- In essential beliefs - we have unity.
"There is one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, One faith, One baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Ephesians 4:4-6
- In non-essential beliefs - we have liberty
"Him that is weak in faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations." Who art thou that judges another mans servant? To his own master standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand."
- In all our beliefs - we show love
"And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing."
Essential Beliefs:

- All scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit without error. (2 Tim. 3:16)
- Man was made in the image of God, the crown of creation. He is now, by reason of the fall, spiritually alienated from his creator. Apart from God's grace he has no ability to ability to attain his high calling. (Psalm 8, Eph. 2:8-9)
- Justification is by grace through faith in our Lord's sacrifice on Calvary. (Rom. 3:21-24)

- That the callings of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher, are functional within the body of Christ until the Lord's return. These gifts are for the purpose of equipping the saints for the work of ministry, that the body of Christ might be edified. (Eph. 4:11-13)
- That the God designed marriage to be a covenant contract between one man and one woman, surrendering to a life-long commitment to one another. Any sexual activity or behavior outside this commitment of marriage is a sin. (Eph. 5:25-31, Gen. 2:21-24)
