The Bible is the inspired word of God, a revelation from God to man, the living, never-failing, always-effective word of God, and a guide to how we should live that is far better than even our conscience or reason. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.

The Trinity is comprised of three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are eternally self-existent, self-revealed, and function as one entity. God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.

We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers. It is separate from salvation. One evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives us what to say, and we believe this gift is available to believers. The Holy Spirit brings power to be effective witnesses for Jesus by the way we live our lives and in how we serve others around us. He blesses us with spiritual gifts, including the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, the working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, various kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues. God enabled the born-again believer to pray perfectly by praying in the Spirit, speaking in tongues.

Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation through making Jesus Lord and Savior of our lives. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.

Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort.

The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin and make Him Lord of their lives. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.

The Church is God's chosen vehicle to reach the world. It is a body of believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.

Baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord should be baptized. Baptism is a public declaration of our faith. It declares to the world that we have died with Christ and that we also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

It's not about the bread and wine: it's about the body and blood of Jesus. Communion is not an obligation, but a celebration. Communion is important because it's a command to remember. It is a symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ, a memorial of His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming. Communion always points us back to Christ. The Bible encourages us to go to communion in the right spirit.

God created male and female. The Church shall only sanction or conduct marriages between a man and a woman. God instituted marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family, the basic structure of human society. God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in other than in the context of marriage between a man and a woman. God has wonderfully and immutably created each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.
