- We believe that the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
- We believe there is only one God who eternally exists in three persons; the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
- We believe that God created everything, us, and the entire universe around us, with His spoken word. (Genesis 1:1-31)
- We believe that God the Son, in the person of Jesus Christ, became human and was born of a virgin; lived a sinless life; died a literal death; was bodily resurrected and ascended into heaven. (Luke 1:34-35; 1 Peter 2:24; Romans 4:24-25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
- We believe that all are sinners. We are hopeless without accepting the salvation offered through Jesus Christ’s shed blood. Salvation is a free gift obtained by faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and not acquired by good works. (Romans 6:23; Romans 10:9, 13, 17; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2: 8-9)
- We believe that marriage was created by God, and it is intended to be a sacred life-long union between one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-5) We believe God is perfect and makes no mistakes. He created each person with a correct gender given at birth. (Psalm 18:30; Psalm 149:14)
- We believe that any form of sexual immorality including adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, and use of pornography is sinful and offensive to God. (Exodus 20:14; 1 Corinthians 6:18; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Exodus 22:19; Colossians 3:5; Hebrews 13:4)
- We seek to love all people in Jesus’ name, pointing them towards Christ’s power to forgive and heal. (Genesis 1:26-28; Matthew 15:18-20; Ephesians 5:22-32; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:9-20; Romans 1-18-32)
