| We Believe: 1. The Holy Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments, is the uniquely-inspired, inerrant, infallible word of God as originally given. It remains completely trustworthy and is the supreme and final authority we adhere to in all matters of faith and conduct.
2. There is only one God in essence, who being the originator of eternity, has always existed and is revealed in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. Our Lord Jesus Christ, begotten in the flesh through the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, is God manifested in the flesh, who alone lived a sinless human life. He is the sole mediator between God and humanity.
4. God created humankind in His own image. Through the fall of Adam, humanity became corrupt and alienated from God. Every human, being lost and sinful, is incapable of restoring his/her broken fellowship with God.
5. The eternal salvation of lost and sinful humanity is accomplished solely by God's grace through faith. It is not by our works that we are saved, but through the atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
6. The Lord Jesus Christ was buried and rose bodily from the grave on the third day; who ascended into heaven and will return physically at an appointed time known only to God, in power and glory to judge both the living and the dead.
7. The Holy Spirit draws us to the living Word of God thus regenerates, sanctifies, comforts and teaches the redeemed, Thus enables and empowers the believer to live a holy life, set apart to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
8. The redeemed are united in the Holy Spirit, and comprise the Christian church; the body and bride of Christ.
9. The resurrection of both the lost and the redeemed will occur; those that are lost inherit outer darkness and are forever alienated from God, and those that are saved inherit everlasting life, joy and fellowship with God. |
