- We believe the Bible to be God's Word. It is inerrant and infallible and teaches truthfully on whatever subject it addresses.
- We believe God created the world, and all life, including human beings.
- We believe that salvation from God's judgment is only possible by appropriating the work of Jesus Christ on the cross by faith. We receive this salvation when we believe on the Lord and trust fully in His blood. By doing this we are born again of the Holy Spirit and receive the gift of eternal life. Salvation comes therefore by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
- We believe the Gospel is the basic message of the Bible and the church. It is God's invitation to be saved from His judgment.
- We believe that whoever truly trusts in the finished work of Christ for salvation receives the gift of eternal life and is eternally secure. That is, a truly saved person can not lose the salvation that God has given.
- We believe that Christ died for the whole world and that all humanity is eligible to believe on Christ and be saved.
- We believe that each Christian receives the gift of the Holy Spirit at the moment of conversion.
- We believe that the Devil is real and that he has a host of evil powers called demons that assist him in destroying the lives of people and turning them from God.
- We believe that the Bible teaches that upon death the believer passes immediately into the presence of Christ in Heaven. Unbelievers pass immediately into Hades and at the final judgment are sentenced to be eternally separated from God (Hell).
- We believe that Christ's second coming will be "pre-tribulational" and "pre-millenial." That is, that the church will be caught up to be with Christ prior to the great tribulation and will return with Him to rule on the earth in a 1000 year kingdom after the seven year tribulation.
