#### Statement of Faith
* We believe in the divine inspiration and consequent authority of the whole canonical Scriptures
* We believe in the doctrine of the Trinity
* We believe in the fall of man, his consequent moral depravity and his need of regeneration
* We believe in the atonement through the substitutionary death of Christ
* We believe in the doctrine of justification by faith
* We believe in the resurrection of the body, in the case of the just and the unjust
* We believe in the eternal life of the saved and the eternal punishment of the lost
### Essential Beliefs
We consider Essential beliefs to be those that define us as believers in Jesus Christ. These cannot be disregarded or compromised.
We believe:
* The Bible is divinely inspired by God and has final authority.
* God is one and exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
* Because of the fall of man, all humans are sinful, and in need of salvation.
* The death of Christ is a substitute for sinners and provides for the cleansing of those who believe.
* By God’s grace, through faith, man receives salvation as a free gift because of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
* The resurrection of all—the saved to eternal life and the lost to eternal punishment.
### Peripheral Beliefs
Peripheral beliefs are those beliefs based on Scripture where sincere believers may have disagreements in their interpretation. These include areas such as modes of baptism, the rapture, second coming of Christ, the Lord’s Supper and church practices. On peripheral beliefs, we can agreeably accept differences.
