• We believe in one God, who exists as a Trinity in three persons:

• the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16,17; John 1:1,14; John 14:9; Genesis 1:2,26; John 4:24, John 10:30; John 14:16-20)

• We believe in God the Father, the first person of the Trinity, Creator of all things, visible and invisible. (Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; Hebrews 11:3)

• We believe in the Son, the second person of the Trinity, the eternal Logos. (John 1:1; 8:58)

• We believe that in the Incarnation, the Son added a human nature to his divine nature without confusion, without change, without division, without separation. (John 1:14; Colossians 1:15; 2:9; Hebrews 13:8)

• We believe Jesus was conceived uniquely and miraculously by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary. (Philippians 2:7,8; John 1:14; Romans 5:15-17; Colossians 2:9; I John 1:1; Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26-38)

• We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, equal with the Father and Son. (Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:2)

• We believe that mankind was meant to have fellowship with God, but through Adam’s disobedience, sin separated us from God, our source of life. (Isaiah 59:2; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12)

• We believe that hell is a place that was made for Satan and his demons. However, people who reject Christ will be thrown into the Lake of Fire without another chance for repentance. (Matthew 25:41,Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 19:20; Hebrews 6:1,2)

• We believe that Jesus suffered and was crucified to pay the price for our sins and to undo the works of the devil. (I John 3:8; Galatians 3:13 Colossians 2:14,15).

• We believe Jesus was buried and resurrected in bodily form on the third day. (Luke 23:44-24:8; John 20:24-29; I Corinthians 15:3-8)

• We believe that salvation and forgiveness of sins is only received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. (Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:17; Ephesians 2:8-9; I Peter 1:18-19; I John 1:7-9)

• We believe that God gives eternal life to those whom the Spirit regenerates and who place their faith in Jesus Christ. (II Corinthians 5:17; John 3:3-5; I John 5:12,13; John 3:16; Romans 10:9,10)

• We believe that water baptism is an outward expression of the inward work of salvation. (Romans 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Colossians 2:12)

• We believe that Jesus was glorified, ascended into Heaven, and now sits at the right hand of the Father. (Luke 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1)

• We believe that Jesus will return to the earth to judge both the living and the dead. (Matthew 24:36-42; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:10-11, 10:39-42; I Peter 4:5; I Thessalonians 4:16,17)

• We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every Christian. (John 15:26; John 16:5-15; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19; II Timothy 1:14)

• We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers the Christian. (Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27; 1 Corinthians 12:11)

• We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, written by men who were moved by the Holy Spirit. (Mark 12:36; John 14:26, 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; I Corinthians 2:12-13; II Timothy 3:14-16; II Peter 1:20-21)

• We believe that the Bible is final authority for all matters of faith and conduct. (Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18, 24:35; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12)
