1. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, written by men who were inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT and its teaching and authority is absolute and supreme.

2. We believe in one God Who is the Creator and the Sovereign Ruler of the universe, Who exists in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that He is an infinite God of holiness and righteousness, as well as love and grace.

3. We believe in the deity and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ, the only Son of God. Other significant events in His life and ministry are well documented by the Scriptures such as, His substitutionary death; His bodily resurrection; His post-resurrection appearance; His ascension to heaven, where He is again in great power and glory.

4. We believe that salvation is by faith in Christ alone, without works, and solely by the grace of God. Christ took upon Himself our sins and by His death on the cross paid the penalty for us, once and for all. The power of the blood of Christ will cleanse sin from everyone who comes to God by Him.

5. We believe in the church as the body of Christ with Him as the head and authority and all who believe in Him as members of His body.

6. We believe that every believer in Jesus Christ has been gifted by the Holy Spirit. These gifted believers are to be equipped in order to benefit and build-up the entire body of Christ.

7. We believe in the eternal security on the believer based upon the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary.

8. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the eternal glorified state of Believers and the eternal punishment on the lake of fire of all who reject Christ.

9. We believe in the reality of Satan, called the devil, who is the Father of lies and goes forth to deceive the world.

10. We believe that the Great Commission requires that we preach the gospel to all the world, and that we baptize those who believe, establish Churches constituted on individuals who are born again, and teach them to be obedient to all the counsels of God. We believe that this can be accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit.

11. We believe the other great distinctive Biblical doctrines historically held by the Baptists, such as the freedom of the church to spread the Gospel, the priesthood of all believers, the purity of church, the self-governing of the local church under the sovereign headship of Christ, baptism by immersion of believers in water and the symbolism of the ordinances which are baptism and the Lord's Supper.
