1. We believe the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are verbally inspired of God, are inerrant in their original writings, and are of supreme and final authority in faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)

2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19; John 14:16-18; II Corinthians 13:14)

3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true Man. (Luke 1:30-35; John 10:28-30; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 4:14-15)

4. We believe that man was created in the image of God, that man sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature as a result. (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:15-17; 3:6-7, 16-19; Romans 3:10-12, 23; 5:12; 6:23; 7:18; Galatians 3:22)

5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe in Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood. (Romans 5:8-10; I Corinthians 15:3, 22; I Timothy 2:5-6; I John 2:1-2)

dsc_69996. We believe that God the Holy Spirit indwells all believers to convict, counsel, sanctify, empower and guide them in life and service. (John 14:16-17, 25-26; Romans 8:9-11; Ephesians 4:30)

7. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of Jesus Christ our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate. (Matthew 28:1-20; Luke 24:36-51; Hebrews 5:14; 7:23-28)

8. We believe in the blessed hope: the personal return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (Acts 1:9-10; I Thessalonians 4:13-17; Revelation 22:7,12)

9. We believe that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become the children of God. (John 1:12-13; 3:3-7; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9)

10. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the redeemed, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost. (I Corinthians 15:50-57; I Thessalonians 4:13-17; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:1-8; 14-15)
