- Passionate worship is key in the life of the Christian and in the local church
- If we have been shown love and mercy, we ought to extend that by serving our community in word and deed
- The local body is not merely a gathering of like-minded people, but a community of saints wherein we love one another and strive together for Godliness
- The Church is called to make disciples who make disciples, building the Kingdom by exponential Gospel growth
- The 66 books of Scripture are authoritative, inspired by God, contain no errors or mistakes,and are infallible
- There is one eternal God that exists in three equal persons - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
- God the Father is the Creator, the Sovereign, is omnipresent, and He reveals himself to mankind through the Scripture
- God the Son - known to us as Jesus Christ - came to earth as the God-man, living a fully human life, yet without sin
- Jesus Christ absorbed the wrath of God on the cross and resurrected in order to pardon those who would believe on His name of their sins, and He now acts as our mediator, sitting on the right hand of God the Father
- God the Holy Spirit illuminates Scripture and draws individuals to salvation in Christ, thereby indwelling the believer until their death as an assurance of salvation
- God the Holy Spirit has given gifts unto the Church to edify the body of Christ, and will reflect Christ in Spirit, in truth, and in decency

- Salvation is secured by Christ’s finished work on the cross and is found only in Him - specifically by faith in the Gospel and true repentance of sins
- Salvation is secured through the imputation of Christ’s righteousness, whereby He was punished for our sins in our place so the He might give us His righteousness
- The Church is made up of all who believe the Gospel across the world
