1.  We believe the Bible is the declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us (Luke 1:1). The Bible is inspired by God (II Peter 1:21, II Timothy 3:16, Matthew 5:18), is His revealed word and will to man (I Thess. 2:13), and is without error in the original documents. It is our supreme and final authority and guide in all matters of faith and practice (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:105, Mt. 4:4, II Tim. 3:15). God has preserved His word for us (Psalm 19:89) and we therefore should obey it.

2.  There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), eternally existing (Deuteronomy 33:27) in three persons (Matthew 28:19): Father (Ephesians 4:6), Son (John 1:1, John 1:14) and Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:14, Acts 5:3, 4, II Corinthians 13:14).

3.  God the Son entered human history as a man - Christ Jesus (I Timothy 3:16). He was born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:35), having been supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20). While here upon the earth, Jesus was, in one personality, both truly God and truly man (John 10:33). While on earth, He lived a perfect and sinless life and then died on the cross, having offered Himself without spot to God as the sacrifice for our sins (I Peter 2:24). He rose bodily from the dead (Luke 24:39) and ascended to His Father's right hand in heaven (Ephesians 1:20), there to appear as our Great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16, 9:24).

4.  We believe that man was created innocent by God (Gen. 1:26, 27) and that he deliberately sinned and incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.  All human beings are born with a sinful nature (Romans 3:23, 5:12). Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of man (Titus 3:5, Romans 8:9).  Redemption is solely by the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:12-14, I Peter 1:18-19).  Salvation is by grace, through faith, in our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8, 9, Acts 4:10-12, Acts 16:31).  Every true child of God possesses eternal life and is safe for all eternity (John 3:16, 5:24, 10:27-29). Each believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit who seals them unto the day of redemption. (Ephesians 1:13-14, 4:30).

5.  We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust (John 5:28, 29, I Corinthians 15:51-55, Rev. 20:12, 13), the everlasting blessedness of the saved (Phil. 1:23, Rev. 22: 4, 5), and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost (Revelation 20:10, Matthew 25:46).  We believe that there is life after death and that preparation for eternity must be made before death (Heb. 9:27, 28).

6.  We believe in the personal, pre-tribulation, imminent return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to receive His church (I Thessalonians 4:14-18, Titus 2:13, Acts 1:11, Hebrews 9:28), and that believers are saved from the wrath to come (Romans 5:9, I Thessalonians 1:10, 5:9, Revelation 3:10).

7. The church, referred to as the Body and Bride of Christ (Ephesians 1:22, 23, 5: 22-33), is composed of all persons who truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour.  Every believer is baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 12:12-27, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 1:24).  Jesus Christ is the head of the church (Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 5:23, 24) and the church is subject unto Christ.  The local church is the expression, in any locality, of the church universal. It is composed of believers who gather as a corporate testimony to the Lordship of Christ and the oneness of the body of Christ (I Cor. 3:16, Colossians 1:18, John 17:21, Ephesians 4:4).

8.  We observe the two ordinances left by the Lord Jesus Christ for His people: Baptism by immersion (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, 5) and The Lord's Supper (Luke 22:19-20).  Baptism is for believers upon confession of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 8:35-39, Romans 6:3-5).  The Lord's Supper was commemorated by the early churches on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7), and we believe it is the privilege and duty of all true believers to heed the Lord's request, "This do in remembrance of me" (I Corinthians 11:24).
