Salvation:

We believe that even though men and women cannot receive salvation by good works, their good works are evidence of true faith in God and Jesus as Lord and are thus pleasing to God. Salvation is a free gift bestowed by God's grace, received by faith, and secured by Christ alone.
(Ephesians 2:8-10, John 10:27-20, Matthew 5:16, Matthew 7:16-20)

Baptism:

We believe immersion in water of a professed believer is a Bible baptism. Such baptism is symbolic of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
(Romans 6:1-4)

Discipleship:

Simply put we believe discipleship is important because that is the model that Jesus gave us to follow.
Matthew 4:19  “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
A disciple is one who is committed to: following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, being on mission with Jesus.

The Church:

We believe the purpose of the church on earth is to fulfill the last command of Jesus Christ – "Then Jesus came to them and said ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’" We believe the local church is governed by godly men known as elders or bishops and is the bride and body of Christ.
(Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 5:25-33,1 Corinthians 12, Titus 1:5)

ABIDING IN CHRIST:

Fruitful Relationship with Jesus

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

Commitment to Prayer and Worship

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 23:12-13

Knowing and obeying God’s Word

“If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.” John 15:10

LOVING RELATIONSHIPS:

In the Home

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Philippians 2:3

In the Church

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25

In the Community

“As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.” John 17:18

UNITY:

Humility

Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 1 Peter 3:8

Fight for Relationship

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, Ephesians 4:15

Church/Academy Partnership

I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 1 Corinthians 1:10

INTEGRITY:

Authenticity

Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present. 2 Corinthians 10:11

Modeling

Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, Titus 2:7

Above Reproach

to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Timothy 6:14
