The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. The following statement of truth is not to be exhaustive, but to be simply a common expression of faith.
- We believe God has revealed Himself as one God, existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; distinguishable, but, indivisible in essence, co-eternal, co-equal and co-existent in attributes, power, nature, and glory, Creator of all things.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was conceived after the Holy Spirit came upon the Virgin Mary and the power of the Most High overshadowed her. Jesus was crucified, died, was buried, and resurrected. Jesus ascended into Heaven and now is seated at the right hand of God the Father and is God and true man.
- We believe the Bible, in its entirety, to be the inspired Word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and conduct.
- We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal joy of the saved and the eternal punishment off the unsaved.
- We believe in personal salvation of believers through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
- We believe in sanctification through the Word of God by the Holy Spirit, expressed in personal holiness of the heart and life.
- We believe in divine healing, through faith in the name of Jesus Christ, and that healing is included in the atonement.
- We believe in water baptism (preferring immersion) as a declaration of the Lordship of Jesus Christ: with Christ in baptism and raised with Him in newness of life.
- We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit being available to all believers.
- We believe in the soon-coming, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe in intensive world evangelism and missionary work in accordance with the Great Commission, with signs following. (Matthew 28: 19)
- We believe in the Church as the body of Christ, the indwelling of God through the Spirit, with each born-again believer as an integral part.
