We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit
and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of
God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and
practice.

We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in
three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from
God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.

We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those
He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any
human individual merit, or foreseen faith.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His
perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in
Him, alone, for salvation.

We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as
individuals but as families in successive generations according to His
Covenant promises.

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the
strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.

We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind
and to receive His people to Himself.

We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God
under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
