THE WORD OF GOD: The Bible is the Word of God, fully
inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It has supreme authority
in all matters of faith and conduct.
THE
TRINITY: There is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, equal in every divine perfection. They
execute distinct but harmonious office in the work of creation, providence and redemption.
GOD THE FATHER is an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness,
wisdom, power and love. He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin
and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
JESUS
CHRIST is God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life,
miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession
for His people, and personal visible return to the earth.
THE
HOLY SPIRIT came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgement and to regenerate,
sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.
REGENERATION: All men are sinners by nature and by choice and are therefore
under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by
the Holy Spirit and are justified by grace through faith.
THE
CHURCH: The universal church is a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are
members. The local church consists of a company of believers in Jesus Christ who associate for worship, work and fellowship.
God has laid upon members of the local church the primary task of giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.
CHRISTIAN CONDUCT: A Christian should live for the glory
of God and the well-being of his fellow man. His conduct should be blameless before the world. He should be a faithful steward
of his possessions and should seek to realize for himself and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.
THE ORDINANCES: The Lord Jesus Christ has committed two
ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These two ordinances should be observed and administered
until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
THE
LAST THINGS: The Lord Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to earth to establish His kingdom. We believe
in the resurrection of the body, the final judgement, the eternal felicity of the righteous, and the eternal damnation of
the lost.
