We believe and teach the basic truths of historic Christianity:
- That mankind is God's creation; that the human race was created good and holy, but rebelled against God; that we are all sinful by nature and helpless to save ourselves.
- That Jesus Christ is the true Son of God; that he came into the world, born as true man; that as the substitute for all sinners he lived and died, then rose from death in victory.
- That because of Christ's suffering and death in our place, God has forgiven our sins and given us the gift of eternal life.
- That we receive forgiveness only through faith in Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of all sinners.
- That the Holy Spirit, by means of the gospel (the good news about Christ), creates saving faith in us and leads us to a life of God-pleasing good works, done out of joyful gratitude to God, in love for God and our neighbor.
- That the Bible, in every part and word, is the inspired Word of God, without any error; that it is the complete and only revelation of God's saving truth to mankind, and therefore is our only standard of what to believe and how to live.
