Scripture:   We believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the infallible rule of faith and practice, the authoritative guide for Christian living.

Salvation:   We believe that God's mighty act of reconciling love was accomplished in Jesus Christ, God the Son who became flesh to be the means by which the sins of the world are forgiven. Salvation is freely offered to all.

Baptism:   We believe that water baptism symbolizes the work of the Holy Spirit and is the external sign that marks forgiveness of sins and membership in the community of faith. We practice pouring as our mode, but acknowledge any mode of baptism. One does not need to be baptized again when joining our church.

The Lord's Supper:  We believe this sacrament is a means by which the church remembers Christ's suffering and death on the cross. It is also a means of spiritual nourishment and growth, an act of grateful obedience to Christ, and a commitment to the work and service of Christ's church. We have open communion and invite to the Lord's table all Christians regardless of denominational affiliation.

Predestination:    We believe that God gives people the capacity and freedom to respond to divine grace in loving obedience. Therefore, whoever will, shall be saved.

Providence:  God exercises providential care over all creatures, peoples, nations, and things. The manner in which this care is provided is revealed in the scripture. God's providence is sufficiently displayed to be known and experienced, but, at the same time, it partakes of divine mystery, and is the occasion for wonder, praise, and thanksgiving. Thus even in illness, pain, sorrow, tragedy, social upheaval, or natural disaster, persons may be sure of God's presence and discover his grace to be sufficient.

Marriage: Marriage is between a man and a woman for the mutual benefit of each, their children, and society. While marriage is subject to the appropriate civil law, it is primarily a covenant relationship under God. As such, it symbolizes the relationship of Jesus Christ and the church, and is that human relationship in which love and trust are best known.

Divorce: When human weakness and sin threaten a marriage relationship, the covenant community has responsibility to uphold the sanctity of marriage and to help partners strengthen their relationship. If a marriage is dissolved by divorce, the covenant community is responsible to minister to the victims, including any children of the marriage, and to counsel divorced persons who are considering remarriage.
