In the essential beliefs, we strive for unity. “There is one Body and one Spirit… there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of us all…” Ephesians 4:4-6

We strive for liberty. “Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters… Who are you to judge… Each of us will give an account of himself to God… So whatever you believe about these things, keep between yourself and God.” Romans 14:1, 4, 12, 22

We strive for charity. “If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge, but also the very secrets of God, and if I have the faith that can move mountains – but have no love, I amount to nothing at all.” 1 Corinthians 13:2

Did you know one could be positionally right, but dispositionally wrong? Even though one might be correct about doctrine, he/she could still have an inappropriate attitude toward others. However, when believers dwell in unity, there is a place of commanded blessing. “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!…For there the Lord bestows His blessing, even life forevermore.” Psalm 133:1, 3b

The Bible is the divine revelation of God to mankind, our fixed source of authority for faith and conduct, without error and endurable for all generations and cultures.

2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:21, & Psalm 119:160

God is eternal, having always existed outside of time and space and a single Being consisting of three Persons – Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1:1 & 26-27, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19, & Luke 3:22

Jesus is the eternal Son of God, without sin, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, one who ultimately restores mankind from sin, and raised from the dead and seated with the Heavenly Father.

Revelation 1:8, Matthew 1:23, 8:16-17, & 28:6, Luke 1:31, 1:35, & 24:39, Hebrews 1:3 & 7:26, 1 Peter 2:22, Acts 2:22, 1 Corinthians 6:14 & 15:3-4, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Isaiah 53:4-5, James 5:14-16, Acts 1:9, 1:11 & 2:33, & Philippians 2:9-11

The Holy Spirit is active today to make people aware of their need of Jesus as well as to empower believers to live the Christian life more victoriously.

John 16:7-13 & 14:16-17; Acts 1:8 & 10:44-46; Ephesians 1:13; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; Romans 8:16; Luke 24:49; Acts 8:12-17 & 19:1-7; & 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

People are made in the spiritual image of God, fallen from innocence due to a willful choice to do wrong, destined for eternal separation from God, provided an opportunity to be reconciled to God through Christ and invited to accept Christ, repent of sin, and get a fresh start.

Genesis 1:26-30, 3:6-24, Romans 3:23, 5:1, 5:12-19, 6:1-11, 6:23, 8:38-39, & 12:1-2, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:3 & 3:16; Acts 20:21, 1 John 1:9, Titus 2:11-13 & 3:5-6, John 10:29 & 15:6, 2 Timothy 1:12, 1 Peter 1:3-5 & 1:16, Hebrews 12:14 & 13:12 Revelation 22:19, Luke 8:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Galatians 2:20, & Philippians 2:12-13

The Church is the body of Christ that consists of all Christians on a three-fold mission to encounter Jesus, encourage each other, and engage the world and respectful of two ordinances – water baptism and The Lord’s Table (Holy Communion).

Ephesians 4:16, Galatians 3:28-29, 1 Peter 2:9, 1 Corinthians 11:26 & 12:13, Ephesians 4:11-11-13, Matthew 22:37-38 & 28:19-20; Acts 10:47-48, Romans 6:4, & 2 Peter 1:4

The future is hopeful for those ready for the imminent return of Christ and bright for the Christian because of eternal life with God.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Revelation 20:11-15, 21:1-7, 22:5 & 22:12-13, Romans 8:23, Titus 2:13, 2 Peter 3:13, John 14:2-3, Mark 9:43-48, & Matthew 25:46
