We believe that the Bible, consisting of Old and New Testaments
only, is verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, is inerrant
in the original manuscripts, and is the infallible and authoritative
Word of God.
We believe that the one triune God exists
eternally in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Adam, created in the image
of God, was tempted by Satan, the god of this world, and fell.
Because of Adam's sin, all men have guilt imputed, are totally
depraved, and need to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit for
salvation.
We believe that Jesus Christ is God, was
born of a virgin, died vicariously, shed His blood as man's
substitutionary sacrifice, rose bodily, and ascended to heaven,
where He is presently exalted at the Father's right hand.
We believe that salvation consists of the
remission of sins, the imputation of Christ's righteousness,
and the gift of eternal life, received by faith alone, apart
from works.
We believe that the return of Jesus Christ
is imminent, and that it will be visible and personal.
We believe that the saved will be raised
to everlasting life and blessedness in heaven, and that the
unsaved will be raised to everlasting and conscious punishment
in hell.
We believe that the church, the body of
Christ, consists only of those who are born again, who are
baptized by the Holy Spirit into Christ at the time of regeneration,
for whom He now makes intercession in heaven and for whom
He will come again.
We believe that Christ commanded the church
to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature,
baptizing and teaching those who believe.
