Along with the guiding principles of the Apostles’ and Nicene Creed, we boldly proclaim our affirmation of the following beliefs:
- We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were written by men divinely inspired and that they are the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
- We believe in One God, Creator of all things, existing in three person – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who are of one substance and equal in power.
- We believe that Jesus Christ is the one true Son of God, that he died for all on the cross of Calvary, rose from the grave, and that he will come again.
- We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict all of the Lordship of Christ and to restore the believing sinner to relationship with God the Father.
- We believe that Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (communion) are the two sacraments which were instituted by Christ. These Sacraments are not a means to salvation, but are an outward sign of the inward works of God.
- We believe that baptism is available to all, either by their own choice as an adult, or through covenantal baptism at the decision of their parents.
- We believe that only those who profess Christ as Savior and are Baptized into the faith are eligible to receive communion.
- We believe that each local church is in itself a complete church, and is called to worship collectively and release its members to worship individually. We believe that the local church possesses all the rights and responsibilities of the Church as bestowed upon it by the Holy Spirit and set forth in God’s Word.
- We believe that marriage is a holy union established by God, of one man and one women, in which both enter into covenant, with God’s help, to build a loving, life-giving, faithful relationship that will last a lifetime.
- We believe that mankind is made in the image of God, and thus in the sanctity of human life. We understand the sensitivity, pain and brokenness that exists in our world today, especially in connection to abortion and euthanasia, and we are filled with Christian love for those affected by these issues, however we are unashamedly pro-life.
- We believe that it is the duty of all Christians to carry the gospel with them wherever they go, declaring Jesus to be Lord through word and action.
