*We believe that all men have sinned and lost their ability to fulfill the divine requirement to live perfectly. (Romans 3:23)
*We believe that it is only through acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior that fellowship with God can be restored. We also believe that one accepts Christ when they repent and are baptized. (Acts 2:38)
*We believe that participation in the local church is essential to spiritual development and discipline of the Christian family. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
*We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and is, therefore, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
*We believe the Bible teaches that marriage is an institution that involves one man and one woman (Genesis 2) and that in very clear terms the Bible condemns the practice of homosexuality. (Leviticus 17; Romans 1; 1 Corinthians 5)
*In addition to the aforementioned essential beliefs, we believe that God has given parents the responsibility to bring up their children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4; Proverbs 22:6)
