• We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
• We believe in the "blessed hope," — the personal return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
• We believe that all who receive by repentance and faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and become children of God.
• We believe Christians at the moment of salvation are filled with the Holy Spirit who abides in each believer.
