This is a brief statement of faith...

The Bible is the infallible Word of God ( 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21 )
We believe in a Sovereign God who rules over all things and saves His people by Hisgrace ( Deut.4:39 )
The Holy Trinity ( Matt. 1:18-25; Isaiah 7:14 )
The Atonement of Christ for our sins ( 1 Peter 1:18,19; Isaiah 53:5 )
Salvation by grace through faith alone ( Eph.2:8-9 )
The Bodily Resurrection of Christ from the dead ( Luke24:36-44 )
A literal Heaven for the saved ( John14:2-3 )
A literal Hell for the lost ( Rev.20:14-15 )
Evangelism ( Acts 5:42; Romans 10:11-15 )
Separation from worldliness and apostasy ( John 2:15,16; Gal. 1:9; 2 Cor. 6:14-18 )
The literal second coming of Christ to earth ( Acts 1:11; 1 Thes. 5:23; Rev. 22:20 )
The Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper ( Matt. 28:19; 1 Cor. 11:23-30 )
