ETERNAL GODHEAD
We believe in one God existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We believe they are co-equal and co-existing from all eternity.
Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, 1 Timothy 2:5, Matthew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 13:14, John 1:1-3, 1 John 5:7
JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus is the Son of God the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Uniquely man and God, co-existing and co-equal with the Trinity. We believe Jesus Christ is the mediator between man and God, having ushered the Gospel by living a sinless life preaching and teaching the good news of the kingdom of God. We believe that Jesus Christ offered His life as a ransom for humanity by dying on the cross of Calvary; in three days rose from the grave in bodily form. We believe Jesus Christ's resurrection displays the ultimate victory over the world, sin and death. We believe Jesus Christ is seated in sovereign power, authority, honor and will one day return to the earth as King of kings and Lord of lords.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the Holy Spirit is co-equal and co-existent with the Godhead. We believe the Holy Spirit is co-creator, and is present in the world to convict people of their sins, making them aware of their need for a Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe people are regenerated (born again) by the Holy Spirit, and are in-dwelt with His: power, comfort, counsel and guidance for holy living. We believe the Holy Spirit imparts gifts that are beyond natural human ability for the furthering of God's holy church and His kingdom.

THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is the infallible and immutable Word of God. We believe the Bible is inerrant and is compromised of 66 books: 39 Old Testament and 27 New Testament. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God written by men of God who were carried along by the Holy Spirit. We believe the Bible is the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21, John 5:39, Matthew 24:35
PEOPLE
We believe people are created in the image of God and are the object of His absolute love and creation. We believe people were created by God without any imperfection; through human free will, man has disobeyed God and fallen from the state that he was created. Through man's transgressions and disobedience he has separated himself from God, causing bondage, pain and death and is in absolute need of a Savior. It is through the Gospel of Jesus Christ we believe people can once again be restored to peace, harmony, love and joy with God for eternity.
Genesis 1:26-27, Psalm 8:3-6, Psalm 51:5, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 59:1-2, Romans 5:12, Romans 5:19, Romans 3:21-24
THE CHURCH
We believe the Church is the bride of Jesus Christ. The gathering of people who have been redeemed into God's family - come together to worship, pray, baptize, partake communion and practically live out the Gospel together. We believe the Church is the expression of God's kingdom on earth, though Heaven is the full expression of God's kingdom; we believe the Church is the Beloved of God, who are faithfully to live out the tenets of the scripture and Jesus Christ's commands - creating disciples, preaching the Gospel and being a light unto the world.
Matthew 16:16-18, Romans 5:12, Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 4:4-6, Hebrews 10:24-25
