We believe the Bible—consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments—is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is without error in the original manuscripts and is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 19:7–11)

We believe in one eternal God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence and equal in every divine attribute, yet distinct in roles.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

God the Father is the first person of the Trinity. He orders and accomplishes all things according to His own purpose and grace. He is the source of all that exists, both visible and invisible.
(Matthew 6:9; Ephesians 1:3–6; 1 Peter 1:2)

Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, is the second person of the Trinity. He is fully God and fully man. Through the incarnation, He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, and ascended to the right hand of the Father. He will return bodily and visibly to reign as King.
(John 1:1, 14; Philippians 2:5–11; Colossians 1:15–20; Heb. 1:1–3)

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He is fully God and a distinct person. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerates and indwells believers, empowers them for godly living and service, and distributes spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church.
(John 16:8–11; 1 Corinthians 12:4–13; Ephesians 1:13–14; Romans 8:9–11)

The three persons of the Trinity are distinct yet eternally and perfectly united in essence and purpose. The Father is not the Son; the Son is not the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is not the Father. Yet each is fully and equally God. They relate to one another in perfect harmony and love.
(Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:16–17; John 17:20–23)

We believe that humanity was created in the image of God but sinned through Adam’s transgression. As a result, all people are born spiritually dead, under sin’s penalty, and in need of salvation through Jesus Christ.
(Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1–3)

We believe that God created humanity in His own image, and that He intentionally created people as male and female—two distinct, complementary genders—each reflecting His image and designed to fulfill His purposes. The biological differences between male and female are intentional and meaningful, and these distinctions are to be honored and affirmed.
(Genesis 1:26–27; Genesis 2:18–24; Matthew 19:4–6, Psalm 139:13–16)

We believe that marriage is the covenantal union of one man and one woman, ordained by God to reflect Christ’s relationship with the Church. Sexual intimacy is a good gift of God, designed exclusively for the marriage relationship.
All sexual activity outside the covenant of marriage is sin.
(Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 6:9–11)

We believe that salvation is the gift of God, brought to humanity by grace and received by personal faith in Jesus Christ alone. Salvation is not the result of works but is entirely of God's grace.
(Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5; John 1:12; John 3:16–18)

We believe that the Church, the body of Christ, began at Pentecost and is composed of all believers in Jesus Christ during this present age. The Church is distinct from Israel. Believers are called to gather for worship, teaching, fellowship, and the observance of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
(Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:1–4, 41–47; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13; Ephesians 1:22–23)

We believe that every believer is called to live a holy life, empowered by the Holy Spirit, in obedience to God’s Word. Though believers still struggle with sin, they are progressively sanctified through God’s grace.
(Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:16–25; 1 Peter 1:14–16; 2 Corinthians 3:18)

We believe in the imminent, pre-tribulational rapture of the Church. This will be followed by a seven-year Tribulation, after which Jesus Christ will return bodily to establish His millennial kingdom on earth. After the Millennium, there will be a final judgment, followed by the eternal state of blessing for believers and eternal separation for unbelievers.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; Revelation 3:10; Revelation 19–20; John 14:1–3; Revelation 21–22)

We believe that Israel is God’s chosen nation, distinct from the Church. God’s promises to Israel—including the land and kingdom promises—will be fulfilled in the future Messianic kingdom.
(Genesis 12:1–3; Jeremiah 31:31–34; Ezekiel 37:21–28; Romans 11:25–29)

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all people: the saved to eternal life with God, and the unsaved to eternal separation from God in conscious punishment.
(Daniel 12:2; John 5:28–29; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:1–4)
