The sole basis of our belief is the Bible, composed of sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that the Scripture was uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, and was given through the instrumentality of chosen men.  We hold that the Scriptures are infallible and without error in the original manuscripts. They are the unique, full and final authority on all matters of faith and practice, and there are no other writings similarly inspired by God.

1. There is only one true Holy God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – each of whom possess equally all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of personality.
2. Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, and the second person of the Trinity, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Thus, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
3. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of all men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.
4. He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
5. He ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of the Father where He, the only Mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
6. Man was originally created in the image of God. Man sinned by disobeying God. Thus, he was alienated and separated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
7. Man’s nature is corrupt and in need of the saving grace of God.
8. The salvation of man is wholly a work of God’s free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony, and must be personally appropriated by repentance and faith.
9. The essential accompaniment of a genuine saving relationship with Jesus Christ is a life of holiness and obedience, attained by believers as they submit to the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. At the point of salvation the Holy Spirit permanently indwells every believer.
10. The Holy Spirit guides believers in understanding and applying Scripture. His power and control are appropriated by faith, making it possible for the believer to live with Christ-like character and to bear fruit to the glory of the Father.
11. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
12. Jesus Christ will come again to earth, personally, visibly and bodily, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
13. The Lord Jesus commanded all believers to proclaim the gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nature. The fulfillment of the Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.”
