We believe in one eternally existent, infinite God, He, as God is Holy, and is triune in essential being and revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ -- became incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, so that two whole and perfect natures, are united in one person the God-man. He died for our sins, and He rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven and there He intercedes for us.

Holy Spirit -- ever present and efficiently active in and with the Church convincing the world of sin, regenerating those who repent & believe, sanctifying believers and guiding into all truth as it is in Jesus.

Holy Scriptures -- we believe in plenary inspiration. The Bible, inerrantly reveals the will of God concerning all things necessary to salvation.

Sin -- came into the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Actual and Personal sin is a voluntary violation of a known law of God, by a morally responsible person.

Atonement -- Jesus by His suffering and the shedding of blood, made a full atonement for all human sin.

Free Agency -- God created the human race with the ability to choose between right and wrong. We believe God's grace is freely bestowed on all enabling all who will to turn from sin to righteousness. We believe that all persons may fall from grace and apostatize and unless they repent be hopelessly and eternally lost.

Repentance -- a sincere and thorough change of heart in regard to sin, is required of all who have sinned.

Justification, Regeneration, Adoption -- are simultaneous in the experience of seekers after God.

Entire Sanctification -- is the act of God, by which believers are made free from original sin, and brought into a state of entire devotion to God, and the obedience of love made perfect.

The Church -- the community that confesses Jesus Christ as Lord. It is called by God to worship, and abide in unity. It is to continue the work of Christ, in the world.

We believe in Christian Baptism

We believe in and celebrate the Lord's Supper.

Divine Healing -- while we believe in medicine, we seek healing as God's gift. We encourage the anointing with oil and prayer for the healing of the sick.

Second Coming -- we believe Christ is coming again. He will take those who believe home to heaven.
