- We believe that there is one living and true God and beside Him there is no other He is an infinite intelligent Being,
who is spiritual, eternal, unchangeable, and the Sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things (Ex. 15:11, Re. 4:11;
Ps. 147:5; Jn. 4:24).
- We believe in the Triune Godhead: God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit each with personal attributes, equal
in every divine perfection, nature, essence or being (Mt. 28:19; II Co. 13:14).
- We believe that man was created in the holy image of God but by voluntary transgression against the law of God fell
from that perfect state of holiness resulting in corruption of the human race and whereby all mankind are sinners
(Ge. 1:26; Ge. 3:6-14; Ro. 5:12, 19).
- We believe that all mankind are sinners; that we cannot save ourselves by our own works or efforts, but that we are
saved by grace through faith through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. (Is. 53:4-5; Jn. 3:16; Rom. 3:26; Ep. 2:8-
9).
- We believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; that He is the Son of God, the
second person of the Triune Godhead, that He is the Son of God and that His suffering and death was
substitutionary for mankind and only benefit those who believe on Him (1 Jn. 2:2; I Pe. 2:24; He. 2:9; Is. 53:6).
- We believe in the ordinances of the Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism of a penitent believer is by water in
the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Mt.28:10-9-20; Ac. 8:12, 38).
- We believe in the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper which is a provision of bread and wine in which members of the
body of Christ commemorate together the dying love, suffering and death of Jesus Christ preceded by a solemn self-
examination (Ac. 2:41; I Co. 11:26, 28).
- We believe in all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that faith, hope and love are abiding gifts (I Co. 12-14; I Co. 13:
13; Ep. 411-12; Ro 12:6-8).
- We believe in the fellowship of the saints and worshipping God in Spirit and in truth (Ac. 2:46; He. 10:25; Jn 4:24).
- We believe holy men of God under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible and that it is profitable for,
doctrine, reproof, correction, and for instruction in righteousness. That it is the only authoritative guide to proper
Christian, ethics, faith and practice (Ps. 119:160; II Ti. 3:16; II Pe. 1:21).
- We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Triune Godhead who is the divine Administrator for Jesus
Christ and who dwells in the hearts of believers; that He empowers, convicts sinners, regenerate, seals, secure,
empowers us and guides believers into all truth (Ac. 1:8; 2:14; Mt. 28.19; Jn. 14:16; Ep. 4:30; Jn.15:8-9; I Co. 6:
19).
- We believe in evangelizing the lost to Christ through witnessing and by preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
(Rom.1:16; Mt. 28:19-20; Ac. 1:8).
- We believe in making disciples for Jesus Christ, perfecting and equipping the saint for the work of ministry and using
the gifts and talents given to us by the Holy Spirit (Ro. 12:6-8; I Co. 12; Ep. 4:11-12).
- We believe that Jesus will return for His Church (the Bride) without spot or wrinkle, that the dead in Christ shall rise
first and those that are alive in Christ will be caught up in the air with Christ and live with Him for all eternally (I Th.
4:13-17).
- We believe that there is one body, One Lord, one Faith, and One Baptism (Ep. 4:4-5).
- We believe that the Christian Sabbath is observed on the first day of the week and is to be kept sacred for religious
purposes (Ac. 20:7; Ex. 20:8).
- We believe that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption (Ep. 4:20).
- We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the Christian Church (Col. 1:18).
