1. We believe the Bible is inspired, the only
infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in
three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3.
We believe
in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth and His
sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death through his shed
blood, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His
personal return to power and glory to establish the millennial kingdom.
4.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful
men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
5.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit,
by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
6.
We believe
the gospel is offered to all men and is received by grace through faith
and the instrumentality of the Holy Spirit, apart from works or human
merit. Salvation centers in a person, Jesus Christ, and receiving Him
includes the remission of sins on the grounds of His finished work, the
imputation of His perfect righteousness, the reception of the Holy
Spirit, and the impartation of eternal life.
7.
We believe
the church is the body of Christ, of which Christ is the head. All
those redeemed by His blood and born of His Spirit are members of that
body and are in mystical union and communion with Christ and fellow
believers. The purpose of the church is to worship God, edify the
saints and evangelize the world.
