We believe:

1. The Bible, which is verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit in the canonical Scripture as originally given, and is the inerrant and authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21)

2. The triune Godhead in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
a). The Father, who is Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in all his attributes. (John 4:24; Exodus 34:6)
b). The Son, Jesus Christ; his deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, personal exaltation at God’s right hand, and personal return. (John 1:1; Isaiah 7:14; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Acts 1:11)
c). The Holy Spirit, who is a divine person, equal with the Father and the Son, and of the same nature. (John 15:26)

3. The personality of Satan, who is called the devil. (Revelation 20:2)

4. The fall and lost estate of man, whose total depravity makes the new birth necessary. (Romans 5:12; John 3:5)

5. Salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood and substitutionary death of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. (Titus 3:4-7; Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:8)

6. The eternal blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost. (Matthew 25:46; Philippians 3:21)

7. The Church, the bride of Christ: in its universal aspect comprising the whole body of those who have been born of the spirit; and in its local expression established for worship, mutual edification, and witness. (Ephesians 1:22,23; 5:25-32; Acts 15:41; 16,5)

8. Christ’s Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, making disciples, baptizing, and teaching. (Matthew 28:18-20)
