We believe . . .

. . . the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings. They are the complete revelation of His will for mankind, including His means of salvation, and they are the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

. . . there is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

. . . Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven where, at the right hand of the Father, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.

. . . the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict people of sin; give life to the believing sinner; and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.

. . . man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost. Only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

. . . the death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only grounds for the justification and salvation of all who believe. Further, only those who repent and trust Jesus Christ and His atoning work are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become the children of God.

. . . the personal, premillenial and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His church is our "blessed hope" and has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.

. . . there will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting, conscious punishment.

. . . the true church is composed of all those who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been united together in Christ.

. . . water baptism by immersion after accepting Christ as personal Savior is a testimony of one's identification with Him and His people, and illustrates one's death to sin and resurrection to a new life. The Lord's Supper is a memorial service, setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ.  All true believers, and only believers, should share in it.
