We joyfully stand alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ throughout the ages in affirming the foundational statements of the Christian faith in the Nicene (325) and Apostles (341) Creeds. We also affirm other statements, including the Westminster Confession of Faith (1646), the New Hampshire Confession (1833), and the Baptist Faith and Message (2000), as helpful summaries of Christian belief. 

We believe that there is only one living and true God. He is the eternal, infinite Creator and supreme Ruler of heaven and earth. He is merciful, just, and loving and governs all things according to His sovereign will for His glory. He alone is inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and is worthy of all honor, confidence, obedience, and love.

We believe that the one true God eternally exists as three distinct persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; each is fully God and equally possesses all the perfections of deity while executing their distinct and harmonious roles in the great work of redemption.

We believe that the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, was authored by God through divine inspiration of chosen men. We affirm that the Bible is totally sufficient and trustworthy and is the final authority for all matters of life and doctrine. 

We believe that God created people in His own image and that God created people male and female as the crowning jewel of His creation. Gender is both a wonderful gift and an unchangeable part of God’s design, and it does not exist apart from the God-appointed link with biological sex.

We believe that all are sinners, both inheriting the condemnation of our first parents and voluntarily rebelling against the one true God. Apart from God’s grace, we are unable to turn to God and are under just condemnation to eternal punishment in hell, without defense or excuse.

We believe that the salvation of sinners is only by the grace of God through the work of Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, who is the mediator of a New Covenant between God and humanity, the promised Messiah and Savior of the world. 

We believe that salvation is made free to all who believe in Christ, and that it is the duty of all to receive Him by faith. We believe that the power of the Gospel is sufficient to save even the greatest sinner and that all people everywhere are commanded to repent and believe upon Jesus. 

We believe that the church is the communion of God’s people drawn from every tribe, language, and people throughout all the ages. This body of believers is made visible in local churches marked by the faithful preaching of God’s word and faithful administration of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

We believe that God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of society. God Himself has established marriage as the uniting of one man and one woman in an exclusive covenant commitment for a lifetime.

We believe that God has established marriage as His intended channel for human sexual expression and procreation, and that God calls all unmarried people to celibacy and to devotion to Himself. Departures from God’s good design for human sexuality, including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, and other forms of sexual immorality, are sinful.

We believe that children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing from the Lord. Parents are to patiently lead their children in the ways of Christ based on biblical truth. Children are to honor and obey their parents for the glory of God and their good.

We believe that civil government is divinely appointed by God and is responsible before Him for executing justice and promoting the good order of society, and that officials are to be prayed for and given the honor owed them.

We believe that the end of the world is approaching quickly. On that last day Christ will bring all people to final judgment. At that time, there will be a solemn separation during which the wicked will be judged and sentenced to endless punishment, and the righteous in Christ rewarded with endless joy.
