In beliefs that are essential, we have unity.
Core Beliefs
THE GODHEAD
We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, having the same nature, attributes, and perfection. Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16; Matthew 28:19; Mark 12:29; I Corinthians 2:13-14
THE AUTHORITY & POWER OF THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible (Old Testament and New Testament) is the inerrant and plenary Word of God and that "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of god may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." I Corinthians 2:13-16; II Timothy 3:16-17 ; II Peter 1:21
THE UNIQUENESS & UNIVERSALITY OF CHRIST
We believe in the Personality and Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, eternally pre-existent and eternally God, begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, truly God and truly Man. Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:1-3, 14, 10:30; Galatians 4:4; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:1-3; Revelation 1:8

Beliefs
GOD
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
THE FALL
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
THE CHURCH
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
REVELATION
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
SALVATION
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
RESURRECTION
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
MANKIND
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
