1. We
believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word
of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; Hebrews 4:12)
2. We
believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 45:21-22; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians
13:14)
3. We
believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His
sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His
shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of
the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Genesis 3:15;
Matthew 1:18; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; John 1:1-3; Philippians 2:7-8; Hebrews
4:14-16, 9:24; 1 John 2:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

believe that Jesus Christ died and shed His blood for our sins according to the
Scriptures and by grace provided salvation for all who believe on Him (Romans
5:8-9; Hebrews 9:22; Ephesians 1:7)
5. We
believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the
Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Acts 1:5, 2:2-4; Hebrews 2:4; 2
Timothy 1:14)
6. We
believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved
unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of
damnation. (John 5:28-29; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:4-6, 11-15)
7. We
believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts
1:8, 2:44-47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 5:25-32)
8. We
believe that Marriage is the union of one man and one woman and is the symbol
of the relationship between Jesus Christ and His Church. (Jeremiah 3:14; 1
Corinthians 6:9-11; 2 Corinthians 11:2)
