Doctrinal Statement
The Father (Creator)

We believe that as eternal Father, God is the Father of all men and women in the non-salvation, Creator-creature. God is the Father of the nation of Israel, the non-salvation, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the spiritual Father of all who obey the gospel (see section on salvation). God is the author of salvation, the One who sent the Son and the disciplinarian of God’s children (Exodus 4:22; Psalms 2:7-9; John 5:73; Acts 17:29: Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 1:3-6; Hebrews 12:9 and
1 Peter 1:3).
The Son (Redeemer)

We believe Jesus Christ is God incarnate, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, completely God and completely man. We believe in His pre-existence. His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the grave, His ascension into Heaven and His return from Heaven (John 1, 14, 18; Luke 1:35; Romans 3:24-26; I Peter 1:3-5; Ephesians 4:11-16 and I John 2:1-2).
The Holy Spirit (Sustainer)

We believe the Holy Spirit regenerates, in-dwells, anoints, seals and bestows spiritual gifts upon all believers. Experientially, the Holy Spirit fills, teaches, leads, assures, comforts and prays for believers (John 14:26, 16:6-15; Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 11:1-18; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27 and I Corinthians 6:19, 12:7-11, 13).
The Tri-Unity

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three equal persons. These three have the same nature, essence and attributes, but are distinct in office and activity (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 48:16; Jeremiah 10:10; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Acts 5:3-4; II Corinthians 13:14 and Hebrews 1:8).
The Bible

We believe the original manuscripts of the Old Testament and New Testaments comprise the full, truthful, infallible Word of God which is the supreme and final authority in doctrine and practice (Isaiah 40:8; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12 and II Peter 1:20-21).
Wo(Man) And Sin

We believe humans were created in the image of God; that s(he) sinned in Adam and, thereby, incurred both physical and spiritual death (separation from God); is now a sinner by nature and by choice; and is in need of salvation (Genesis 1:1, 27, 2:17, 3:1-19; Isaiah 14:12; Luke 20:36; Hebrews 1:13-14, 2:5-8; I Peter 2:4; Jude 6; John 12:31; Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 20:10; John 1:1-3, 8:44; Colossians 1:16-17 and Ephesians 2:1-3).
Salvation

We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ’s substitutionary payment for our sins (Ephesians 4:12), not based on merit, works, or religious ceremony. We do, however, maintain that each believer should respond to the aforementioned grace by hearing, believing and being baptized (Acts 18). Furthermore, we believe assurance comes to the believer from three primary sources: trusting the Word of God, the witness of the Holy Spirit and a persevering walk with the Lord (John 1:12, 2:3, 16; II Corinthians 5:17 -21; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7; Daniel 12:1-2: Matthew 25:31-46; John 3:16, 36, 5:24, 10:28-29, 11:25-26; Romans 8:28 -29; I John 4:11-13; Acts 2:38; Jude 1 and Revelation 20:12-15).
The Church

We believe in the church, both universally and locally, as the spiritual body of which Christ is the Head, in the practices of water baptism (immersion of believers only) and the Lord’s Supper as the ordinances of the church (Acts 2:38, 20:7, 1:5, 11:15; I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 1:22-23, 4:11-16, 5:22-23 and Colossians 1:18).
The Great Commission

We believe those who God has saved are sent into the world by Christ as He was by the Father. Those sent are ambassadors, commissioned to make disciples, and make Christ known to the whole world. We also believe everyone should have the opportunity to carefully examine the facts about Christ and have a chance to make an intelligent decision about Him (Matthew 28:18-20; John 15:17-18, 20-21; Acts 1; Romans 10:14-15; II Corinthians 5:18-20; Colossians 4:2-6 and II Timothy 2:14-26).
Eternity

We believe in the resurrection of the dead (at the second coming of Christ); in the eternal conscious existence of all individuals in either heaven or hell; and in the rewards of the saved and the punishment of the lost for eternity (II Corinthians 15; Luke 16:19-31; II Corinthians 5:8-10 and I Corinthians 3:11-15).
