We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life.
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He descended from heaven, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross and paid the penalty for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service. We believe that the Holy Spirit gives all believers one or more spiritual gifts for the edification and unity of the Body of Christ.
We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin, and that we all, by nature and by willful act, are deserving of God’s wrath. We are utterly incapable of earning God’s favor through good works or by personal merit. Salvation and the spiritual life can be obtained only through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and, thus become children of God.
We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head.
We believe that only those who are, thus, members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church. We believe that God has laid upon each member the task of evangelism and making disciples of all nations.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and that every local church has the right, under Christ, to decide and govern its own affairs.
We believe in the personal, premillennial, and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this "Blessed Hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy in the presence of the Lord; of the unbeliever to everlasting conscious punishment and eternal separation from God.
