We believe in the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, as the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings. It is the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

 

That there is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 

That Jesus Christ is True God and True Man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Moreover, He rose 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. 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, indwell, guide, instruct and enable the believer to live and serve godly.

 

That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin, and therefore, is lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only basis for the justification and salvation of all who believe, and only those who receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and, therefore, become children of God.

 

That water baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. However, they are not to be considered as means of salvation. That the true Church is composed of all those persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united in the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. That only those who are thus members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local Church, that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, and that each local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs.

 

In the personal, pre-millennial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that this "Blessed Hope" has a vital influence on the personal and service life of the believer.

 

In the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to eternal bliss and joy with the Lord, of the unbeliever to judgment and conscious eternal punishment.
