In essential beliefs - we have unity.
Ephesians 4:4-6, "There is one body, and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." (NKJV)

In non-essential beliefs - we have liberty.
Romans 14:1,4,12, 22, "(1) Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. (4) Who are you to judge another.s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. (12) So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. (22) Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves." (NKJV)

In all our beliefs - we show charity.
I Corinthians 13:2, "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." (NKJV)

THE DOCTRINE OF SCRIPTURE
We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration by God of all sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as originally written, being the product of spirit-controlled men. Thus the Bible is without error and our only authority for faith and practice.
II Timothy 3:16,17; II Peter 1:19-21; John 17:17; Luke 6:46

THE DOCTRINE OF GOD THE FATHER
We believe that God is the Father of all those who trust in Him. As our Father, He presently indwells us, answers our prayer, forgives our sins, chastens us, and is the giver of every good and perfect gift.
I John 3:1,2; John 14:23; 16:23; I John 1:9; Hebrews 12:5-15; James 1:17

THE DOCTRINE OF GOD THE SON
We believe that Jesus Christ is co-eternal and co-equal with the Father; that He was God manifest in the flesh conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin; that, being sinless, He died for the sins of all mankind and rose bodily from the dead; and that He ascended to heaven where He is now our advocate and Great High Priest.
John 5:18; Philippians 2:6; I Timothy 3:16; Matthew 1:20-25; Hebrews 4:5; I Corinthians 15:1-6; I John 2:1; Hebrews 4:14

THE DOCTRINE OF GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-eternal and co-equal with the Father; that He convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness and judgment; that He regenerates, indwells, baptizes, seals and anoints all who become children of God through Christ; that He further empowers, guides, teaches, sanctifies and fills believers who are continually surrendered to God.
John 3:5; 14:16,17,26; 15:7-14; Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:13; II Corinthians 3:18

THE DOCTRINE OF SPIRIT BEINGS
a. The Angels. We believe that there is an innumerable host of personal, spirit beings, who were created by God and who minister to God and believers.
Hebrews 12:22; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:14; Revelation 5:11-13
b. The Demons. We believe that Satan and the demons are created spirit beings who have sinned against God, who are actively working against Christ and the believers, and who will ultimately be cast into the Everlasting Lake of Fire.
Ezekiel 28:14,15; Revelation 12:4; Ephesians 6:12; Matthew 25:41

THE DOCTRINE OF CREATION
We believe the Biblical account of creation; that man and the universe came by direct creation of God and not by evolution.
Genesis 1; John 1:1-5; Colossians 1:15-19

THE DOCTRINE OF SIN
We believe that man was created without sin, but because of Adam.s sin all mankind possesses a sin nature, thus alienating them from the fellowship and family of God.
Romans 5:12, 3:23, 6:23

THE DOCTRINE OF SALVATION
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, and not of works. All three members of the Trinity are involved in our salvation. Eph. 2:8,9 God the Father planned it as He sovereignly chose to save all who believe to be recipients of His grace from before the foundations of the world.
John 1:12,13; 6:35-39; I Timothy 2:3-4; II Peter 3:9
a. God the Son provided it by His substitutionary death for our sins and His resurrection from the dead. As a result, God has been propitiated and the believer is redeemed and reconciled.
I Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 3:25; Ephesians 1:7; II Corinthians. 5:18-21
b. God the Spirit applies it by convicting men of sin, by giving them faith to believe, and by causing them to be born again.
John 16:7-11; Ephesians 2:8,9 John 3:1-7
c. Man receives it by faith, believing that Jesus Christ died for our personal sins, was buried, and bodily rose from the grave as the living Savior. I Corinthians 15:1-7 The result being, that man possesses eternal life, having been saved from a literal hell. I John 5:11-12
Since salvation is by grace, it is impossible for any believer to lose his salvation.
John10: 27-29; Ephesians 1:13-14; I Peter 1:3-5; Romans 8:35-39

THE DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH
a. The Universal Church. We believe that the universal church, the body of Christ, is comprised of all believers from the Day of Pentecost to the rapture. At the point of salvation, every believer was baptized into the body of Christ and received spiritual gifts for service.
Acts 1:5; 2:33-47; I Corinthians 12:11-13
b. The Local Church. The local church is an organized group of baptized believers in a particular place who meet to observe the ordinances, to worship God, to edify the saints, and to fulfill the great commission. The ordinances are Baptism by immersion and the Lord.s Supper, both of which are symbolical. Every believer is responsible to use his spiritual gifts to edify the Body of Christ.
Acts 2:41,42; 8:35-39; I Corinthians 11:23-34; Ephesians 4:11

THE DOCTRINE OF FUTURE EVENTS
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead in Christ and the glorification of all saints at the rapture of the Church. The rapture takes place just prior to the seven years of the tribulation. The second coming of Christ refers to his coming back at the end of the seven years of tribulation to judge, rule, and reign over the whole earth for 1,000 literal years.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Matthew 25:29-31; Revelation 20:1-6; II Corinthians 5:10; Ezekiel 20:37-38; Revelation 20:7-15

CIVIL GOVERNMENT
We believe that governmental authorities are the ministers of God, to be terrors of evil, and to allow us to live a quiet and peaceful life; that they are to be prayed for, honored, and obeyed except in things contrary to God.s Word.
Romans 13:1-7; Daniel 4:17-18; I Timothy 2:2
