We believe that:
- There is one God, eternally existing as three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, is wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave and ascended into heaven.
- There will be a literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth.
- The Bible is the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life.
- Mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and all people are sinners in need of salvation.
- Salvation is a gift of grace from God received through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Those persons who die without faith in Jesus Christ spend eternity in hell, and those persons who die with their sins forgiven, through faith in Christ, spend eternity in heaven.
- Baptism is performed in obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation.
- The church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the head.
- Each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
