- Scripture: We believe
in the divine inpriration and inerrant authority of the Scriptures ( both Old and New Testaments ) as the only authoritive
Word of God
- Trinity: We believe that there is one God, infinitely
perfect and eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spriit
- Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true
man, having been conceived and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins, according to the Scriptures.
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.
- Holy Spirit: We believe in the present ministry
of the Holy Spirit who glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ and in this present age convicts people of sin, regenerates them, and
then indwells, guides, instructs, and empowers the believer for godly living and service
- Human Beings: We believe that human beings were
created in the image of God, but fell into sin and are therefore lost and that only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit
can sinful and lost people experience God's salvation
- Salvation: We believe that faith in the shed blood
of Jesus and His resurrection provide the only grounds for justification and becoming the children of God. It is only
by the grace that comes through faith in Christ that salvation and spiritual life can be obtained
- Church: We believe in one holy Christian church,
the body of Christ which is comprised of all who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and experienced saving faith in
Jesus Christ. There is thus a vital spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Chirst. We believe that Jesus Christ
is the Lord and Head of the Church, and every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs
- Ordinances: We believe that the Lord's supper and
water baptism are ordinances to be observed by the church during the present age, but that they are not a means of salvation
- Bodily Resurrection: We belive in the resurrection
of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of everlasting and blessed life and they that are
lost unto the resurrection of everlasting, conscious punishment
- Return of Christ: We believe in the second coming
of Jesus Christ which will bring about the consummation of all things and that this "blessed hope" has vital bearing on the
personal life and service of the believer
