We believe the Bible to be the fully inspired,
infallible, inerrant and authoritative Word of God.
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in
three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in
his virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His
vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and
in His personal return to power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of the lost and
sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit
whose indwelling and filling enables the Christian to live a godly
life.
We believe in the bodily resurrection and judgment of
all men: Believers are resurrected to enjoy eternal life with God
and unbelievers are resurrected to eternal suffering apart from God.
We believe all who are united to the risen and
ascended Son of God are members of Christ's invisible and universal
church. We also believe that the local expressions of the universal
body of Christ are essential in the plan and purpose of God.
We believe the primary responsibility of all who are
saved is to work toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission. All
worldly and personal ambitions should be subordinated to that
supreme command of making disciples.
We believe that human betterment and social justice
are essential products of the Gospel.
