We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its plenary, verbal inspiration. In other words, God so superintended the human authors that as they recorded His Word, it was kept free from error and omission. The Bible is therefore, the inerrant, infallible, pure Word of God, from which nothing should be subtracted and to which nothing should be added. The Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, cannot be separated from the Written Word, the Bible, for where the Bible speaks, Jesus speaks

we believe that the Bible alone is the divine authority and supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried, for every age and every life. We believe that the Word of God has been preserved in the existing manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments


We believe there is one true and living God, one in essence, yet possessing three eternal and personal natures, which are revealed as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The persons of the Godhead are equal in every divine perfection and are in complete harmony, but have separate and distinct functions. God is the sovereign Ruler and Maker of the universe, inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all praise, confidence, and love

God is the Creator. God is the absolute and sole Creator of the universe and all that it contains. Creation was by divine decree as recorded in the first two chapters of Genesis (and in other Scriptures) and not through an evolutionary process

God the Father is the first person of the triune Godhead, equal with God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, each possessing the same essence. God is infinite in His holiness. He is the Ruler and Judge of all, and is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. He sovereignly controls the flow of human history according to the good pleasure of His own will. In considering the work of each Person of the Godhead, we believe the truth that all Persons of the Trinity are active in the work of each individual Person
