1. The Bible is the only inspired and infallible authoritative Word of God, inerrant in the original copy (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21)
2. God is one Being who eternally exists as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; all of the three are equal in power and glory (Matthew 28:19, II Cor. 13:14)
3. Jesus Christ is fully God and man (John 1:1,14); born of a virgin (Matthew 1:18); sinless in His life (Hebrews 4:15); He died vicariously on the cross as a substitute for sinful men (Hebrews 9:15); He rose bodily from the grave (John 20: 1–9, 24-31; Acts 2:24); and now reigns with the Father (Acts 2:33, Hebrews 10:12); He will return visibly and personally to the earth both in salvation and judgment (Acts 1:11, Hebrews 9:28, Matthew 24:30).
4. All humans are sinful by nature (Romans 3:23, 5:12) and can only be forgiven by the expression of trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior (John 3:16). Repentance precedes forgiveness (Luke 13:3, Acts 2:38) and salvation is brought about by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life (Romans 8:1-17).
5. We believe husbands are called to be the spiritual leader of the family and wives are called to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord in all areas. Ephesians 5:21-24.     
6. We hold as belief and conviction that children are given by God as a stewardship to the parent, and that the parents have the exclusive authority to teach and educate their own children.
7. In the spiritual unity of believers through our common faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that individual doctrinal differences that may exist outside of the aforementioned (letters A-F) should not hinder the unity of the group.
