Doctrinal Statement
I. Scripture: The Holy Bible alone is God’s inspired word; it does not err or lie; and it binds our beliefs and practices.
II. God: There is one true God, revealed in the Scripture as infinite, eternal, and unchangeable; all-wise; all-powerful; all-present; just; holy; loving; and faithful. He is the Creator and Ruler of all things, and all things exist solely for His glory.
III. Christ: God the Son became man: Jesus Christ. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He lived a sinless and holy life and died as a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice (due to us for sin), rose bodily from the dead, and ascended bodily into heaven. He will come again, visibly, in power and glory, to judge the world. He therefore was and continues to be God and man, one person in two distinct natures, forever.
IV. Faith: For the salvation of sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. The Holy Spirit is the author of Christian faith in a person’s heart. The one who has this faith accepts the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation, repents of his sins, and rests upon Christ’s holy life and sacrificial death as the sole ground of acceptance with God. Whoever does not have this faith in Christ will suffer God’s wrath; no one can go to heaven without this faith.
V. The Christian Life: All those who have put their trust in Jesus Christ for salvation will seek to please Him with the way they live, by keeping His commandments and worshiping with His people. Someone who has no desire to be holy has not been born again.
VI. Christian Unity: All those who have sincerely trusted Christ for salvation are members of the body of Christ and enjoy spiritual unity with one another in Christ.
We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image from the moment of conception as Scripture and science affirm. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect and value all human life. (Psalm 139)

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other.

Married women seeking contraceptive information are urged to seek counsel from their pastor and physician.
