God the Father is the Creator and sustainer of all that exists, both the seen and the unseen. God is eternal and completely good, knowing all things and having all power. God exists as the Trinity, in three persons, yet one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God passionately desires relationship with us and invites us into a personal relationship with Him.

Genesis 1:1; John 14:6-9, 15-17 and John 16:7-15; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:9-1

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary work on the cross, bodily resurrection from the dead, and His exaltation to the right hand of God. Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 7:26; Acts 10:38; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Matthew 28:6; Philippians 2:9-11

The Holy Spirit is present in the world to convict the world of sin and draw them to the Father. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, guidance in doing what is right, and power to witness. Every believer has access to the Holy Spirit’s gifts when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His guidance daily.

Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49; John 14:15-17; 26; Romans 8:26; Romans 15:13; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

The Bible is inspired by God and is our all-sufficient rule for faith and conduct. It is the supreme and supernatural source of truth for our Christian beliefs and living. 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21

People are created in the spiritual image of God. Though originally good, man willingly fell to sin–separating man from God and ushering in evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. Genesis 1:26,27; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12-19

Every person can have restored fellowship with God by grace through salvation in Christ alone. (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8 ; Titus 2:11; Titus 3:5-7

People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence. Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-46;

The church is a local community of believers unified through faith in Christ and a part of the bigger whole of the global church. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and to obeying all of His commands as it seeks to bring the gospel to the world. The church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ and making Him known to the world.. Ephesians 1:22,23; Ephesians 2:22; Hebrews 12:23

Anyone who repents of their sin and believes in Christ as their Savior is to be baptized in water. By doing this, they symbolically declare to the world that they have died with Christ and have also been raised to live a new life with Him. We practice water baptism by full immersion. Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47,48; Romans 6:4

The Lord’s supper, consisting of bread and fruit of the vine, is a spiritual expression of our sharing of the divine nature of Christ, the memorial of his suffering and death, and the prophetic declaration of His return. Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

We believe in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52
