1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their original writing, as fully inspired of God
and accept them as the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin
Mary and is true God and true man.
4. We believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin,
which is death, physically and spiritually; that all humans inherit a sinful nature which issues (in the case of
those who reach moral responsibility) in actual transgression involving personal guilt.
5. We believe in the principle of heterosexual relationships between a natural man and a natural woman within
the confines of lawful matrimony.
6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice according to the
Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
7. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our
High Priest and Advocate.
8. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
9. We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the
Holy Spirit and hereby become children of God.
10. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the
accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the
divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher.
11. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and
the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of Salvation.
12. We believe that elders carry the responsibility for oversight and care of the staff and members. Where
necessary, elders must carry out biblical discipline for the protection of the local church.
