The written Word of God is infallible and without errors. It is to be interpreted with a normal hermeneutic where the mind of the author (not the interpreter) controls the intended meaning. The Bible is our primary authority and is binding whenever we share the essential elements of the original audience. We regard the following to be central truths of Scripture:  

1. The gift of everlasting life is given to all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. By His death for our sins and His resurrection, He has become mankind's only Savior. We often refer to this as "salvation by faith alone in Christ alone."

2. The believer has the desire to serve God, but not the ability. He/she must depend upon the indwelling Holy Spirit in order to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

3. Our Savior could return for His church at any moment and we would be caught up to meet Him in the air. We refer to this event as the "Rapture." Truth regarding the church in no way cancels out the promises made by God to the nation of Israel, which will be literally and completely fulfilled. 

A complete set of our doctrinal beliefs is listed in our bylaws and is available to everyone.
