1. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally inspired word of God, the
final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed.
2. THE GODHEAD
We believe in the Triune God, eternally existing in three persons- Father, Son and Holy Spirit- co-eternal in
being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections.
3. THE PERSON AND WORK OF CHRIST
a. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without
ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary,
in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man.
b. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on
the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our
justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.
c. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, and is now exalted at the right
hand of God, where as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative,
Intercessor, and Advocate.
4. THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
a. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness,
and of judgment, and, that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all
believers into the Body of Christ, Indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption.
b. We believe that He is the Divine Teacher who guides believers into all truth; and, that it is
the privilege and duty of all the saved to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
5. THE TOTAL DEPRAVITY OF MAN
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin
the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and, of
himself, totally unable to remedy his lost condition.
6. SALVATION
We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.
7. THE PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS AND ASSURANCE OF BELIEVERS
a. We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and thus are secure
in Christ
b. We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation
through the testimony of God's Word; however, clearly forbids the use of Christian
liberty as an occasion for the flesh.
8. MISSIONS
We believe that it is the obligation of the saved to witness by life and by word to the truths of the Holy
Scriptures and to seek to proclaim the Gospel to all mankind.
9. THE PERSONALITY OF SATAN
We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin and the cause of the fall; that he is the open and declared
enemy of God and man; that he shall be eternally punished in the Lake of fire.
10. THE SECOND ADVENT OF CHRIST
We believe in that "Blessed Hope", the personal, imminent, pretribulational and premillenial coming of the
Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones; and in His subsequent return to the earth, with His saints, to establish His
millennial Kingdom.
11. THE ETERNAL STATE
a. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved
to judgment and everlasting punishment.
b. We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the
Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection, when the spirit, soul, and body are
reunited to be glorified with the Lord.
c. We believe that the souls of unbelievers remain after death, ill conscious misery until the second
resurrection, when with the soul and body reunited, they shall appear at the Great White
Throne Judgment, and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated but to suffer
everlasting conscious punishment.
