About God – God is Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler over all creation. There is one God, eternally existing as one essence in three persons as the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:15-17; Psalm 19:1; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Hebrews 1:1-3
About Jesus Christ - Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He was born of the Virgin Mary, took on flesh and blood, and made His dwelling among us. His sinless life and His sacrificial death on the cross atones for the sins of all who believe and trust in Him. His bodily resurrection gives all believers victory over sin and death. The only way to eternal life and authentic relationship with God the Father is through Jesus Christ.

About The Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit is equal with, and sent by, the Father and the Son. He makes us aware of our need to follow Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. He resides in every Christian from the moment that person gives his or her life to Christ. He gives us guidance and leadership on a daily basis so we can obey God’s Word. As our Counselor He leads us into all truth. He distributes spiritual gifts for the purpose of serving the Body of Christ. We desire to live a Spirit-filled life under all circumstances and situations.

About Humanity - All of humanity is created in the image of God; and, therefore, possesses intrinsic worth and dignity. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and as a result, are separated from Him and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 53:6, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8; Romans 6:23.
About Salvation – Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, through Christ alone. Salvation is a free gift of God. The death of Christ on the cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins. Every person has sinned, but every person also can be forgiven and saved by Christ. This salvation is available for any person who puts his or her trust in Christ as Savior. Those trusting Christ ask Him for the forgiveness of sin, believe in Him, and confess their faith in Him. Every believer should follow Jesus’ example and obey His command to be baptized as a public proclamation of their faith.

About The Bible - We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. The Bible is God’s living and active Word to all people. It is needed, enough, knowable, and ultimate.

About The Church - The Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to share the Gospel. The Church exists to worship and glorify God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Involvement in a local church is critical to individual spiritual growth, fellowship in community, unity amongst believers, and daily encouragement.

New Creation - Jesus Christ is returning to the world to make all things new. This is called “the second coming of Christ.” He will return personally, bodily, visibly, and suddenly. He will judge the living and the dead upon His return. He is worthy of our worship, and His return will bring victory over sin, death, and all suffering.
