1.  There is one God, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  2. Jesus Christ is the only Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born to the Virgin Mary; that Jesus was crucified, buried and raised from the dead; that He ascended into Heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor. After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers.
  3. The Holy Spirit continually prays for, renews, transforms and empowers believers. The Holy Spirit gives assurance, strength, wisdom, and spiritual gifts that we might lead a holy, victorious, powerful Christ-like life.
  4. The Holy Bible is the inspired and infallible written Word of God.
  5. All people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person becomes truly repentant, turns from sin, accepts Jesus Christ as his/her personal Lord and Savior, and trusting Jesus to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit; all his/her sins are forgiven; destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
  6. We believe that men and women are made in the image of God and created to worship and serve their Creator.  Acknowledging our sinfulness, we believe that salvation is a gift from God through Christ and is the path to a restored relationship with God.
  7. We are saved by grace through faith. We believe we are brought to this right relationship not by our own effort or initiative but by the grace of God and by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
  8. All who profess faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are united as members of His Body, the Church. All believers are called to be ministers and to advance God’s Kingdom on earth by embodying God’s love for each other and the world.
  9. Christians are to be baptized with water, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Baptism is an expression of our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior—that He has freed us from sin and given us new life, both today and in Heaven.
  10. The Lord’s Supper commemorates the dying love of Christ, celebrated by all Christians.
