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).
