1. We believe that the Bible is divinely inspired by God. It is faultless and it is the sole and final authority for all matters of our lives. (2 Tim. 3:16, Heb. 4:12, 2 Peter 1:21)

 

2. We believe in the eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as one God existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19, 2 Cor. 13:14)

 

3. We believe that man by nature is sinful and unholy. He is unable to attain God’s righteousness apart from regeneration through the Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom. 5:8-10)

 

4. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of all men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. He is totally God and yet, totally man. (Luke 1:26-35, John 1: 14-18, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6,7) 

 

5. We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day. (1 Cor. 15:1-4)

 

6. We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven and that He is coming again a second time for His Church. (John 14:2-3, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, Heb. 9:28)

 

7. We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the work of the Cross. (Ephes. 2:8-9, Heb. 9:12,22)

 

8. We believe that water baptism by total immersion, in the name of the eternal Godhead, is necessary in order to fulfill the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:38, 19:1-6)

 

9. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a real experience at or after salvation. Believers can then speak in tongues as the Spirit gives them the utterance. (Acts 2:1-4, 8:14-17, 10:44-46)

 

10. We believe in the operation of the gifts and ministries of the Spirit that are listed in I Cor. 12-14 andEphes. 4:11-13.

15. We believe in eternal life for believers (John 3:16, 5:24) and eternal punishment for the unbelievers.(Mark 9:43-48, 2 Thess. 1:9. Rev. 20:10-15)

 

16. We believe that there is one true Church that is made up of genuine believers with Jesus as the head. However, this one Church is composed of many local churches in different localities. (Matt. 16:18, Acts 9:3 1, Ephes. 5:23)
