| We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, equal in all
parts and in the whole and is totally inerrant in the original
manuscripts. We believe that all the Scriptures center about the Lord
Jesus Christ and hence that no portion is properly read nor understood
until it leads to Him. |

| We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons;
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one
God, having the same nature attributes and perfections and are worthy
of the same homage and obedience. |

| We believe in the pre-existent, incarnation and virgin birth of the
Lord Jesus Christ who came into the world to reveal the Father, and was
the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person; that
the Lord Jesus Christ was the Creator of all things, for by Him the
worlds were made. |

| We believe the Holy Spirit, though omnipresent from all eternity, after
the glorification of Jesus Christ was sent on the day of Pentecost,
dwells in every believer, unites all to Christ in one body, and is the
source of all power and all acceptable service. |

| We believe that man by willful transgression fell from a state of
righteousness and holiness in which he was first created into total
spiritual depravity; a state of death in trespasses and sins in which
he is held as a slave of sin and an enemy of God, being unable to
attain divine righteousness by his own efforts, but must be redeemed
and delivered by the power of the Gospel. |

| We believe that repentance and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ
produces the work of justification in the believer through faith in the
shed blood of Jesus Christ. Further, we believe that no one can enter
the kingdom of God unless born of the Spirit. Jesus Christ, who died as
our substitute. |

| We believe that a continuous walk in grace should be the emphasis of
heart righteousness and purity believing in the keeping power of God,
walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh, in conduct that
demonstrates the character of Jesus Christ, not being conformed to the
world, but being transformed by the renewing of the mind. |

We believe that the New Testament teaches at least three baptisms.
First, there is the baptism where by the repentant sinner, upon
trusting Jesus Christ as his Savior, is baptized by the Holy Spirit
into the body of Christ.
Second, there is water baptism by immersion for believers only. This we
believe to be an ordinance of the church, whereby the believer
experiences the reality of co-crucifixion and co-resurrection with the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Third, there is the filling or baptism in the Holy Spirit by the Lord
Jesus Christ, which may occur at or subsequent to conversion We believe
that speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance is one of
the normative evidences of this baptism. Further, we believe that by
the believer's continued yieldedness to the Holy Spirit his very
weakness is transformed into strength to witness for Jesus Christ in
power and to live according to the will of God. |

We believe that water baptism is for believers only and should be
administered by the mode of immersion and in the authority of the Lord
Jesus Christ to the glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that through the Lord's Supper the believer renews and
affirms the reality of the New Covenant. The elements are to be
received with joy and gratitude upon confession and repentance from
every known sin. |

| We believe in the divinely called, commissioned and equipped five‑fold
ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers as
given to the Church by the Lord Jesus Christ after His ascension. We
further believe that all Christians are called to be ambassadors for
Christ and that all believers have been given the ministry of
reconciliation. |
-
-
| We believe that it is the explicit message of our Lord Jesus Christ to
those whom He has redeemed, that they are sent forth by Him into the
world to be witnesses of His saving grace and that their primary
purpose in life should be to glorify God by obedience to our Lord Jesus
Christ's command to preach the Gospel to every creature. |
