The Authority of the Bible. That the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the verbally inspired Word of God, they are without error in the original writings, and they are the complete and final revelation of God.
The Triunity of God. There is only one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Who are co-equal in their essential nature, attributes, and perfection; and each of Whom is to be honored and worshiped as God.
The Person of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Son of God , the promised Messiah, conceived in the flesh by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, true God and true man, without sin, and the only mediator between God and Man.
A Ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables men to walk in obedience to God and His Word. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, who inspired the prophets and apostles of old; who indwells, empowers and distributes spiritual gifts to be exercised by the believers for spiritual edification of the church; and who convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 14:26; II Peter 1:21; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 12:4-11; Ephesians 4: 11-12; John 16:8).
The Two Ordinances of the Church. Two ordinances have been committed to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s supper. We believe that the ordinance of water baptism should be observed by all who have really repented and in their hearts they gave truly believed in Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness live (Matthew 28:19-30; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:1-4). We believe that the Lords’ Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ; a memorial of His suffering and death; and a prophecy of His coming; and is enjoined on all believers “until He Comes” (II Peter 1:4; I Corinthians 11:23-26).
Coming of Great Events. One of the coming great events in the fulfillment of prophecy concerning the church is the personal, bodily return of the Lord to remove from the earth His waiting church and to reward them according to their works. He will raise the dead and judge all human beings, the wicked shall be separated from God’s presence, but the righteous shall live with Him forever (Revelation 20:1-7; Revelation 19:11-14; John 3:16; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:10-15).
