We affirm that the Bible is the written revelation of God to mankind. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and therefore constitute the very Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20–21).

We confess the plenary, verbal inspiration of Scripture—that every word in all its parts is breathed out by God. Scripture is objective, propositional revelation, infallible and inerrant in the original manuscripts, and free from all falsehood (Psalm 12:6; John 10:35).

The Bible is the only infallible rule of faith and practice and is wholly sufficient for life and godliness (2 Timothy 3:15–17).

We interpret Scripture according to the literal, grammatical, historical method. While passages may have multiple applications, they possess one true meaning intended by God. Scripture stands in judgment over man; man never stands in judgment over Scripture.

Applying this method, we affirm:

• Creation in six literal twenty-four-hour days
• The special creation of man and woman in God’s image
• Marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman
• The sinfulness of all sexual activity outside the covenant of marriage

We believe in one living and true God (Deuteronomy 6:4), eternal, infinite, and perfect in all His attributes.

God exists eternally in three coequal and consubstantial Persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

Each Person is fully God, uncreated, distinct, and equally worthy of worship and obedience.

God the Father, the first Person of the Trinity, sovereignly ordains and governs all things according to His purpose and grace (Ephesians 1:11). He is Creator of all and sovereign in creation, providence, and redemption.

From eternity, He graciously chose those whom He would save (Ephesians 1:4–6). He adopts as His children all who come to Him through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 8:15).

He is neither the author nor approver of sin, yet He sovereignly accomplishes His holy purposes in all things.

We believe that Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, is eternal God, coequal and coeternal with the Father (John 1:1; 10:30).

Through Him all things were created and are sustained (Colossians 1:16–17).

In the incarnation, the eternal Son took upon Himself full humanity without ceasing to be fully God. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, He is truly God and truly man—two natures united in one Person without confusion or division.

Christ accomplished redemption through His voluntary, substitutionary, and propitiatory death on the cross (Isaiah 53:5; Romans 3:25). His bodily resurrection confirmed His deity and secured our justification (Romans 4:25).

He has ascended to the Father’s right hand, where He intercedes for His people. He will return personally and bodily for His church, establish His kingdom, and judge all mankind.

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, fully divine and coequal with the Father and the Son (Acts 5:3–4).

He convicts the world of sin, regenerates sinners, baptizes believers into the Body of Christ, indwells them, sanctifies them, empowers them for service, and seals them for the day of redemption.

We affirm that miraculous sign gifts given to authenticate the apostolic message have ceased. The Spirit continues to distribute non-revelatory gifts for the edification of the church.

Man was directly created by God in His image, originally free from sin and endowed with moral responsibility (Genesis 1:26–27).

Through Adam’s disobedience, sin entered the human race. All humanity is fallen, spiritually dead, and incapable of pleasing God apart from divine grace (Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1–3).

All are sinners by nature and by choice. Salvation is wholly of God’s grace.

Before the foundation of the world, God sovereignly chose those whom He would save (Ephesians 1:4). Election is unconditional and grounded solely in His grace—not in foreseen faith or human merit (Romans 9:16).

Salvation is entirely of the Lord. Salvation does not involve any work or merit of man. (John 1:12; Romans 5:18–19; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8–10; 1 Peter 1:18–19).

Regeneration is the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit, granting new life and enabling repentance and faith (John 3:3–7).

Christ’s obedience and sacrificial death fully satisfied God’s justice and secured redemption for all whom the Father has given to Him (Hebrews 10:14).

Justification is God’s legal declaration that the believer is righteous, based solely on the imputed righteousness of Christ and received through faith alone (Romans 3:28; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

All who are truly saved are kept by God’s power and will persevere to the end (John 10:27–30). Genuine faith produces the fruit of obedience.

Believers are positionally sanctified at conversion and progressively conformed to the image of Christ through obedience to the Word and the power of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18).

The church is the Body and Bride of Christ, formed at Pentecost and composed of all believers in this present age (1 Corinthians 12:13).

Christ is its Head. Local churches are governed by biblically qualified elders and deacons (1 Timothy 3:1–13).

The church exists to glorify God through:

• Worship
• The preaching and teaching of the Word
• Fellowship
• The ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper
• The proclamation of the gospel to all nations

We affirm believer’s baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper as the two ordinances given to the church.

We affirm the bodily resurrection of all people: believers to eternal life and unbelievers to eternal judgment (John 5:28–29).

Christ will return for His church, judge the world in righteousness, establish His millennial kingdom, and ultimately usher in the new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells (Revelation 20–22).
