We believe the Holy Scriptures are the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and without error in the original manuscripts; and constitute the ultimate authority and standard of faith and practice.
We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing and in three persons. These are equal in every divine perfection. They execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation.
We believe in God the Father, the infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of man. He hears and answers prayer. He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ His Son.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His Virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe in his substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal, visible return to earth.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an Abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide.
We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins, and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior, are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body, of which Jesus Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of born-again believers in Jesus Christ, and associated for worship, work, and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.
We believe in the personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to earth, and the establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal felicity of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
