1. We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative
Word of God (II Timothy 3:15, II Peter 1:21).
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
3. We believe in the creation of man, an immediate direct act of God
(Genesis 2:7).
4. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 10:33);
in His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35); in His
sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:26); in His miracles (John 2:11);
in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood (Hebrews
9:12, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:13); in His bodily resurrection
(John 11:25, I Corinthians 15:4); in His ascension to the right hand
of the Father (Mark 16:19); and in His personal return in power and
glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11).
5. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration
sovereignly applied by the Holy Spirit and evidenced by a living faith
in Christ is absolutely essential (Romans 3:19, 23, John 3:16-19,
John 5:24, Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5-6).
6. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose
indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life (Ephesians
5:18, Ephesians 4:30, I Corinthians 3:16, I Corinthians 6:19-20).
7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost;
they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are
lost unto the resurrection of damnation (I John 5:28-29).
8. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus
Christ (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28).
9. We believe that Christians are prohibited from bringing civil lawsuits
against other Christians, Christian ministries or a church to resolve
personal disputes. We believe the church possesses all the resources
necessary to resolve personal disputes between members (I Corinthians
6:1-8, Ephesians 4:31-32).
