1. We believe the Bible to be
the verbally inspired, infallible Word of God. It alone is the final
authority in determining all doctrinal truth. (2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Peter
1:20-21)
2. We believe that there is one
God, eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. (Matt. 28:19)
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 future return in power and glory. (John 1:1, 14 Isaiah
9:6, Matt. 1:18, 2 Cor. 5:21, Luke 24:39, Acts 1:11)
4. We believe that salvation is
by God’s grace, (which is undeserved and unearned) that it was achieved by
Christ’s death and resurrection, and that we receive it by repenting from
sin and by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. We celebrate this salvation
through worship, and the observance of two ordinances, baptism and The
Lord’s Supper. (Eph. 2:8,9 Rom. 8:3 Acts 20:21, Matt. 28:19, 1 Cor.
11:23-25)
5. We believe in the deity of
the Holy Spirit, that He indwells and regenerates all believers, that He
empowers them for godliness and for ministry. We believe in the gifts of
the Holy Spirit which are to be used for the building up of the church. We
are commanded to be filled with the Spirit, led by the Spirit, and
transformed by the Spirit. (Acts 1:8, Acts 5:3-4, 1 Cor. 14:12, 2 Cor.
3:18, Eph. 5:18, Rom. 8:9-14)
6. We believe in the spiritual
unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. We are called to love one
another, and to lay down our lives for one another, even as Christ laid
down His life for us. (1 Cor. 12:-27, John 17: 20-23, 1 John 3:16, John
15:12) 7. We believe in the future
bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved to the
resurrection of life and the lost to the resurrection of condemnation. It
is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. (John 5:28,
1 Thess. 4:16-17, Heb. 9:27)
8. We believe that the
universe was created from nothing by the command of God. We believe
that Man is not the result of a purposeless, natural evolutionary
process, but was created in the image of God, by the direct act of God.
(Gen. 1:1, John 1:3)
9. We believe in the sanctity
of human life from the moment of conception. (Luke 1:15, Judges 13:7-8,
Psalm 139:13-16)
10. We believe that marriage
is an institution ordained by God for the exclusive relationship of a man
and a woman. We believe that the Lord loves all persons, but forbids the
practice of homosexuality as contrary to His design and purpose (Gen. 1:27,
Gen. 19, Rom. 1: 26-27, Lev. 18:22, 1 Cor. 6:9-10, 1 Tim. 1:10, Jude 7).
