The Scriptures
We believe the Holy Bible to be God’s authoritative and inspired Word. God has preserved --- without error --- His word in the original manuscripts. From the original manuscripts we now have the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments that constitutes the Holy Scriptures, the closed cannon of Scripture. 

These Scriptures (the Holy Bible) are relevant in all respects for our: (1) teaching, (2) reproof, (3) correction and (4) training in righteousness. They are able to instruct us for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Because the Bible is our authority and guide, it is able to guide us in all doctrine, worship and Christian conduct!

(Romans 15:4;  2 Timothy 3:15-17;  Hebrews 4:12;  2 Peter 1:20-21.)

The Godhead
We believe in one God, the creator of all that exists in heaven and earth. The Godhead is infinitely perfect and is revealed to man as eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Each divine Person is rightfully called God. Together, they are the Godhead spoken of in Holy Scriptures. We believe the Father, Son and Holy Spirit each have the same nature, attributes and perfection (essence). They are each worthy of the same reverence and obedience.

(Genesis 1:1-2, 26;  Deuteronomy 6:4;  Matthew 28:18-20;  Acts 5:3-4;  
2 Corinthians 13:14;  Colossians 2:9;  Revelation 1:4-6.)

The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus is God revealed in the flesh, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We further believe in the sinless life of our Lord, in His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death on the cross. We also believe in His bodily resurrection on the third day, His ascension into heaven where He is presently seated at the right hand of the Father (a place of power and authority). Furthermore we believe in His imminent and personal return.

(John 1:1, 14; Luke 1:30-35; Hebrews 4:15; Matthew 4:23-25; Isaiah 53;
1 Peter 2:23-25; Acts 2:22-24; Philippians 2:5-11; Acts 1:11;
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.)

The Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. He is our source of power (anointing) for ministry, worship and service. He testifies of Christ and restrains evil in the world according to the divine will of the Father. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment; regenerates all believers; and indwells all who are saved. He is the only one who seals the Christian until the day of redemption.

(Romans 8:9-17; John 15:26; 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7; John 16:7-15;
John 3:5-8; 1 John 2:20, 27; Ephesians 1:13-14.)

The Fall of Man
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God. However, by willful transgression man fell, thereby incurring not only physical death but spiritual death; separation from God. The consequences of Adam’s sin was imputed (passed on) to all mankind; therefore, all mankind possess a sinful nature at physical birth. All who reach a state of moral responsibility (age of accountability) become sinners before God. Because of this "fallen nature" in mankind, he (she) cannot attain divine righteousness by his (her) own efforts. A new nature birthed from above by the Spirit of God (regeneration) is absolutely essential for salvation. The saved are called saints (who sometimes sin); the children of God.

(Genesis 1:26-27, 31; 3:1-6; 8:21; Romans 3:9-12, 23; 5:12-21;
Ezekiel 18:20; Ephesians 2:1-10; Titus 3:3-5.)

The Salvation of Man
We believe in the salvation of lost man through the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the cross. Our salvation is based upon no work or merit on the part of sinful man. It is based rather on the substitutionary death of our Savior, Jesus Christ. This gracious gift is received by faith; and, at that point the believer is justified (made righteous). God imputed (transfers) to him (the once sinner) the righteousness of Christ. Now, that sinner becomes a saint, "hidden in Christ."

(John 1:12-13; Romans 3:21-28; 4:1-5, 23-25; Romans 5:1-2, 6-8;
Ephesians 1:13-14; 2:1-10; Colossians 1:19-20; 2:13-14; 1 Peter 1:3-5,
1 Peter 18-21; 2:24-25; Colossians 3:3)

The Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The saved will be raised to eternal life with their LORD and will receive their rewards for the good deeds done in the body while here on this earth. The lost will be raised to face judgment and damnation. Eternal punishment awaits the unbeliever.

(John 5:24-29; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 25:41-46; Revelation 20:11-15.)
