We believe . . . that the Bible is
the verbally inspired Word of God and without mistakes
as originally written. It is the complete revelation of
His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of
faith and practice for the Christian life.
We believe . . . in one God, Creator of
all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal
and of equal dignity and power.
We believe . . . in the deity of Jesus
Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit;
His 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.
We believe . . . that man was created
by and for God; that by man's disobeying God, every
person incurred spiritual death, which is separation
from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that
all people are sinners by nature and practice.
We believe . . . the Lord Jesus Christ
died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are
declared righteous because of His sacrificial death and
are, therefore, in the right relationship with God.
We believe . . . in the present
ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and
thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of
the believer.
We believe . . . in the bodily
resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting
blessedness of those in right relationship with God, and
the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected
God's forgiveness in His Son.
