WE BELIEVE THAT:

1. The Bible, as it is contained in the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is divinely inspired, and constitutes the only infallible and authoritative word of God. 2Tim.3:16; 2Pe.1:20 - 21; Mt.5:18.
2. There is one God, Creator and Lord of the universe, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible. Deut.6:4; Is. 44:6-8; Mt. 28:19.
3. Jesus Christ is God the Son incarnate, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, truly man. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross of Calvary as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. He was buried, physically arose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, where he is now the interceding High Priest, at the right hand of the Father. Jn.1:14; Lk.1:34-35; Jn.3:16; He. 4:15; Ph. 2:5-8; 1Co. 15:3-5
4. Man was created in the image of God. He sinned and was consequently separated from God. All men are sinners, both by birth and by choice. As a result, man is by nature depraved, under condemnation and unable to attain to divine righteousness. Ge.1:26; Eze.18:4; Ro.3:10-12;5:12-18.
5. Sinners are saved by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and complete work of Jesus Christ on the cross. The blood of Jesus Christ is the only basis for the remission of sins. Eph.2:8-9; Heb.9:12,22; Ro.5:12;Ac.4:12. Though essentially spiritual in nature, the benefits of salvation embrace the needs of the total person-spirit,soul, and body. 1Pe.2:24; 3Jn.2; Jas.5:15; 1Th.5:23.
6. The Holy Spirit is instrumental in:    
   • Regeneration-the new birth of every person who repents of his sin and receives Christ as Savior and Lord. Jn.3:3-8; Ro.10:9-10, 2Pe.3:9.
   • The experience of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Ac.2:1-4;19:1-6
   • Sanctification-a life of separation from the world to live in holiness, producing the fruit of the Spirit. Col.3:1-8; Ga.5:22-23.
7.  Divine healing of the spirit, soul and body. Mk.16:18; Ac.28:8-9; 1Pe.2:24 Deliverance from the power and influence of evil spirits. Mk.16:18; Lk.10:19-20
8. Satan is an angelic being who rebelled against God. He is the head of a hierarchy of evil spirit beings who influence mankind and seek their ruin. These are subject to believers, and will all eventually be cast into eternal judgment. Lk.4:1-13; 10:17-20; Eph.6:12; Mt.25:41.
9. The Church is the redeemed community of God’s people throughout all ages. All believers are priests under Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the Church. Re.1:6; Eph.1:22,23.
10. The essential functions of the Church are:    
    • To worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Jn.4:23-24.  
      
    • To disciple believers and help them to grow into the likeness of Christ. Eph.4:11-16.      
      
    • To actively engage in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ among all nations. Ac.1:8; Mt.28:18-20.
11. All believers are commanded to be baptized in water by immersion as a public testimony of their death with Christ and resurrection to new life in Him. Mt.28:19; Ac.2:36-38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:1-15.
12. Believers are to participate in Communion, known as the Lord’s Supper, the juice and broken bread being symbolic of the broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ. Mt.26:26-29; 1Co.11:23-26.
13. All believers are to give of their substance to the Lord’s work. 1Chr.16:28; Mal.3:10; 1Co.16:2.
14. The dead will be resurrected, believers to eternal life with God, and unbelievers to eternal judgment and torment. 1Co.15:50-54; 1Th.4:16-17; 2Th.1:8-9.
15. Jesus Christ will return to this earth personally, visible and bodily in power and glory to establish His Kingdom. Jn.14:3; 1Th.4:16-17; Ac.1:11.
