"In essentials, unity.

 In non-essentials, liberty.

 In all things, charity."

               - Saint Augustine

1. We believe in one God Who exists from everlasting to everlasting and expresses Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
2. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, Who is true God and true Man;
3. We believe in the Virgin Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ;
4. We believe that God inspired His prophets to write the Bible (His Word), and therefore the Bible is the inerrant Word of God;
5. We believe that God created each of us in His image and deserves our love and obedience;
6. Through the decision of one man (Adam) death entered the world, separating us from God. Since then, we're all born separate from God;
7. Through the sacrificial death and resurrection of one perfect man (Jesus, God-the-Son) we can be re-united with God;
8. All we have to do is believe in Jesus to be forgiven of all our sins and spend eternity with God;
9. If we accept this gift from God, He lives in us (spiritually), empowering us to live, love and help others know Him;
10. Belief in the above leads to the following conclusions:
    • Everyone who has accepted God's gift (#8) is a child of God and part of our family, regardless of their denomination, church affiliation (or none), race, nation or gender;
    • Everyone who has accepted God’s gift of salvation lives to dedicate themselves as a living sacrifice to God by forsaking their old sinful nature and walking in the light of the Spirit;
    • Diversity in interpreting God's Word in non-essentials is an opportunity for acceptance, learning and growth, not conflict and dissention.
