We are brothers and sisters in Christ because we have the same heavenly father, not because we agree on all things. Therefore, in essential beliefs we have unity, in non-essential beliefs we have liberty, and in all our beliefs we show love. We believe truth exists, that it never changes, and this truth defines who we are.

• There is one true God who has always existed in three Persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 5:16,45; 6:1,4,8,9; James 1:17/John 1:1; 3:16; 14:9-11 / Genesis 1:2; John 4:24; 14:16-20; 2 Peter 1:21).
  
• ​God is the Creator of all things (Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; Hebrews 11:3).
• Jesus Christ is God's one and only Son and our one and only Savior (John 1:14; 1 John 4:9 / John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:18).
  • He was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 21:11; John 19:19 / John 1:14; Romans 5;15-17; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 1:1 / Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26-38).
  • He was crucified on a cross to pay the penalty for the sins of all people (Luke 23:1-46).
  • He died, was buried, and came back to life on the third day (Luke 23:44 – 24:8; John 20:24-29; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8).
  • He ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father (Luke 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1).
  • He will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead (Matthew 24:36-42; John 14:1-3, Acts 1:10-11; 10:39-42; 1 Peter 4:5).
• The Holy Spirit is an active and operative part of the Trinity (John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27) who indwells and empowers all Christians (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14).
• Satan exists.
  • He is working to frustrate God's plan to redeem the world (Ephesians 6:11; John 8:44; John 12:31; John 14:30; John 16:11).
  • He is actively seeking to tempt and destroy all Christians (1 Peter 5:8; 2 Corinthians 4:4).
• The Bible is God's Holy Word. We believe God inspired the writings of Scripture and these writings reveal God’s will and character (Mark 12:36; John 14:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
  • We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice (Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12).
• The Bible teaches that man willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23).
• The Bible teaches that salvation, the forgiveness of sins and enjoying a relationship with God, is only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7).
• The Bible teaches that one receives God's grace by putting faith in Christ, repenting of their sin, confessing Christ and being baptized into Christ (Romans 5:1-2 / Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19; 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9 / Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:15 / Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21, Matthew 28:19-20).
• The Church of Jesus Christ was founded on the Day of Pentecost and consists of all Christians everywhere (Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47).
• God wants every Christian to be transformed into the image of Jesus Christ (Romans 12:2; 2Corinthians 3:18; 1Corinthians 11:1; Ephesians 4:13).
• True worship is a life of service to God and others (Romans 12:1; 1Peter 4:10-11; Galatians 5:13-14; John 13:12-14; Mark 10:44-45; Matthew 20:28; Philippians 2:1-11; Ephesians 4:12).
• The Bible teaches that a plurality of elders should exercise authority over autonomous local congregations (Acts 20:28; Philippians 1:1; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-4).
