• The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God and constitutes
completed and final revelation. The Bible, in its original autograph, is
without error in whole and in part, including theological concepts as well
as geographical and historical facts. (II Tim. 3:16, Matt. 5:17-18, II Peter
1:19-21)
• God has existed from all eternity in three persons: God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God. He came in human
flesh being fully God and fully man except without sin. (Col. 2:9, Jn. 10:30,
Phil. 2:5-10, Gen. 1:2, Joel 2:28-29, John 1:1-14, 14:16-17, 14:26, 15:26,
16:7-14, II Cor. 5:21)
• All men have sinned. The consequence of sin is eternal separation from
God. However, the central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to
pay the penalty for man’s sin through substitutionary death on the cross –
the successful accomplishment that was attested to by His subsequent
visible, bodily resurrection. (Rom. 3:10-26, I Cor. 15:12-22, II Cor. 5:14-21)
• Salvation is offered as a gift, free to the sinner. This gift must be
responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works but in
the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone. (Rom. 6:23, Eph. 2:1-10, II Cor.
5:14-21)
• Children are given by God as a stewardship to the parent and not the
state and that parents have the right and authority to teach and educate
their own children. (Prov. 22:6; Deut. 6:6-7; Eph. 6:4, Mal. 2:15, Ps. 127:3-
5)
• We believe that God creates people in his image as either male or female, and that this creation is a fixed matter of human biology, not individual choice. We believe marriage is instituted by God, not government, is between one man and one woman, and is the only context for sexual desire and expression. (Genesis 1:27; 2:24; Matthew 19:5; Romans 1:26-27)
