Believing the Bible to be our final authority for faith and Christian living, we affirm the following:
The Universe
The universe is the purposeful creation of a personal, loving, almighty God.
Sin
Our world is under the sway of sin as a result of an historical and a personal human rebellion against God, so that suffering, death, and separation from God are the experience of humankind; and that without the intervention of God’s grace, this will be the eternal state of all persons.
Humankind
All human beings are made in the image of the Creator and are of infinite worth.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the one and only Savior of the world. He is the incarnate Son of God, and through his virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death on the Cross, and glorious resurrection and ascension, graciously offers new life to all who receive him by faith.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, indwelling believers, gives them a desire and an ability to follow biblical standards of conduct in their personal lives and in society.
The Trinity
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. The Bible is our final authority for matters of doctrine and standards of Christian living.
The Church
The Christian faith is lived in the community of the church, where worship and witness are embodied through the spiritual gifts of its members.
