The Bible is the inspired and authoritative record of who God is, His actions throughout history, and His instructions for life. Written by human authors guided by the Holy Spirit, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are entirely trustworthy, without error in their original writings, and remain the primary means by which God speaks today.
(Deut 4:1-2, 17:19; Ps 19:7-10; Prov 30:5; 2 Tim 3:15-17; Heb 4:12; 2 Pet 1:19-21)

There is one true and living God who created all things and rightfully rules over everything. He eternally exists as three distinct yet unified persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity is fully God and co-equal in divinity, existing eternally in perfect unity.
(Gen 1:1-2; Deut 6:4; Ps 24:1; Matt 3:16-17, 28:19; John 1:1-3; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Cor 2:10-11)

All humans are created uniquely in God's image, holding inherent worth from the moment of conception. Humanity is designed to know and delight in God, responsibly steward His creation, and live in alignment with His purposes, values, and instructions.
(Gen 1:26-27; Deut 10:12-13; Ps 16:11, 139:13; Is 43:7; Mic 6:8; John 17:3)

Humans are created for eternal existence. Those reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ will experience His unmerited grace and dwell eternally with Him in heaven. Those who remain separated from God by sin at death will face His righteous judgment and be eternally separated from Him in hell.
(Job 19:25-27; Is 25:8; Dan 12:2; Matt 25:46; 1 Thess 4:13-18; 2 Thess 1:7-12; 1 John 2:25; Rev 21-22)

Salvation is the gracious gift of God available to sinners through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Recognizing our inability to save ourselves, Jesus lived a sinless life on our behalf, died as our substitute, and rose again, offering eternal life. Salvation is personally received by repenting from sin and trusting fully in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Those genuinely saved are assured of their eternal security because God's grace not only saves but continually transforms and sustains them.
(John 1:12, 3:16, 10:28-29; Acts 3:19; Rom 3:10-12, 8:1, 28-39; 1 Cor 15:1-3, 9-10; 2 Cor 5:18-21; Eph 2:1-10; Col 2:13-14; Titus 2:11-12; 1 Pet 1:3; Jude 24)

Sin is humanity’s most significant problem, damaging our relationship with God. Following Adam and Eve’s initial rebellion, all people inherit a sinful nature, willingly choosing disobedience against God. This sin separates humanity from God, leads to His just judgment, and causes widespread brokenness in our lives and world.
(Gen 3; Ps 51:5; Is 59:2; Matt 12:36; Rom 3:10-23, 5:12-21, 8:20-22; Eph 2:1-3; Heb 9:27)

Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, entered human history, fully God and fully man. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, He lived perfectly, died sacrificially, and rose bodily from the dead, achieving salvation for humanity. Jesus ascended into heaven and will visibly return to establish His eternal reign.
(Matt 1:18-23, 28:6; John 1:1-2, 14; Acts 1:9-11; Rom 4:25; Phil 2:6-7; Col 2:9; Heb 1:1-3; Rev 19-22)

The Holy Spirit is fully divine, co-equal with the Father and Son, dwelling within every believer from the moment they receive salvation. He draws people toward Jesus, empowers believers for godly living and service, and provides spiritual gifts that must be practiced according to biblical instruction and with love. Believers are encouraged to seek continual filling and guidance by the Spirit.
(Ezek 36:26-27; Matt 28:19; John 15:26; Acts 1:8; 1 Cor 3:16; 12-14; Gal 5:22-23; Eph 5:18; Titus 3:5)

The Church is the collective community of believers in Christ throughout all ages, set apart for God's purposes. As the body and bride of Christ, the Church has a unique relationship with God and a specific mission—the Great Commission. Believers are expected to actively engage with a local church, which is a visible expression of the global community of faith.
(Matt 28:19-20; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Cor 1:2, 12:12-13; Eph 4:11-16, 5:25-27; 1 Pet 2:9; Heb 10:24-25; Rev 4)

God intentionally created humanity as distinctly male and female, establishing gender, marriage, and sexuality as foundational aspects of His creation design. Marriage, a sacred and lifelong union exclusively between one biological man and one biological woman, reflects God's relationship with His people. Sexual intimacy is a God-given gift reserved solely within marriage; therefore, any sexual activity outside heterosexual marriage falls short of His design and is considered sinful.
(Gen 1:26-28, 2:18-24, 5:2; Deut 22:5; Mal 2:13-16; Matt 19:4-9; Rom 1:26-27; 1 Cor 6:9-11, 18; Eph 5:21-33)

Baptism and communion are physical symbols given by God to illustrate and reinforce spiritual realities. Baptism by immersion is a believer’s public testimony of personal faith and commitment to Christ. Communion, observed regularly by believers, commemorates Christ's sacrifice, strengthening faith and deepening fellowship among Christians.
(Matt 3:13-17, 26:26-30; Acts 2:38-42, 16:30-33; Rom 6:3-5; 1 Cor 10:16, 11:23-30; Col 2:12)

God will sovereignly conclude history according to His perfect timing and divine purpose. We hold to a premillennial view of eschatology, believing that Jesus will personally and visibly return prior to establishing a literal thousand-year reign on earth. At His return, He will raise the dead and bring final judgment, rewarding individuals with either eternal blessing or eternal punishment based on their response of faith to Him during their earthly lives. While various perspectives exist regarding the precise details of these future events, our priority is not to debate endlessly or speculate excessively. Rather, the certainty of Christ’s return should motivate believers toward faithful living, fill us with confident hope and joyful anticipation of eternity with Christ, and compel us with urgency to share the gospel, knowing that for unbelievers Christ's return means eternal separation from God in unending sorrow.
(Matt 16:27, 24:1-51; Mark 13:10; Luke 14:12-24; 2 Cor 5:10; 1 Thess 4:13-5:11; 2 Thess 1:7-12; Heb 9:26-28; 2 Peter 3:7-18; Rev 20-22)
