The Holy Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God, word for word, without error, in the original manuscripts, and are the complete revelation of the will of God for salvation and for life. They are the supreme authority in all that they concern. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Matt. 5:18; John 16:12-13).

The Trinity
We believe in one Triune God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  They are equal, eternally, together in their being, identical in their nature, equals in their power and glory, having the same attributes and perfect qualities. (Deut. 6:4; 2 Cor. 13:14). 

The Person and Work of God the Father
We believe that the Father is the first person of the Trinity, God in three persons (1 Cor. 8:6), a self-existing Spirit (John 5:46), not seen by men (John 6:26), who shares his essence or being with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit (John 14:9-10), and possesses the same attributes of omniscience (Matt. 6:8, 32), omnipresence (Eph. 3:20), love (John 15:9), truth (John 7:28), sanctity (John 17:11), justice (John 17:25), and goodness (James 1:17).  He receives worship (John 4:23), and humans can come to him only through relationships with Jesus Christ (John 14:6), having sent Jesus Christ (John 8:42) and the Holy Spirit to earth (John 14:26).
We believe that the Father has the power to resurrect the dead (John 5:21; Rom. 6:4), and heaven is under his power (John 14:2).  He controls the times and all eschatological events (Acts 1:6-7).  He sets aside the chosen in Christ (John 6:44), determining who would be among the elect even before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:3).  He predestines the believers as adopted children (Eph. 1:5) and preserves them in their relationship with God (John 17:11).
We believe that the Father ought to be the focal point for believers in leading Christian lives (Rom. 6:11) and in their communion with others (1 John 1:3). He protects believers (John 16:23), gives them strength (2 Cor. 1:3-4), hears and responds to their prayers (John 15:1), honors those that serve Jesus (John 12:26), guides them (1 Th. 3:11), and gives spiritual gifts to each believer (James 1:17). 

The Person and Work of Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, eternally and truly God, who came to earth as man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, so that He could reveal the character of God and redeem sinful mankind (John 1:1,2,14; Luke 1:35).
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ completed our redemption through his death on the cross as a vicarious sacrifice and substitute for the payment of our sins, and that our justification is secured by his resurrection from the dead, which was a literal, bodily resurrection (Romans 3:24-25; 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3-5).
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God where, as our Supreme Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 9:24, 7:25, Romans 8:34; 1 John 2:1-2).

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, justice and law; that He reveals Christ to men and gives them the ability to believe; and that He is the supernatural agent in the work of regeneration, spiritually baptizing each believer into the Body of Christ, dwelling in them, and sealing them until the day of redemption (John 16:8-11; 2 Corinthians 3:6, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:13-14).

We believe that He guides the believers to all truth and that He anoints and teaches them, and that is both a privilege and a duty of all the redeemed to be filled with the Spirit (John 16:13, 1 John 2:20, 27; Ephesians 5:18).

Total Depravity of Man
We believe that the book of Genesis presents a historically precise origin of man, the fall of Adam and Eve, and therefore, of the entire human race, the worldwide Flood, the call of Abraham, and the origin of the people chosen by God, Israel.  Included in this is our belief that the special creation of the universe, consisting of time, space and matter, was executed in six days, which were literal twenty-four hour  days, as detailed in Genesis, chapter one. We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but through the sin of Adam, the human race fell and inherited a sinful nature.  Because it has turned away from God, mankind is absolutely depraved and is separated from God, without being able to rectify its own lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27, 5:2; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3,12; Psalm 51).

Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift from God that comes to man by grace and is received by personal, sincere faith in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, who shed his precious blood on the cross of Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-5; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19).

We believe that although the death and resurrection of Christ is an act sufficient for the salvation of every human being, only those who exercise faith in Christ can obtain forgiveness of sins and receive eternal life. Those who exercise such faith are then regenerated, baptized into Christ, and given every spiritual blessing in Christ (1 John 2:2; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 1:3, 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Romans 6:3-4).

Eternal Security and the Assurance of Believers
We believe that all who have been justified for salvation are saved by God's power and are secure in
Christ forever (John 6:37-40, 10:27-30; Romans 8:1,38; 1 Corinthians 1:4-8, 1 Peter 1:5).

