We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is divine revelation and the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original manuscripts. Its teaching is the final authority for all Christian life in matters of faith and practice.
We believe in the unity of the Godhead eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and yet identical in nature: all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present, and unchangeable; and infinitely perfect in love, truth, righteousness, justice, goodness, grace, and mercy.
We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both truly God and truly man, two natures in one person. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He performed miracles to manifest His deity, lived a sinless life, suffered, and died as a completely satisfactory sacrifice for the sin of the whole world. He arose from the dead on the third day, and His bodily resurrection guarantees the resurrection of all who believe and trust in Him. He ascended to the right hand of God the Father, where He reigns over the universe and intercedes for believers, and from where He will return to the earth to establish His kingdom.
We believe that humankind was created in the image of God but fell into disobedience by a voluntary decision and, as a result, became separated from God and therefore spiritually dead and subject to physical death. This fallen nature was transmitted to all humanity, except Jesus Christ, who lived a sinless life. The blood of Jesus Christ was shed for our redemption.
Only those who receive Jesus Christ by faith are forgiven and born of the Holy Spirit; thus, they become children of God. Faith alone is the condition of salvation, but good works and righteous living should accompany such faith and furnish evidence of its existence.
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells and seals every believer at the moment of saving faith. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convince men of sin; regenerate the believing sinner; and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. We believe that all Christians should witness for Christ in His power and study the Bible with His help.
We believe that the church, composed of all who genuinely believe in and accept Jesus Christ as Savior, is united together into one body, of which He is the Head. As members of the church, we have a responsibility to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, supporting the local church and loving one another with pure hearts.
