We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth (without any mixture of error) for its matter.

We believe there is one and only one living and true God who reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and mankind according to the purpose of His grace. Christ the Son was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He honored the divine law by His personal obedience; and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made a provision for the redemption of men from sin. The Holy Spirit exalts Christ and convicts men of sin, righteousness and judgment. He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism and service.

We believe that salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. There is no other means by which mankind can receive salvation.

We believe in the ordinances of baptism by immersion once having professed faith in Jesus Christ as Savior; and of the Lord’s Supper as a symbolic act of obedience whereby members memorialize the death of Christ and anticipate His second coming.

We believe in the second coming of Christ where Jesus will return personally and visibly. The dead will be raised and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The righteous will receive their reward and will dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord. The unrighteous will be consigned to Hell.

We believe the church is autonomous local congregation of baptized believers; united by a covenant of faith and fellowship who is seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. It is also a body of believers which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages.
