We believe in and affirm the existence of the one and only Triune God of the Bible, who created all things and who is Sovereign over all His creation.

We believe and affirm the absolute authority of the Bible as God's infallible, inerrant communication of truth to man.  As such it is man's rule of faith and practice.

We believe and affirm that man, alone among all life forms, was made in the image of his Creator and was given the unique capacity to enjoy the rich blessings of fellowship with God.  But man has turned away from the revealed will of God, intended to secure such blessedness, and has chosen instead a self‑willed way of life.  As a result of this disobedience, which is sin, all mankind exists in a fallen state of estrangement from God and lives in a world corrupted and discordant.  Out of His everlasting love, God acted to redeem man by sending Jesus Christ, His only Son, to remove the guilt and punishment attendant upon sin.  Jesus accomplished this salvation by His death on the Cross in man's stead, bearing man's sin, and by His resurrection from the dead through the power of God.  In these events He was made both Savior and Lord.  The gospel, the good news about Jesus' work, is the powerful and only means of bringing the grace of God to men.  As a man responds to the call of the gospel in repentance and trusting, obedient faith he personally accepts and appropriates the free gift of salvation, receiving forgiveness, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and fellowship with God.  His charge thereafter is, by faith and in compliance with the teachings of Holy Scripture, to surrender his will to God daily in holy living, service, and worship, and so to glorify Him.

We believe and affirm that, inasmuch as every person bears the likeness of God, all human life is sacred and inviolable.  Any attempt to measure the worth of a human being by using standards such as "meaningful life," physical or mental health, socioeconomic usefulness or productivity, or desirability to others offends against the intrinsic, supreme value of a man conferred by God.  Since the Scriptures portray life as one continuum beginning at conception, an individual is entitled to the respect and protection of his life before birth as well as afterwards.  The intentional termination of innocent human life at any stage is an act for which those responsible must answer to God.

We believe and affirm the right and duty of every Christian to stand for biblical truth and morality in this world and to seek the well being of all persons.
