the Bible is our statement and standard for all belief, instruction, practice and policy
we acknowledge the historical roots of Christianity that have shaped the theology and orthodoxy of our faith and use the Nicene and Apostles' creeds as summaries of the gospel consistent with scripture
we identify with the evangelical church of Jesus Christ universal and have adopted the Lausanne Covenant as a true description of our expectations for Christian Mission and as a sign of our relationship with all churches committed to the apostolic gospel
we intend to direct affairs of our local church in a manner concordant with scripture and therefore have adopted a statement of constitution that contains the biblical principles and the practical by-laws that govern our order and polity
