The Gospel
The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins.
This good news is woven through the overall themes of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation ordained by God and orchestrated through the person of Jesus Christ as is testified to in Scripture.
Christ's crucifixion is the heart of the gospel. His resurrection is the power of the gospel. His ascension is the glory of the gospel.
The gospel demonstrates God's mysterious love and reveals His amazing grace.
We want all that takes place in our hearts, churches, and ministries to proceed from and be related to the gospel.
This is truly GOOD NEWS!

Salvation
Sin separates mankind from God and is a reality we must be saved from.
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
We believe salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins.

Baptism
Baptism is intended only for those who have professed faith in Jesus Christ and can give sufficient testimony to the basics of Christian beliefs.
Baptism is by immersion because it is not only the original significance of the word, but also best symbolizes the reality to which baptism points—our death and resurrection in Christ.
