We believe . . . that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian Life.
We believe . . . in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and that these three are co-equal.
We believe . . . in the full deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
We believe . . . that man was created by and for God; that by man’s disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all people are sinners by nature and practice.
We believe . . . the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to cancel out the sin of all who trust in Him. Thus, we are rescued from an eternity apart from God by faith alone in Christ alone; all who trust in Jesus Christ are declared righteous by God and will, therefore, spend eternity in His presence. This does not occur because of anything we do but by God’s grace alone.
We believe . . . in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit; convicting men of sin; indwelling all believers from the moment of salvation; enabling and empowering the believer’s life, growth, and ministry.
We believe . . . that those trusting in Jesus Christ are secure in their salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the believer.
