• The Scriptures: The Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and our final authority in all matters of faith.

• The True God: There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• The Fall of Man: Humanity was created holy but fell through sin, becoming spiritually lost and in need of a Savior.

• The Way of Salvation: Salvation is a free gift of grace through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

• Justification: Believers are made righteous before God solely through faith in Christ and the pardon of sin.

• Regeneration: To be saved, a person must be "born again" by the Holy Spirit, receiving a new heart and spiritual life.

• Repentance & Faith: Salvation requires a sincere turning from sin (repentance) and a total trust in Jesus (faith).

• Sanctification: The lifelong process of growing in holiness and becoming more like Christ through the Spirit.

• Perseverance: All true believers will endure to the end, kept by the power of God through faith.

• The Gospel Church: A local body of baptized believers joined by covenant to spread the Gospel and observe Christ's ordinances.

• Baptism & The Lord’s Supper: Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial of Christ’s sacrifice.

• The World to Come: Christ will return to judge the living and the dead, ushering the righteous into eternal joy and the wicked into eternal punishment.

• Believer’s Baptism: We believe in baptism by complete immersion in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a public declaration of a believer’s faith, symbolizing the death and burial of the "old self" and the resurrection to walk in a new life with Christ.

• The Lord’s Supper: Also known as Communion, this is a memorial act where the church partakes of the bread (representing Christ’s body) and the fruit of the vine (representing His blood). It is a solemn time of self-examination and remembrance of His sacrifice on the cross until He returns.

CHURCH COVENANT

• Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. We do now, in the presence of God and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into this covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.

• We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love, to strive for the advancement of this church, in knowledge, holiness, and comfort. To promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its ordinances, discipline, and doctrine; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.

• We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions, to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportments. To avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of destructive drugs or intoxicating drinks as a beverage; to shun pornography; to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior.

• We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love, to remember each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech, to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Savior, to secure it without delay.

• We moreover engage that when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible unite with some other church, where we can carry out the Spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s word.
