We believe that the Father is begotten of none. He is the eternal Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Author of salvation, the Father of all who are born into newness of life through faith in Christ. Genesis 1:1; Psalm 90:2; John 13:3; John 16:28

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ; in His eternal generation from the Father. We believe in His incarnation where He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, therefore uniting the divine and human natures completely into the one unique person of Jesus Christ. In his sinless life and miraculous works; in His vicarious death, he made atonement for the sins of the world. We believe in His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father. We believe in His sovereign power and lordship. We believe in His present mediatorial ministry as the believer’s Advocate; and in His imminent coming in power and glory. Isaiah 53:6; Matthew 28:18-20; Romans 1:3-4, 8:34; 2 Corinthians 5:18-19; Ephesians 1:19-22

We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the triune God, who is proceeding from the Father and the Son. He is one substance, and is majesty and glory with the Father and the Son. He is very and eternally God. His office and work is to reprove or convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment; to regenerate such who are repentant of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ; to sanctify and endue with power, teach, guide and comfort the believer. The Scriptures reveal the work of the Holy Spirit in the church is uniting believers into the body of Christ and possessing it as the temple of God. He is equipping it with gifts and graces for service, giving it the body if inspired truth and imparting to it the spirit of illumination and guidance into all truth, and presiding over and guiding the church into the will of God. Matt.28:19; Luke 24:49; John 3:5-6, 14:16-18; Acts 1:8, 2:14, 13:24, 15:28; Rom. 12:6-8

We believe that the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God given by divine inspiration and is inerrant in the original manuscripts. The Bible today remains the unchanging authority in matters of Christian faith and practice. It is true and reliable in all the matters it addresses. Ps. 119:9, 89, 105; Matt. 24:35; 1Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim. 3:16; Heb. 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 1:21.

His Creation. We believe that man was created by an immediate act of God and not by a process of evolution. He was created in the image and likeness of God, possessing personality and holiness. In his original state man enjoyed sweet fellowship with God with the purpose of his creation being that he might glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Man having been created in the likeness of God is a self-conscious personality capable of free and rational choice. Gen 1:27; Eph 1:56

His Fall. We believe that our first parents, Adam and Eve, did not remain in the happy state of their original creation, but being deceived by Satan, voluntarily disobeyed the positive command of God and therefore were separated from God and incurred upon themselves and all mankind the sentence of both physical and spiritual death. Even the earth was cursed because of man’s sin. The consequence of the disobedient act caused the entire human race to become corrupted in every heart. There is now by nature that evil disposition which eventually leads to responsible acts of sin and to just condemnation. Also through the fall of Adam, man has become so completely ruined that he has neither will nor power to turn to God and if left to himself would remain in his sin forever. Genesis 3:13, 16-17, Isa. 64:6; Rom 7:7; 1 John 1:8

We believe all men and women are sinners and guilty before God, are dead in trespasses and sin and therefore are unable to save themselves. Therefore, God out of His infinite love has given His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to become man’s Savior. Matthew 1:21; John 3:14-17, 16:44; Rom 3:10-12, 19, 20, 23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 8-9

We believe that the invisible and universal church is an organism composed of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ who have been called out from the world, separated from sin and vitally united by faith to Christ, its living Head and sovereign Lord. 1 Cor. 12:12-27; Eph. 1:22-23, 4:15-16; Col. 1:18; Heb. 12:23

We believe that the visible and local church is an organized body of believers in Christ who are voluntarily joined together and who meet at regular times for teaching in the Word, fellowship of the saints, observance of the ordinances, administration of discipline, exercise in prayer and participation in public worship and evangelism. Matt 18:15-17; Acts 2:42, 46,47 and 20:7; 1Cor. 5:1-4, 16:2

We believe the characteristic marks of the members of the true church are faith in Jesus as the Son of God, love for God and for those of like faith, obedience to God’s commandments and victory over the world. John 13:35; 1 John 3:14, 4:2, 5:1-5

We believe the primary duties of the church consist of glorifying God and exalting the Lord Jesus Christ, of building itself up in the most holy faith and of preaching the Gospel in all the world as a witness to all men. Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8, 20:32; Eph. 1:5-6. 3:21, 4:11-16; 1 Peter 4:11; Jude 20-21
