, and bring His people into eternal glory, while the unrepentant face eternal punishment. (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15)