We believe it is the privilege of believers to rejoice confidently in the security of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, of course, clearly prohibits the practice of exploiting Christian Freedom as an opportunity for the lust of the flesh (1 John 5:10-13; Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15).

The Two Natures of the Believer
We believe that every believer has two natures, but that victory of the new nature over the old comes through the power of the Holy Spirit, who always dwells in the believer.  However, we also believe that there is no scriptural basis on which to request eradication of the old nature in this life (Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:9-10; Romans 6:13, 8:12-13; Galatians 5:16-25; 1 Peter 1:14-16; 1 John 3:5-9).

Separation
We believe that all who have been saved should live in such a way that does not bring reproach to their Lord and Savior, and that they ought to be separate from all religious apostasy and refrain from association with practicing worldly and sinful pleasures.  This is God's commandment for his people (2 Timothy 3:1-5; Romans 12:1-2, 14:13, 1 John 2:15-17, 2 John 9-11; 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1).

Missions
We believe it is an obligation of the saved to testify of his life and to speak of the truths of the
Scriptures and to seek ways to proclaim the Gospel to every human being (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark
16:15; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:19-20).

The Ministry and Spiritual Gifts
We believe that God is sovereign in the distribution of all spiritual gifts; we believe that the gifts of evangelism and spiritual guidance are given to the church to equip today’s saints; we believe that every believer has a spiritual gift for the purpose of serving others.  Other spiritual gifts include
service, support, leadership, administration, exhortation, charity, mercy, and teaching.  We believe that the gifts of prophecy, speaking in tongues, and working miracles are signs of fulfillment of the Scriptures of the New Testament and that these gifts establish the authority of the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Ephesians 4:7-12; 1 Peter 4:10, Romans 12:6-8, 2 Corinthians 12:12).

We believe that God hears and answers prayers of faith from the sick and afflicted, according to His own
will (John 15:7; James 5:14-15; 1 John 5:14-15).

We believe in the autonomy of the local church (Acts  13:1-4, 20:28, Romans 16:1; 1 Corinthians 3:9,16, 5:4-7,13; 1 Peter 5:1-4).

We recognize the ordinances of water baptism and the Last Supper as biblical professions of the church in this present age (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42, 18:8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

Dispensationalism
We believe that the Scriptures, when interpreted in their natural and literal context, reveal dispensations or rules of life that are theologically determined, which explains the continuation of civic responsibilities before God.  These dispensations or rules are divinely ordained by God to guide
man according to His purpose. Three of these - that of the Law, the grace of God and the Kingdom - are the subjects of detailed revelation in Scripture (John 1:17, 2 Corinthians 3:16-18; Galatians 3:13-25; Ephesians 1:10, 3:2-10; Colossians 1:24-25; Hebrews 7:19; Revelation 20:2-6).

The Personality of Satan
We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin and cause of mankind’s fall.  He is openly the declared enemy of God and man, and he will be punished eternally in the lake of fire (Job 1:6-7, Isaiah 14: 12-17; Matthew 4:2-11; Rev. 20:11).

The Second Coming of Christ
We believe in "the blessed hope," which is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for his church; it is personal and imminent and it will take place before the great tribulation and the millennial reign.  We believe in the subsequent return of Christ to the earth, with his saints to establish His Millennial Kingdom, which will begin only after the Second Advent (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Zachariah 14:4-11; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:1-6; 1Thessalonians 1:10, 5:9, Revelation 3:10).

The Eternal State
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all human beings: the saved for eternal life, and the lost for the Trial of the Great White Throne at which they will be condemned to eternal punishment (Matthew 25:46, John 5:28-29, 11:25-26; Revelation 20:5-6, 22:12).

We believe that the souls of the righteous who have died are absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious happiness, they  await the first resurrection, in which the soul and the body will be reunited and glorified forever with the Lord (Luke 23:43; Revelation 20:4-6; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23, 3:32; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

We believe that the souls of unbelievers remain, after death, in a conscious state of distress
until the second resurrection, when, in body and in soul, they will appear before the Trial of the Great White Throne, and afterwards, they will be cast into the lake of fire, not to be annihilated, but
to suffer conscious eternal punishment (Luke 16:19-26; Matthew 25:41-46; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Jude 6-7; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 20:11-15).
