About the Bible
- We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only trustworthy and
authoritative word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
About God
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 2:18).
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in
His sinless life, in His miracles, in His perfect and atoning sacrifice of
death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand
of the Father, and in His personal, visible, and physical return in power and
glory (Matthew 1:20-23; 1 Corinthians 15:1-7; Acts 1:10-11; 1 Thessalonians
4:14-18).
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who lives inside
those who are Christians so that they may live a godly life (John
16:7-14; Galatians 5:16-26).
About Salvation
- We believe in salvation by God’s grace alone, received as a gift of God
through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work
(Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; 1 Peter 1:18-19).
- We believe that salvation is only possible by the working of the Holy
Spirit and that man is incapable of rescuing himself from sin or death (Acts
4:12; Romans 5:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18).
About Satan
- We believe in Satan as the great adversary of God and His people, his judgment, and final doom (Revelation 12:1-20; John 12:31; Revelation 20:10).
About Man
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved
to the resurrection of life, and the lost to the resurrection of judgment
(Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:11-15).
- We believe in the local church, her witness to the whole world, the
appropriate use of spiritual gifts, and the observance of the practices of
baptism and communion (Matthew 28:18-20; John 13:1-17; 1 Corinthians 11).
