The only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's Agape love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.
-
The primary purpose of our fellowship is to reveal to an unsaved world the love of God, eternal life in Jesus Christ, and the personal and corporate empowerment of the Holy Spirit through a godly family environment of fellowship, worship, prayer, and sacrament.
-
Our presentation of the gospel should be relevant to our society and unyielding in the truth and wisdom of God’s Word.

That Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us.

In the personal, visible, and pre-millennial second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. He will return with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be no end.

That all people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.

In all the basic doctrines of historic Christianity.

In the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible Word of God.

That God is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

That God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things.
-
In the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.
