Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and
infallible Word of God and that it alone is the singular
and ultimate authority for faith and practice in the Christian
life. (II Timothy 3:15; II Peter 1:21)
God
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in
three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1;
Matthew 28:19; John 10:30)
Deity
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He
was conceived and born of a virgin. We believe in His sinless
life, in His supernatural miracles, and in His finished
work on the cross as the substitutionary and only atoning
sacrifice for sin, of all who believe in Him. We believe
in Christ's bodily resurrection, ascension to the right
hand of the Father and personal return in power and glory.
( John 10:33; Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 4:15; John 2:11; I Corinthians
15:3; Ephesians 1:7; John 11:25; I Corinthians 15:4; Acts
1:11; Revelation 19:11)
Image
We believe that man was created in God's image, is now a
sinner by nature because of the fall of Adam, and must be
born again by the Spirit of God to be saved. (Genesis 1:27;
Romans 3:23; II Corinthians 5:17)
Salvation
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit by grace alone, through
faith alone, in Christ Jesus alone. (John 3:16-19; John
5:24; Romans 5:8,9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5)
Ministry
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by
whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly
life. (Romans 8:13,14; I Corinthians 3:16; I Corinthians
6:19,20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18)
Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the
lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life
and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
(John 5:28,29)
Spiritual
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord
Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians
3:26-28)
