The Trinitarian nature of God – three co-equal and co-eternal persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), who share the one divine essence of God.
-
God has revealed Himself fully and decisively as attested in Holy Scripture. We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God. The Scriptures are the guide of faith and life.
-
There is only one way to salvation – through Jesus Christ.
-
The sanctity of human life at every stage based on our creation in the image of God and our election by God for service in His kingdom.

The Biblical guidelines for human sexuality: marriage as the union of one man and one woman, chastity outside of marriage, lifelong fidelity and holiness in marriage for the sake of the Kingdom.
-
That the mission of the Church is to spread the good news of the Gospel of salvation in every word and deed.

We are sent by Christ into all the world to bring every person into a life of faith, discipleship and submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
-
In accordance with the teachings of Jesus, we recognize two Sacraments: Baptism and The Lord's Supper or Holy Communion.
-
Because we believe that the Scriptures are the only infallible authority for faith and life, we make the teaching of those Scriptures the center of our liturgical worship and the life of our church.
-
We believe in God’s sovereignty over all things, we teach that God elected His people to salvation before the world began. God sends His Spirit to His elect to work faith in them at His appointed time, so that our conversion is the result of His first working in us. However, we also understand that election is not salvation itself, but election is always unto salvation. God desires not the death of a sinner, but rather desires that he/she may turn from his/her sin and that they may place their faith in Jesus Christ alone for eternal salvation. The Gospel is a free and open call to all who hear and believe.
