1. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of
God. As such it is the sole and final authority
for our beliefs and our practices.
2. We believe man is unique, created in the image
of God by the direct act of God. We believe that
man fell from his original innocence and glory through
sin. He is now a sinner by nature and by choice,
lost, unable to save himself.
3. We believe there is but one true God eternally
existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
4. We believe that salvation is a free gift from
the Triune God. We are saved by the grace of God
through faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God, who
died on the cross for our sins. He arose bodily,
ascended to God, there to pray for the needs of
the saved. We believe the Holy Spirit works out
the salvation experience within the heart. He first
convicts of sin. He works the new birth in the heart
of one believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. His presence
in the believer makes the Christian life possible.
5. We believe Christ shall come again. We believe
in a resurrection of the dead, both the just and
the unjust. We believe in judgment to come.
6. We believe that salvation by grace should produce
a life characterized by love and good works.
7. We believe in the priesthood of all believers
who make up the local New Testament church and who
are to carry out the Great Commission until His
return.
