The Bible
We believe that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. They are fully relevant for today and serve as the final authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and practice.

The Trinity
We believe in one true God who eternally exists in three distinct yet co-equal Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence, equal in power and glory. The Creator became a man and died on the cross for sins. He wants to give you the Holy Spirit to empower and enable you to bring Him glory. 

Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He lived a sinless and holy life, revealing the complete character and nature of God as a Father that would die for His wife and children. He died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for sinners, was buried, and rose bodily from the grave on the third day in victory over sin and death. Teaching his followers how to lead victorious lifestyles that Glorify God.

Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, and not by human works. It cannot be earned or deserved. Salvation comes through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, resulting in reconciliation with God and the gift of eternal life. Discipline and good works are  not enough Jesus had to die for your sin. This reflects God's holy and paternal nature as well bringing fulfillment to the pattern of sacrifice for human sin shown early in the Bible. 

Sanctification
We believe that those whom God saves are called to a life of transformation and holiness, set apart for His glory. While salvation is entirely by grace, believers respond to that grace through willing obedience, growing in Christ-likeness through the ongoing work of sanctification. We grow spiritually as we embrace the Holy Spirit with the spiritual teachings of the holy Bible. 

The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer at salvation, bringing regeneration and new life. He convicts of sin, guides in truth, empowers for godly living and service, and works continually to restore and mature believers in their faith. The spirit is unique from the Father and Son and is considered part of the Holy Trinity leading guiding empowering and comforting believers to perform God's will on earth. 

Hell
We believe in the reality of hell as a place of eternal separation from God. It was prepared for Satan and his angels, and those who reject God’s gift of salvation will experience eternal judgment without end.

The Second Coming
We believe that Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to the earth. Following the final judgment, He will reign in righteousness and establish His eternal kingdom.
