Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary. He is co-equal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living (if we access that power!), understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gifts and empowers every believer when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.

Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life is a gift that comes when a person receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith; it is sealed by baptism and confirmed by a consistent lifestyle. 

People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence. 

Marriage is and has always been the union of one man and one woman; it is a spiritual and covenantal union that precedes and supersedes any governmental structure or definition for marriage. 

Because we believe that what the Bible says about marriage is clear, definitive, and unchanging, there is no room for debate or compromise on the issue of same-sex marriage. Consequently, we will not accept, nor adhere to, any legal re-definition of marriage issued by any political or judicial body including the United States Supreme Court. We will not recognize same-sex “marriages” and our church and pastors will not bless, host, or perform same-sex ceremonies.
Our only acceptable definition of marriage will be the union of one biological man and one biological woman in an exclusive and faithful covenant relationship. We will treat marriage as a covenant entered into before God, and we will not be bound by any governmental definitions that compromise that viewpoint. 

Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5 

The Bible is God’s Word for us. It was written by human authors over thousands of years and miles, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error, and it is complete.
