We believe... That the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the full revelation of His will leading to salvation and is the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for Christians.
In one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are in essence One and co-eternal and of equal dignity and power.
In the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception and virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
That man was created by and for God; that by man's disobeying God, every human incurred spiritual death, which is separation and alienation from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by nature and practice.
That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him and turn from their sin are declared righteous because of His sin-atoning death and are restored to right relationship with God. We believe that this "saving faith" result in obvious fruit in the believer's life.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all true believers. We believe that the Holy Spirit will subsequently fill and empower for victorious life and fruitful service those Christians who ask and believe Him to do so.
In the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, those in right relationship with God to everlasting blessedness and those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son to everlasting punishment.
