The True God
We believe there is only one true God—Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent— in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and that He is the Creator of all things and the Redeemer of man.  (Psalm 83:18John 10:30I Timothy 2:5I John 5:7-8)

Jesus Christ
We believe in the Virgin birth and Deity of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, His miracles and teachings, the atoning power of His shed blood, His crucifixion, His resurrection on the third day, His ascension back to Heaven from the Mount of Olives, and His eventual second coming to the earth.  (Isaiah 7:14St. Matthew 1:21St. John 20:30-31Acts 1:1-11)

Salvation
We believe that all men are born into sin due to the disobedience of our forefathers (Adam and Eve); that Salvation only comes through repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior; and Salvation is only found in the name of Jesus.   (Psalm 51:5Romans 3:22-26Hebrews 2:9)

The Holy Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God, authored by the Lord as He led holy men to write under his inspiration.  It is true in every prophecy and all of its contents, and it is applicable to every individual.  (II Timothy 3:15-17)

Works of Grace
We believe in the two works of grace which are worked in man by the Lord:  Justification and Sanctification.  (Acts 10:43Romans 8:29-30Romans 15:16II Corinthians 5:17)

The Second Coming
We believe that Jesus Christ will come again (for his people in the rapture and with his people in the second coming) to judge the quick and the dead, and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord for the redeemed.  (St. John 14:3Acts 1:10-11I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

The Resurrection   
We believe in two resurrections:  The first resurrection for the saved who are destined eternally to heaven, and the second resurrection for the unsaved who are destined eternally to the lake of fire.  (Daniel 12:2St. John 5:28-29)
