- We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant and infallible Word of God, and the final authority for faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16)
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent, in one essence, yet three co-equal persons, the Trinity: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 4:4-6, Matthew 28:19, John 14:9-11, John 15:26).
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:16, Mark 8:27-29, Luke 9:18-20), His virgin birth (Luke 1:29-35), His sinless life (1 John 3:5), His miracles (Acts 2:22, John 3:2), His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood (Romans 3:25, 1 Tim 2:5-6, 1 Peter 1:18-19), His bodily resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-5), His ascension (Luke 24-50-53, Acts 1:9-11) and His personal return in power and glory. (Acts 1:11, John 14:2-3).
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men: the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment. (John 5:28-29, John 5:24)
- We believe that all men are sinful by nature, and that saving faith is the gift of God given to man by grace and received only by personal trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:22-24)
- We believe that we should live in such a manner as to not bring reproach upon our Savior and Lord. (Matthew 5:16, Philippians 1:27)
- We believe it is our obligation as believers to witness by life and word to the truths of the Gospel and proclaim these truths to all mankind. (Matthew 28:19-20).
- We believe that God has called us as His people to glorify Him by our lives and our words. Because of this goal, we seek to learn to address life's issues from a Biblical worldview in a manner that glorifies God, within a context of Christian love. (1 Peter 1:15, Colossians 4:6, James 1:22-25)
- We believe that we as parents have been given the responsibility by God to educate our children throughout every aspect of their lives. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)

“Your
children will need finely honed communication skills for every
relationship they will ever have. As workers, whether in the
position of an employer or employee, they must understand
others and express their thought to others. As husbands and
wives, they need the same abilities. As consumers, citizens,
members of the body of Christ, and parents – in every
stage and station of life – they must learn to speak
with precision and accuracy. They must gain facility in drawing
others out. Home is the place for developing these skills.
What a great advantage the child has who has learned to articulate
his thoughts and to understand them.”
