We
believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only
infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We
believe that there is one God, eternally existent in
three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We
believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in
His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His
miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through
His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His
ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in
His personal return in power and glory.
We
believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful
people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential.
We
believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit
by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live
a godly life.
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.
We
believe that God admonishes His people to assemble
together regularly for worship, for participation in
sacraments, for edification through the Scriptures
and for mutual encouragement.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ commanded all
Believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the
world and to disciple men of every nation. The
fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that
all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated
to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave
Himself for us."
We believe that Jesus Christ will come again to the
earth -- personally, visibly and bodily -- to
consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
