• I believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17.
​
• I believe there is only one true and living God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.
​
• I believe in the deity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.
​
• I believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7.
​
• I believe in the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the followers of Jesus Christ, to live a godly life. John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10.
​
• I believe the ministry of evangelism and discipleship is a responsibility for all Christians. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.
​
• I believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage. I believe God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, I believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female. Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9.
​
• I believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, and to His authority over our lives. Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15.
​
• I believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural death. Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10.
