We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible,
authoritative Word of God in the original text and the only rule of faith and
practice. II Timothy 3:16-17
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three
persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians
13:14
We believe in the deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His
visible return in power and glory. Colossians 1:13-20
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only mediator
between God and Man. I Timothy 2:5
We believe that all men are lost and sinful, and that salvation
is received by the grace of God through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
and by the act of regeneration of life by the Holy Spirit. Romans
3:23-26; Titus 3:5
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose
indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. Romans 8:9
We believe that support and participation in the task of
fulfilling the great commission is the responsibility of all believers in our
Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:19-20
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in the Lord
Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit as established in the Bible.
John 17:20-23; I Corinthians 12:12-13
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the
lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life, and they that
are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation. John 5:24-25, 28-29
We believe that the universe originated by the creative act of
God as revealed in Holy Scripture, and that the form of every kind of life was
fixed at the time of its creation. Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3
We believe that God created marriage in the beginning, as a
blessing for both man and woman, before any sin or rebellion entered the world,
and that he created marriage to be between one man and one woman, who enter
into a covenant relationship, complement one another, serve one another, and
sanctify one another for as long as they both shall live. Accordingly, we
reject any attempt to redefine marriage as a union between people of the same
sex or as between more than one man and one woman. We believe that the
homosexual lifestyle and alternative gender identities are contrary to the
Bible. Gen. 1:27-28; 2:15-24; Lev 18:22; Lev 20:13a; Matt 19:4-6; Rom
1:26-27; 1 Cor 7:14
We believe that human life is sacred and created by God in His
image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including
pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every
other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are
therefore called to defend, protect, and value all of human life. Psalm
139
