We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It was written by men, divinely inspired, and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It reveals the principles by which God judges us and is, therefore, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union. It is the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.

All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation. It has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth without any error. It is the final authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and conduct.
(Mark 13:31; John 8:31-32, 20:31; 2 Pet. 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20, 2 Peter 21, 2 Timothy 1:13, Psalms 119:105, Psalms 160, Psalms 12:6, Proverbs 30:5)

There is one and only one living God, who eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are equal in deity, distinct in person, yet one in essence, executing harmoniously in the work of creation and redemption.
(Gen. 1:1-3, 26-27; Deut. 6:4; Isaiah 48:16; Matt. 3:16–17, 28:19-20)

We believe God the Father is infinite, personal, perfect in holiness, wise, powerful, and loving. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, and all-wise. We believe that He justly concerns Himself with the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and hell all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
(Gen. 1:1; Matt. 28:19; John 1:1-3, 4:24; Rom. 1:19-20; Eph. 4:5-6).

Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ, He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe that He lived a sinless life, that he performed miracles, and that His teachings are true. He died in our place, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, where He now represents us before the Father, from where He will one day visibly return to earth. He is fully God and fully man, who will return in power and glory to judge the world.
(Matt. 1:18-23, 20:28; John 1:1, 20:28, 20:30-31; Acts 1:11; Rom. 5:6-8, 6:9-10, 9:5; 2 Cor. 5:21; Eph. 1:4; Heb. 7:25; 1 Pet. 2:21-23)

We believe in the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of God, fully divine, who is to convict mankind of sin, of right living, and of judgment. We believe that He draws us to Christ, gives us new life, sanctifies us (sets us apart), and empowers us. At the moment of salvation, He dwells within every believer. 

God’s Spirit lives in all who believe in Christ, and He continually helps, teaches, and guides us. His present work includes the distribution and operation of gifts to fortify the Body of Christ.
(John 14:16-17, 26, 15:26-27, 16:7-14; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 3:16, 6:19, 12:4-11; Gal. 5:22-26)

By his free choice, man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan, man transgressed the command of God and fell from his original innocence, whereby his posterity inherited a nature and an environment inclined toward sin. Therefore, as soon as they are capable of moral action, they become transgressors and are under condemnation.

Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable him to fulfill God's creative purpose. The sacredness of human personality is evident in the fact that God created man in His own image and that Christ died for man; therefore, every person of every race possesses full dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
(Gen 3:1-7; Rom 3:23, 5:8; 5:12, 19; Eph. 2:1-3)

Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It includes regeneration (new birth), justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal repentance from sin and faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.
(John 1:12, 3:16, 14:6; Romans 5:1, 6:23, Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5)

The earth is the Lord's, as are all of its fruits. Men and women were created to rule over the world under God, but sin has corrupted that rule, which has become a selfish obsession with wealth and an arrogant abuse of God’s creation. Our redemption carries with it a call for an attitude of stewardship toward our material possessions and for a conscientious use of the resources of the earth.

This means we hold our material possessions only as stewards, not as owners. We reject the materialism of our age, which amounts to idolatry, and we seek instead to live simply and openly, sharing our possessions as need arises. We also reject the ungodly exploitation of the earth so prevalent in our day, and we seek instead to work toward a use of the earth's resources, which treats the good of the earth itself as a value. (Psalm 24:1-6; Matthew 6:19-21, 25:14-30; Luke 12:22-34; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8)

The Universal Church is the living spiritual Body of Christ, of which Christ is the head and all born-again believers are disciples. A local church is an autonomous congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Its scriptural officers are elders and deacons.

It is a living spiritual body, of which Jesus is the head, and all believers are part of the family. The local church consists of a group of believers in Jesus Christ who have each been baptized in a profession of faith and are committed to worship, work, and fellowship together. God has entrusted the members of the local church with the primary task of offering the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world, both in word and deed.
(Acts 1:8, 2:42; Eph. 2:19-22, 5:19-21; Heb. 10:23-25)
