"As Christians, we must be active in the political process
if God's moral standards are to be reflected in our society."¹
We reject the notion that religion and politics do not mix. For too long, Bible-believing Christians have been mostly absent from the political process and that vacuum has allowed Secularists to increasingly conform our government and our public morals to their Worldview. For that very reason, God commands us to choose our leaders with care. Jesus commands us to be salt and light in every sphere of human endeavor. The apostles were fearless in engaging everyone, including religious and civil authorities, with the Good News of true freedom.
Similarly, our Founding Fathers unashamedly declared their dependence on Almighty God and asked for His provision and protection. It is time for believers everywhere to learn the truth about America's Christian heritage and to defend and promote the Worldview for which our Founders fought and died. They knew that our "inalienable rights" come only from the God of the Bible - not from man - and on that basis alone, "all men are created equal." History proves that when God is removed from public life the tyranny of man over man inevitably follows. May this never be true in America. Jesus made it clear: "If you hold to my teachings … then you will know the truth and the truth will set you - (and keep you) free." (John 8:31b-32) God is Total Truth.

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the final authority on faith and practice.
We believe in one God, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, who: was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death on a cross, was buried, rose bodily from the dead and ascended into Heaven from where He will one day come back again to earth in power and glory.
We believe that all men are fallen creatures and in need of salvation by God's unmerited grace.
We believe that faith alone in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord causes a rebirth that frees the believer from the mastery of sin and its eternal consequences and makes him a new creature, a child of God.
We believe the Holy Spirit carries out His work of renewal of our mind and daily life by the washing of God’s Word, empowering us to mature in our relationship with our Heavenly Father and to walk in loving obedience to His wonderful plan and holy will.
We believe that we are created by God and endowed with inalienable rights for His glory and our good.
We believe that the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America are the most effective instruments ever devised by man to protect God-given rights, individual freedom and economic opportunities in this nation.
We believe that Christians have a dual citizenship. First, we are permanent citizens of God's Kingdom, accountable to Him, our King, and partakers in all of His privileges.¹ Second, we are temporary citizens of this earthly nation, America, and are responsible for understanding and preserving our Christian heritage for the common good, just as our Founders did so remarkably in their response to the God of the Bible. May His will be done through us on earth as it is in Heaven.
