THE BIBLE: I believe that the entire Bible in its original writing is verbally inspired by God, and is of
plenary authority. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pe. 1:20-21)
THE GODHEAD: I believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; John 10:30; Eph. 4:4-6)
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit and
born of the virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
(Luke 1:35; Isa. 7:14; John 1:1-14)
TOTAL DEPRAVITY: I believe that all persons, by nature, are sinners, and therefore, are totally
unable to make themselves acceptable to God.
(Eph. 2:1-3; Rom. 3:9-23; 8:5-9)
REDEMPTION: I believe that a person can be redeemed from the consequences of sin only through
the voluntary, substitutionary death of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross of Calvary; and that His
blood has accomplished, once and for all, complete redemption.
(Rom. 3:23-26; Eph 1:7; Col. 1:20-22; Heb. 10:10-14)
SALVATION: I believe that a person by faith receives salvation and that it is a gift apart from works. I believe that a person who trust in the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ is justified freely by
God's grace. (Rom. 4:5; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7)
BELIEVER'S WALK: I believe that as Christians, we should consciously endeavor to manifest the
quality of life that truly pleases and glorifies God. (Rom. 12:1-2; 13:12-14; Eph. 4:17; 6:20; 1 Thess. 4:1)
LIFE: I believe that all human beings are made in the image of God, created as male and female
(Gen. 1:26-27; 9:6; Ps. 139:13-14), and thus, every human being has been granted by God the right to
life from conception until his/her natural death. The intentional killing of an innocent human being
violates God's lasting commandment, "You shall not murder" (Ex. 20:13).
THE HOLY SPIRIT: I believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, who
regenerates, baptizes, indwells, enlightens, and empowers the saved.
(John 16:7-14; 1 Cor. 12:1-13; Eph. 1:13-14; 5:18)
THE CHURCH: I believe that in the present dispensation there is only one Church based on the
teachings of the Bible, which is called the Body of Christ and composed of all the saved of this age.
(1 Cor. 12:12-13; Eph. 1:22-23; 3:1-12)
MARRIAGE: I believe that marriage is a divinely instituted covenant, a sacred bond between one
man and one woman (Mt. 19:4-6; Gen. 2:22, 24; Eph. 5:22-33) and that God has designed sexual
relations to be enjoyed only within the God-ordained marriage relationship (Heb. 13:4). We believe
that pre-marital sex, pornography, and adultery are harmful to the holy covenant of marriage
(Mt. 5:27-28; Ex. 20:14).
MISSION: I believe that the mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel of the grace of God in
order that God may take out from among the nations a people for His name.
(Acts 20:24; Rom. 1:1-5; 2 Cor. 5:11-21)
RESURRECTION: I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was resurrected bodily from the dead, and He
will raise from the dead both the just and unjust. The just to a resurrection unto life and the unjust to
a resurrection of condemnation. (John 5:25-29; 20:24-29; Acts 24:14-15; 1 Cor. 15:4-18)
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST: I believe that Jesus will one day return to call the saints of this
age home (1 Cor. 15:51-52; Phil. 3:20-21; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-15), and that He will also return
to fulfill His kingdom promise. (John 14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11; Rev. 20:4-6)
