SALVATION
John 10:27-30; 14:16, 17; 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20; 1 Peter 1:22,23
We believe that all who by faith receive Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, therefore children of God and eternally saved, and that the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer to enlighten, guide, and enable the believer in life, testimony, and service.

Isaiah 7:14; John 20:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:9; Titus 3:4; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:24; Revelation 6:16
We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, His death to pay the penalty for everyone’s sins, His bodily resurrection, His exaltation at God’s right hand, and His personal, imminent, pretribulational and premillennial return.

END TIMES
Matthew 7:23; 25:41; 1 Corinthians 15:42-58; Revelation 20:5, 6
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in Glory and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in hell.
CHRISTIAN LIFE
2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 7:1ff
We believe that all believers are called to a life of separation from all worldly and sinful practices and alliances.
MARRIAGE
We believe that from the beginning with Adam and Eve, God ordained marriage as only between one man and one woman. All sexual activity outside of this biblical definition of marriage, including homosexual practices, is in direct contradiction to God’s Word and His intention for the institution of the home.

GENDER
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female for His glory. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God, and the rejection of one’s biological gender is a rejection of God’s decreed will and good plan for humanity and the individual.
