- We believe there is one God, manifest in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- We believe Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was fully God, and fully man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave and ascended into heaven.
- We believe in the literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to the earth.
- We believe the Bible is the Word of God without err, the sole authority for life.
- We believe man is a special creation of God, made in His image.
- We believe mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all men are sinners in need of salvation.
- We believe Jesus is a gift given through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe persons that die in their sins spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven spend eternity in Heaven.
- We believe baptism is in obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation.
- We believe the church is the local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the head.
