The Bible - The Written Word of God
The Bible was written by men under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is for all people, in every situation. It contains no error. God's words were relevant then, are still relevant today, and will be forever.
Matthew 28:18-19, Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 1:35, John 5:21-23, John 14:10, John 14:16-17, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Hebrews 1:8-10, James 2:19, 1 John 1:1-5
Man - Made To Be Like God
Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

Marriage - God's Covenant Design
Marriage is God’s idea. He designed it so that we might understand and express His love and our likeness to Him in real ways, every day. God established the marriage covenant between one man and one woman. This blueprint for marriage is clearly stated in Scripture; therefore, we as a church are committed to upholding God’s original design for the marriage covenant relationship.
Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:24, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8, Hebrews 13:4
Jesus - God Sent a Savior
Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God's demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we could have life.
Matthew 1:18-23, Matthew 3:17, Matthew 14:33, Matthew 28:5-6, Luke 24:46-47, John 1:14, John 3:16, John 10:30, John 11:25-27, John 17:1-5, Acts 2:22-24, Romans 1:3-4, Romans 3:23-26, 1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians 15:3, Galatians 4:4-5, Philippians 2:5-11, Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 2:5-6, 1 Peter 2:23-24
Salvation - The Only Way
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation is only possible through the belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Salvation cannot be earned or obtained through the church, church membership, sacraments, or good works. It is freely given because Jesus has already paid for our redemption. Those who put their trust in Jesus and set Him in command of their lives are forgiven and made new.

Water Baptism - Be Fully Immersed
Jesus is our example in all things. He was baptized by being fully immersed in water. Following in His example is our way to show the world that we have decided to identify ourselves with the redemption Jesus purchased for us. We are symbolically buried and raised with Him in faith.
Matthew 3:13-17, Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:41, Acts 8:36-39, Acts 10:48, Acts 16:30-33, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3-4, 1 Corinthians 6:11, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12, Hebrews 6:1-2
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit - You will receive power
As a Christian, the Holy Spirit is always in us to guide us, comfort us, empower us, and teach us to act more like Jesus. The presence and baptism of the Holy Spirit are gifts from the Father, available to all believers. The confirmation of receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is received subsequent to salvation, is speaking in other tongues.

Healing - God Wants You Well
Healing is a privilege for every believer. God wants each of us to live healthy and whole lives so that we can live for Him and help others more effectively.

The Church - We're in It Together
The Church—the Body of Christ—is not a building. It is a gathering of local believers. The Church is also the whole of all believers working together to fulfill God's purpose of reaching all people with the Gospel. We are to work together to help each other in love and unity.
Ephesians 5:25-27, Matthew 18:15-20, Acts 2:42-27, Acts 13:1-3, Acts 20:28, 1 Corinthians 7:17, 1 Corinthians 9:13-14, Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:19-22, Colossians 1:18, Colossians 3:15, 1 Peter 5:1-4
Eternity - Somewhere Forever
We will exist forever after this life. Those in union with God through salvation will remain with Him in Heaven. Those separated from God by sin will remain apart from Him in Hell. Heaven and Hell are real places that exist without end.

Jesus Will Return - It's Not Over
Jesus is coming back for His Church as He promised. He will return to the earth one day to reward those who have faithfully followed Him and obeyed His commands.
