We believe:

1. The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man, and the authority for Christian faith and life. (Psalm 119:89; II Tim. 3:16-17; II Peter 1:21; Rev. 22:18-19)

2. In one God, who is the Creator of man and all things, absolutely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Ger. 1:1; Deut. 6:40; Isa.44:6; Matt. 28:19; Cor. 13:14)

3. That Jesus Christ is both true God and true man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He was crucified for our iniquities, was buried, on the third day arose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven He is now our High Priest and Advocate at the right hand of God. (Matt. 1:18, 22-23; John 1:1-14; Rom 1:2-4; I Cor. 15:1-4; Heb. 7: 22-25, 8:1; I John 2:11)

4. That the Holy Spirit is equal in substance and glory with God the Father and the Son. That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict man, 2 regenerate sinners, indwell, guide and empower believers for godly living and service. (John 14:16, 26: 16:7-14; Rom. 8:9-16, 26-27: 1 John 2:27)

5. That man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and can obtain salvation and spiritual life only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:27; John 3:5, 7; Rom, 1:18, 3:23, 5:12, 18-19)

6. That salvation is by grace alone, through faith in the shed blood of Jests Christ. Those who thus receive Jesus Christ by faith have their sins forgiven, are born of the Holy Spirit, become children of God, and are made a new creation in Christ. (John 1:12-13, 3:5-8; Rom 3.25; I Cor. 15:3-4; II Cor. 5:17, 20; Eph.1:7, 2:7-8; Heb.9:14; I John l:9)

7. That the local church is under the Headship of Jesus Christ and is to be guided by the Holy Spirit based on the Scriptures for the purpose of the glory of God. (I Cor.11:3, 12:4-6; Col. 1:18)

8. That water baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age as testimonies before God and man. (Matt. 28:18-20; Rom.6: 14; I Cor.11:23-26)

9. That Christian living includes Christian service, the winning of souls around us, and the preaching of the Gospel unto the uttermost parts of the world. (Matt.28:18-20; John 14:12-14; Acts 1:8, 5:32: I Cor. 12:7; Eph.3:20, 6:18-19)
