We believe that the Bible, consisting of Old and New Testaments only, is verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit, is inerrant in the original manuscripts, and is the infallible and authoritative Word of God.
We believe that the one triune God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is God, was born of a virgin, died vicariously, shed His blood as man's substitutionary sacrifice, rose bodily, and ascended to heaven, where He is presently exalted at the Father's right hand, and that His return is imminent, visible and personal.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God and He has a distinct personality. He indwells and empowers “believers” to live the life of Jesus Christ here on earth today
We believe that salvation consists of the remission of sins, the imputation of Christ's righteousness, and the gift of eternal life received by faith alone, in Jesus alone, apart from works. Because of Adam's sin, all people have guilt imputed, are totally depraved, and need to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit for salvation.
We believe that the church, the body of Christ, consists only of those who are born again, who are baptized by the Holy Spirit into Christ at the time of regeneration, for whom He now makes intercession in heaven and for whom He will come again.
We believe that the saved will be raised to everlasting life and blessedness in heaven, and that the unsaved will be raised to everlasting and conscious punishment in hell.
We believe that Christ commanded the church to go into the whole world and preach the gospel to every person, baptizing and teaching those who believe.
We believe that the church being the only institution that does not exist for itself is the primary agent of transformation and living hope on earth
