Below is our Statement of Faith as taken from our church's constitution [Scripture references added]. It summarizes the core beliefs to which we hold regarding Scripture, God, humanity, & salvation.

1. We believe in the inspiration and infallibility of the Bible: that every word and every part is inspired by God, that it is inerrant in the original writings, and of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
   2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21; 3:15-16, Luke 24:27
    
2. We believe in the Triune God, revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God eternally existing in three persons.

3. We believe in Jesus Christ, begotten of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary, true God and true man, inseparably joined in one person, forever.
   Luke 1:34-35, John 1:1-2; 14; 20:28
    
4. We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, who permanently indwells all true believers and is the source and power of all acceptable worship and service.

6. We believe in the total depravity of man, who by nature and choice is both sinful and lost and has thereby incurred for himself not only physical death but spiritual death, which is separation from God.
