Fundamental Beliefs:

Holy Scripture:
The Bible, consisting of 66 book in full, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament is God’s written word. It is the only sufficient and authoritative rule for saving faith, Christian living, and obedience unto God. The Bible is verbally and plenarily God breathed and inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Bible as a whole was written by men and providentially and by God’s sovereign decree is perfect and inerrant. It is thus, wholly faithful and accurate, and absolutely essential for testifying of Christ Jesus who is the focus of God’s revelation.

Trinity:
The Doctrine of the Triune God is often misunderstood and miscommunicated within the Christian faith. The Lord our God is the one and only living and true God. His substance is in and of himself, he is infinite in being and perfection. His essence cannot be understood by any but himself. He is an absolutely pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts or passions. He is a personal and an intelligent Being, the Author, Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation seen and unseen. God has revealed Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with distinct personal attributes, yet existing without division of being, nature, and essence. This doctrine of the Trinity is the foundation of all our fellowship with God, and of the comfort of our dependence on him.

The Person of Jesus:
We believe in the virgin birth, Deity, sinless life, miraculous work, atonement, and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Jesus is God in human flesh. He was born of a virgin named Mary; He lived a sinless life. Jesus physically died on a Roman cross having become accursed and having the wrath of God poured out upon Him for our sins. He was rejected by men, abandoned by His closest friends, and died and was buried in a borrowed tomb. On the third day He physically rose from the grave. He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father in power.

The Nature of Man:
Mankind in Adam is fallen, spiritually dead in sin, bound for hell and incapable of saving himself by any means. Furthermore, man, in his natural fallen state wills or chooses to fulfill the desires of the flesh, and will not at any time in this state of spiritual death choose to follow God. Man apart from God is enslaved to sin, death, and the Devil. Apart from God's gracious and effectual call in Christ Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, man is hopeless and destined to hell.

The Nature of Grace and Election:
Salvation of fallen man is solely by grace through God's gift of faith in Christ. God has sovereignly decreed from before creation, to choose by His free and gracious favor to elect unto salvation a particular people for Himself.

Spiritual unity of God's elect
"In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity."
Peter Meiderlin / Rupertus Meldenius, 17th century Lutheran pastor (often wrongly attributed to Augustine)
