1) We believe that the Bible consist of sixty-six books that are the inspired word of God. It is inerrant and the final authority of all that we believe and how we are to live (Matthew 5:18; John 10:35; 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21).
2) We believe in ONE GOD, existing and manifesting himself in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that God created the unive
rse and man. He now upholds, sustains, governs, and directs all that exist for his eternal glory (Genesis 1; Hebrews 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16, 17).
3) We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Son of Man. God caused Mary, Jesus’ mother to conceive him without a human father. By this means that the Son of Man took on a human nature and became fully man, apart from sin. This also means that the son of man is fully God (Matthew 1:18-23; Luke 1:26-35; I Corinthians 15:21; Hebrews 2:14).
4) We believe in the fall of man, his moral depravity, and his need for regeneration. Adam fell from the state of righteousness into a state of sin and incurred guilt for the whole human race. All men are consequently incapable of pleasing God by any of their works and incapable of cleansing themselves of guilt. Only God can bring a man into life with the Father and salvation by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Genesis 3, Romans 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3; Ephesians 2:4-10; Romans 3:9-20; John 6:44; John 14:6).
5) We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Christ only. This saving grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight in order that we might be progressively conformed to the image of Christ (John 1:12, 13; 6:37-44; 10:25-30; Acts 16:30,31; Romans 3:4; 8:1-17; 31-39; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12; 13; Titus 3:3-7; I John 1:7, 9).
6) The Personality of the Holy Spirit, who is the seal and witness of salvation. The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force but the personal God. The Holy Spirit is the seal of Salvation meaning that his presence in the believer’s life attests to and makes secure the believers salvation. The Holy Spirit witnesses with the believer’s spirit, gives certainty of faith to the believer, that he/she is God’s child (John 14:16, 17; 16:13-15; Acts 5:3, 4; I Corinthians 2:10; Ephesians 1:13; Romans 8:14-17).
7) We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances of the church to be observed until the time of Christ return. They are no means of Salvation, but are channels of God’s sanctifying grace and blessing to the faithful in Christ Jesus (Matthew 26:26-29; 28:19; Romans 6:3-11; I Corinthians 11:23-34; I Peter 3:21).
8) We believe that the church is God’s primary instrument through which he is fulfilling His redemptive purposes in the earth. To equip the saints for the work of the ministry. We also affirm the priesthood of all believers and the importance of every believer being joined with and actively involved in the community of the saints (Matthew 16:17-19; Acts 2:17-18; Ephesians 3:14-21; 4:11-16; I Tim 2:11-15; I Peter 2:2-10).
9) We believe in the literal second coming of Christ at the end of the age when he returns to the earth personally and visibly to consummate His Kingdom. We also believe in and are praying for the great end- time harvest of souls and the emergence and unprecedented unity, purity and power in the Holy Spirit (Psalms 2:7-9; 22:27, 28; John 14:12; 17:20-26; Romans 11:25-32; I Corinthians 15:20-28; 50-58; Philippians 3:20, 21; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12; Revelation 7:9-14).
10) We believe that when the Christian dies he/she passes immediately into the Presence of the lord, there to enjoy his conscious fellowship with the savior until the day of the resurrection and glorious transformation of the body. The saved will then forever dwell in the blissful fellowship with the great Triune God. We also believe when the unbeliever dies he/she is consigned to Hell, There to await the Day of Judgment when he/she shall be punished with Eternal separation from the presence of God (Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:19-31; John 5:25-29; I Corinthians 15:35-58; 2 Corinthians 5:1-10; Philippians 1:19-26; 3:20, 21; 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10; Revelation 20:11; 15)
