About God: We believe in only one God, the sovereign Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally
existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that God deserves all of our honor, glory and
order.
About Jesus Christ: We believe Jesus Christ is true God who became true man united in one person. He
became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He died on the cross, a
sacrifice for our sins. On the third day He arose bodily from the dead and ascended into the presence of God
Almighty.
About the Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and Jesus Christ as being God.
We believe in the Holy Spirit’s immediate gracious presence and power through His fruit, gifts and ongoing
enablement.
About Mankind: We believe all people are created in the image of God and eternally loved by Him. However,
because of our total rebellion against God, all of mankind became estranged from and enemies of God, and while
we remain outside of Jesus Christ, are eternally condemned by our sinfulness.
About Salvation: We believe that our salvation is completely dependent upon the work of God’s free grace in
Jesus Christ. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, are
born again of the Holy Spirit and receive the gift of eternal life. Because God gave man eternal life through Jesus
Christ, the believer is secure in his or her salvation. Salvation is maintained by the grace of God, not by the self-
effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
About the Church: We believe the true universal church consists of everyone who is united in the one body of
Christ through saving faith in Jesus Christ. The universal church finds her visible, yet imperfect, expression in
local congregations throughout the world. We value and respect all of God’s people, past and present, and
desire to partner with other churches in solidarity and unity.
About our Purpose: We believe that the purpose the church exists on earth today is to obey the Lord Jesus
Christ’s command to proclaim the unchanging Gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations.
We realize that our obedience to Jesus’ Great Commission will require our total commitment.
About the Return of Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead, and
to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. The church’s perfection awaits the return of Jesus Christ.
About the End of the World: We believe that God will perfect His kingdom and we look forward with confidence
and eager anticipation to that Day, and to the new heaven and new earth in which righteousness will dwell and
God will reign forever.
