1. We believe that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God - verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, inerrant in the original writing, and the infallible Word of God. The teaching and authority of only the whole book called THE HOLY BIBLE are absolute and final, and thus it is our guide to faith and practice.
2. We believe in one God, existing in three Persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Who are eternal in being, identical in nature, equal in power and glory, and having the same perfection and attributes.
3. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became Man, being conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order to reveal God and redeem sinful man. We believe that He accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross, His blood being the purchase price, and that He secured that redemption forever by His literal resurrection from the dead. We believe that He is now in heaven, exalted at the right hand of God where He fulfills the ministry of Advocate and High Priest for His people.
4. We believe that the Holy Spirit, though omnipresent from all eternity, took up His abode in the world in a special sense on the first day of Pentecost following the ascension of Christ Jesus, according to the divine promise, now indwells every true believer, by His baptism unites all to Christ in one body, and as the Indwelling One, is the source of all power and acceptable worship and service. We believe He is the infallible interpreter of the infallible Word and is ever present to testify of the Lord Jesus Christ.
5. We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in the transgression of Adam the whole race of mankind fell, and thereby inherited a sinful nature, spiritual death, alienation from God and total inability to revive his lost condition.
6. We believe that Jesus Christ became the sinner's substitute before God and died as a propitiatory sacrifice for sin - that no feeling, no good resolutions, no sincere efforts, no submission to the rules and regulations of any church or organization can add in the very least to the value of the precious blood or to the merit of the finished work accomplished for us by Jesus Christ.
7. We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
8. We believe that the Church is a spiritual organism composed of all born-again people, irrespective of their affiliation with Christian organizations, and as such, is the body and bride of Christ.
9. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ - that the coming again of Jesus Christ is the "blessed hope" for which we should be constantly looking.
10. We believe in the personality of Satan, called the Devil, who is the declared enemy of our Lord Jesus Christ and thereby the enemy of all who believe in Christ, but whose doom in the Lake of Fire is sealed by God's righteous decree.
11. We believe that at death, the spirits and souls of those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation pass immediately into His presence, and there remain in conscious bliss until the resurrection of the body at His coming, whereupon spirit, soul and body will be reunited and glorified to enjoy the glories and blessings of heaven forever. We believe also that the souls of those who have not believed in Jesus Christ remain after death in conscious misery until the final judgment of the Great White Throne, when soul and body reunited will be cast into the Lake of Fire to be punished with everlasting destruction away from the presence of the Lord.
12. We believe that the goal of the Christian life is to glorify God, and that the motive for the Christian life is love for God and love for people.
