Vision Statement
	To accomplish the mission of making disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ for the glory of God by: introducing people to Jesus Christ; incorporating them into the worshipping fellowship of the church; nurturing them in the Word of God; and equipping them for personal ministry with others.

Section 1: The Nature of God
	We believe that God is one in essence, but that he subsists in three distinct and equal persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--and that these three have precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections (Matt. 28: 18-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:1, 14; Acts 5:3-4; II Cor. 3:18, 12: 14; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 1:4-6).

Section 2: The Scriptures

We believe in the Bible as God's unique authoritative revelation to man. We believe that the Scriptures are inspired and that both inspiration and inerrancy extend to every part of the writings as they came from God. We believe that the Bible is to be interpreted according to the normal laws of human language, and that the Scriptures are the sole necessary standard for faith and life (Mark 12:26, 36, 13:11; Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:39; Acts 1:16, 17:2-3, 18:28, 26:22-23; Rom 15:4; I Cor. 2:13, 10:11; II Tim. 3:16-17; II Pet. 1:21, 3:16).

Section 3: Creation
	We believe in God as absolute and sole Creator of the universe and that creation was by divine fiat, not by evolutionary process (Gen. 1:1-2:3; Ps. 104; Heb. 11:1-3).

Section 4: Man's Dignity and Need

We believe that man was created by God in His Image to enjoy His fellowship; that by man's own choice, he decided to rebel against his Creator; that every man since that time has been born with a propensity to sin; that man's personal sins cause him to have need of justification and redemption; and that sin is universal and without excuse (Gen. 1:26, 2:17, 6:5; Ps. 14:1-3, 51:5; Jer. 17:9; John 3:6, 5:40, 6:53; Rom. 1:18-23, 3:10-19; 8:6-7; Eph. 2:1-3; I Tim. 5:6; I John 3:8).

Section 5: Salvation

We believe that God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Christ into the world to save sinners. We believe that man is justified before God simply by placing his personal trust in Christ, and that he is eternally secure in grace from that moment on. However, sin may interrupt the joy of man's fellowship with God and may bring the loving discipline of his heavenly Father. We believe that there is no way of salvation other than through Christ (Lev. 17:11; Isa. 64:6; Matt. 26:28; John 1:12, 3:17-18, 36, 5:24, 6:29; Acts 13:39, 16:31; Rom 1:16-17, 3:22, 26, 4:5, 5:6-9, 10:4; II Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13, 22, 6:15; Eph. 1:7; Phil. 3:4-9; Tit.. 3:5; Jas. 1:18; I Pet. 1:18-19, 23).

Section 6: Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is both God and man; that His death paid a sufficient price to redeem any man who would believe in Him as personal Savior; we believe further in His eternal pre-existence, His incarnation, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the grave, His personal, visible, imminent, premillennial return from heaven (John 1:29, 20:28; Rom. 3:25-26; II Cor. 5:14; Phil. 3:20; Heb. 10:5-14; I Pet. 3:18).

Section 7: Rewards

We believe that Christians will be judged by Christ for the purpose of distributing rewards, which are gained or lost by the believer's conduct subsequent to conversion. We believe that God supplies not only forgiveness of sins, but power to live the Christian life as well by giving us the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer (Rom. 6:11-13, 8:2, 4, 12-13, 12:6; I Cor. 3:9-15, 9:18-27; II Cor. 5:10; Gal. 5:16-23; Eph. 4:11, 22-24; Col. 2:1-10; I Pet. 1:14-16; I John 1:4-7, 3:5-9).

Section 8: The Church
	We believe that the church is the spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and that there is a twofold aspect to the church, the universal and the local (Matt. 16:16-18; Acts 2:42-47; Rom. 12:5; I Cor 12:12-27; Eph 1:20-23, 4:3-10; Col. 3:14-15).
