Jesus Above All Else
Jesus is who we live for and seek above all else. Everything we do is all about Jesus, always. We exalt Jesus so that he may draw all people to himself. We are committed to, “Not I, but Christ.”

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus, the eternal Son of God, took upon Himself the form of a man by means of the virgin birth, lived a sinless life, yet retained His absolute deity, being at the same time very God and very man. We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, the physical miracles He performed, His atoning death upon the Cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory at His second coming.
The Bible
We believe in the verbal inspiration and inerrancy of the Scriptures and the authority of both the Old and New Testaments. “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
God
We believe that God eternally exists in three Persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit-and that these three are one God, having the same nature, attributes, and perfections, and worthy of the same worship, reverence and obedience.

Atonement for Sin
We believe that atonement for sin was made by the sacrificial and substitutionary death of Jesus Christ.
The Resurrection
We believe in the literal resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and His priestly intercession.
Salvation
We believe salvation is the gift of God by grace alone and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that this faith is manifested in works pleasing to God. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to personal salvation.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the Promise of the Father, the Comforter who indwells and places every believer in the Body of Christ, bestows spiritual gifts upon the Church and convicts the world of sin and the judgment to come.
Sanctification
We believe that sanctification, holiness and the overcoming life is God's design for the Church by yielding to the Holy Spirit’s work of grace in each believer. (Eph. 5:25-27, Rom. 12:1-2)
Indwelling of the Spirit
While all believers are in-dwelt by the Spirit of God (Romans 8), we believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a definite endowment of power for service seperate from conversion and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in spiritual gifts, and in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:46; Acts 19:6; Eph. 4:11; I Cor. 12:8-11; Gal. 5:22,23)

Marriage
We believe that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime and is a sacred institution established by God. (Matt. 19:4-6) This relationship between a husband and wife should parallel the relationship between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:23-30).
Ordinances of the Church
We believe that the ordinances of the church, by the command of Christ, are Water Baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper, both of which are administered to those who are born again.
Humanity
We believe humanity was created in the image of God, but sinned and fell through disobedience, and that the entire human race shares in humanity's lost and depraved nature.
Eternity
We believe in the eternal salvation of the believers and in the eternal damnation and punishment of the nonbelievers. We believe that the consummation of all things includes the visible, personal and glorious return of Jesus Christ the "Blessed Hope" of the Church.
