- THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2
Timothy 3:16,17).
- THE ETERNAL GODHEAD
We believe God is Triune: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).
- THE FALL OF MAN
We believe that man was created in the
image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell
from perfection (Romans 5:12).
- THE PLAN OF SALVATION
We believe that while we were yet
sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who
believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
- SALVATION THROUGH GRACE
We believe that we have no
righteousness and must come to God pleading the
righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8).
- REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE
We believe that upon sincere
repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are
justified before God (I John 1:9).
- THE NEW BIRTH
We believe that the change which takes
place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one
(2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
- DAILY CHRISTIAN LIVING
We believe that it is the will of God
that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith
(Hebrews 6:1).
- BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER
We believe that baptism by immersion is
an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19). We believe
in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic
use of the bread and juice of the vine (I Corinthians 11:24,
25).
- BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Baptism with the
Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that
His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days (Acts
2:4).
- THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
We believe that it is the will of God
that we walk in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32).
- THE GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit has
gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should show
spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (I
Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22).
- MODERATION
We believe that the experience and
daily walk of the believer should never lead him into
extremes of fanaticism (Philippians 4:5).
- DIVINE HEALING
We believe that divine healing is the
power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer to the
prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).
- THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We believe that the second coming of
Christ is personal and imminent (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17).
- CHURCH RELATIONSHIP
We believe it is our sacred duty to
identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ (Acts
16:5; Hebrews 10:25).
- CIVIL GOVERNMENT
We believe that rulers should be upheld
at all times except in things opposed to the will of God
(Romans 13:1-5).
- THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
We believe that all shall stand some
day before the judgement seat of God, and there receive
eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).
- HEAVEN
We believe that Heaven is the glorious
eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3;
Revelation 7:15-17).
- HELL
We believe that hell is the place of
eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Savior
(Revelation 20:10,15).
- EVANGELISM
We believe that soul winning is the
most important responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).
- TITHES AND OFFERINGS
We believe that the method ordained of
God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving of
tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians
9:7).
