We believe that there is one God (Duet. 6:4; Colossians 1:16), eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14), yet one in being, essence, power, and glory, having the same attributes and pverfections (John 10:30).
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the plenarily inspired Word of God (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). We believe the Bible is inerrant in the original writings, infallible, God-breathed and the complete and final authority for faith and practice (2 Peter 1:20-21).
We believe that the eternal Son of God became incarnate in the Lord Jesus Christ, being born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. He died physically on the cross and was bodily resurrected three days later. (John 1:1,14,18; 5:18; Heb. 1:1-9; 5:8; I John 5:20; I Tim. 2:5;I Cor. 15:1-5).
We believe that man came into being by direct creation of God and that man is made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27).
We believe that the human race inherited a sinful nature (Romans 5:12); that sin is universal in man (Romans 3:23); and that God hates sin but loves the sinner (John 3:16). Therefore, all men are guilty and in a lost condition apart from redemption, which comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. (Romans 10:9-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
We believe that Salvation is a gift of God's grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9). We believe that Christ "gave Himself as a ransom for all men" (I Tim.2:6) to accomplish justification through faith, propitiation to God, redemption from sin, and reconciliation of man, for all who might believe in Him. (Romans 5:8-9; 1 Peter 2:24, Romans 10:9).
We believe that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:1; 1 Corinthians 6:19) and that Christian liberty should never serve as an occasion to the flesh (Galatians 5:13).
We believe that the Church, which is the body and bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of this present age (1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:25-27). We also believe that the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) is the primary mission of the Church.
