The Sufficiency of the Scriptures - The Bible contains everything we need for life and godliness. Trinitarian - One God in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Christ Centered - Christ is the head of the Church and the point of all that we do. Expository Preaching - The main point of a passage is the main point of the sermon. Doctrines of Grace - God is Sovereign over all things including: salvation and sanctification. Faith Alone - Salvation only comes through Christ on the basis of faith, not works. Lordship - Christ must not only be our Savior but He must also be one's Lord. Evangelistic - The Gospel is the only means of salvation and must be preached to the ends of the earth. Baptistic - Baptism takes place after conversion as a public sign of one's commitment to following Christ. Cessationistic - The miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit are no longer given as spiritual gifts to the Church Biblical Counselling - The Bible is the primary tool in all spiritual matters.
