We adhere to the Bible as our standard for living and stand on guard against harmful traditions, legalistic practices and hypocritical lifestyle choices that stifle relationships and weaken the church. Our commitment is to love the Lord, our God, with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength first and then to love other people as we love ourselves. We strive to obey the Bible completely: not adding to it and not taking away from it and accepting others whose faith is weak without compromising the truth of Scripture.
We adhere to the following standards of doctrine:
- The Holy Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God. Therefore, it is our authoritative guide for living, our source of all truth and our textbook for teaching. The Bible is flawless!
- There is only one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We will only worship and serve the Father, through Jesus Christ, in the Spirit.
- A Christian is a person who has received the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of the one true church. A Christian has trusted God and submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and lives obediently according to God's Word; for if you love Jesus, you will obey His commands such as the command to be baptized by immersion.
- Such Christian believers will be resurrected unto the resurrection of eternal life with Jesus. However, those who reject Jesus Christ will be resurrected unto eternal damnation that they choose to bring upon themselves, forever separated from Jesus.
- Faith without works is dead! Every Christian believer is saved to serve in the work of the ministry for building up the body of Christ!
