1. We believe that the Bible is inspired
and inerrant, that all 66 books of the Old and New Testament
are God's complete written revelation to mankind, the only
infallible authority in all matters of faith and practice.
2. We believe in one true God, eternally
existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the
same in substance and equal in power and glory.
3. We believe in the complete humanity and
deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, sinless
life, miracles, vicarious and atoning death through His shed
blood on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension to the
right hand of the Father, and future personal return in
power and glory.
4. We believe that the Holy Spirit
indwells and empowers all believers and enables them to live
a godly life.
5. We believe that through Adam's sin all
have inherited a sinful nature and therefore all choose to
sin. All are thus sinners and deserving of death.
6. We believe that salvation of lost and
sinful man is only by the grace of God through personal
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, accomplished through
the regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
7. We believe that our sins block our
fellowship with God. As we confess those sins, God forgives
us and our fellowship is restored.
8. We believe
in the resurrection of the body, the judgment of the world
by our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal blessedness of the
saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
9. We believe that saving faith in Jesus Christ
unites all Christians as members of the body of Christ. Such
a position brings both privileges and responsibilities
before God and toward one another in the Christian life.
