1. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
2. We believe that there is one true God eternally existing in the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
3. We believe that God created mankind as two distinct sexes: male and female. And that each person affirms God’s infinite wisdom by living in alignment with their birth sex (Genesis 1:26-28; Matthew 19:4-5).
​4. We believe that all humans were born in to sin and in need of salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9).
​5. We believe that marriage is ordained by God at creation as a sacred union between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Hebrews 13:4). It is a representation of Christ’s relationship to His church (Ephesians 5:22-33).
​6. We believe that children are a blessing from the Lord, thus all human life is sacred and worthy of protection from the moment of conception (Psalm 127:3-5, Psalm 139:13-16).
7. We believe that believers should be part of a church to fellowship, worship, serve, and hold each other accountable (1 Corinthians 12:12; Psalm 100; 1 Peter 4:10-11; Galatians 6:1-2).
8. We believe in and administer two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism occurs through immersion in water and profession of faith (Acts 2:38) and the Lord’s Supper (communion) exemplifies a believer’s relationship with God (Luke 22:19-20; John 6:53-54).
​9. We believe that Jesus will return to Earth to judge all people (Matthew 25:31-46)
