Here is a brief summary of our convictions:

1. The Bible is God's Word to guide people to faith in Him and the life He wants for us.
   
2. God is One, existing forever in three equal Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
   
3. God the Son, Jesus Christ, entered the human race being born of a virgin. He lived a perfect life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for the sin of mankind. He rose from the dead and is now on His throne in heaven.
   
4. God the Holy Spirit is active in applying God's good gifts of spiritual truth and life to people who genuinely believe in Jesus Christ.
   
5. All people are sinners, unable to meet God's perfect standards even by the best we can do.
   
6. The work of Jesus Christ in bearing the full penalty of people's sin is the only basis for our forgiveness and is offered by God as a free gift to any who will really accept it. One way the Bible describes such believers is that we are "born again."
   
7. Jesus Christ promised, "I will build My church." The church is a worldwide family of believers growing since the Day of Pentecost. We are to gather in local groups to worship the Lord, fellowship with one another, pray, learn God's truth, and serve Him.
   
8. Jesus Christ will fulfill His promise to return to take His people home to be with Him forever.
   
9. The Bible warns unbelievers of judgment ahead, urging all to receive God's gift of forgiveness and life while there is time.
