What We Believe
 The whole Bible is our creed. Therefore, any effort to define what we believe necessitates a desire to emphasize the whole Word of God as the source of our core beliefs.
Furthermore, it seems unwise to be owned by the labels of much of Christendom, whether it’s Fundamental, Pentecostal, Calvinism, Armenianism, Charismatic, Dispensational, Reformed, etc.
It’s unrealistic to think that any individual, man-made system of beliefs is completely error free or, conversely, without merit at all. It is therefore our sincere desire to seek to teach the Bible; be true to its original languages; and be respectful to the historical context, the context of each passage, and the accepted and normal use of language (i.e. being able to discern the difference between a parable and a proverb, a prophecy and an historical account, etc.). We trust that this will enable us to understand the intended meaning and truth that is to be found in God’s inspired word.
Our nonnegotiable, core beliefs which transcend labels are:
We believe in the inspiration of the Bible; in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; in the virgin birth of Christ. We believe in Jesus Christ’s blood atonement which provides forgiveness from sin and delivers us from the judgement for sin that awaits all mankind. We believe in His bodily resurrection and second return to establish His Kingdom upon the earth, followed by the millennial reign of Christ after which He will create a new heaven and a new earth.
