Core Beliefs
God
There is but one eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere-present Triune God: God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who is the creator and sustainer of all things.
Jesus
He is God incarnate, yet human. He lived a sinless life, died to make atonement for the sins of all mankind, was bodily resurrected, and is now mediator at the right hand of the Father. He is assuredly coming in power and glory for His believing followers and is the only Savior of men.
Holy Spirit
He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerating all who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He sanctifies, empowers, teaches, guides and comforts believers.
The Bible
The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God and thus authoritative in all matters it addresses.
Salvation
Salvation is the result of genuine repentance of sin and faith in the atoning work of Christ. It brings forgiveness to the penitent, makes him a partaker of the divine nature, and gives peace with God. We call this new birth.
The Church
We believe in the invisible and universal Church as an organism. It is composed of all believers in the Lord Jesus who have been vitally united by faith to Christ, its living Head and sovereign Lord.
Ordinances
We believe the Christian ordinances are two: baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe they are outward rites appointed by Christ to be administered in each church, not as a means of salvation, but as a visible sign and seal of its reality.
