We believe the entire Bible to be the inspired, infallible Word of God, the revelation of God’s will for man and the divine and final authority for the Christian life.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who is revealed in three Persons: God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
God the Father is an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in Holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer and that he saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
Matthew 7:11, 6:9, 5:45, 11:25; 1 Peter 1:17; John 3:16; Ephesians 2:10
Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teaching. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal visible return to earth.
Matthew 1:18-25, 3:17; 1 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:3, 5:5-10; 1 John 4:3; Revelation 1:5
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgement, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.

Matthew 1:18; Hebrews 12:2
We believe in having a personal relationship with Jesus by asking Him into our heart. It’s salvation and forgiveness of sins through the shed blood of Jesus, acknowledging every person’s need for the grace and mercy of God. We all have sinned. We all need Jesus.
Romans 3:23-24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 1:9
We receive Communion to remember Jesus’ sacrifice when He died on the Cross and to celebrate His resurrection power.
