- We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21)
- We believe that there is one God (I Cor.8:6, Eph. 4:6), eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Eph. 2:18, II Cor.13:14, Matt. 28:19.)
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1-14), in His virgin birth (Matt. 1:18-25), in His sinless life (Heb. 4:15, II Cor. 5:21), in His miracles (John 2:11, 3:2), in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood (I Peter 2:24, 3:18), in His bodily resurrection (Acts 2:24, 10:40), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Matt. 16:19), and in His personal visible return in power and glory (Luke 21:27.)
- We believe that man was created by God in His own image (Gen. 1:27) , that he sinned and thereby incurred physical, spiritual, and eternal death (Rom. 3:12-19). Consequently, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and by choice are therefore under condemnation (Rom. 1:20, Eph. 4:22).
- We believe that those who repent and forsake sin and trust Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit (Acts 3:19, Col 2:13) and become new creatures, delivered from condemnation and receive eternal life (II Cor. 5:17.)
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (John 14:17, I John 2:27.)
- 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 (Acts 24:15, 3:8, Luke 16:22-26.)
- We believe that heaven and hell are definite places. (II Cor. 5:1; Mt. 10:28)
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (I Cor.1:10, John 17:21.)
- We believe in the literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis in the description of creation. We believe that the world and everything in it was created in six days. We further believe that these were literal 24-hour days, and that there were no evolutionary processes active. We believe that every species of plant, animal, bird, and fish were created in a complete form. While mutations and the environment have modified species over time, these species were complete in the original creation. We further believe that man was also created as a complete and perfect being unlike all other created beings. He is not a descendent of any other species that God created.
