We know the following to be true through faith:
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative word of God revealing the love of God to the world and his plan to restore mankind through Jesus Christ into paradise for eternity. (1 Thes 2:13; 2 Tim 3:15-17; John 3:16.)
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Mat 28:19; John 10:30; Eph 4:4-6.)
3. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his vicarious and atoning death through his shed blood on the cross, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father and in his personal return in power and glory. (Mat 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Rom 8:34; 1 Cor 15:3-4; 2 Cor 5:21; Phil 2:5-11; Heb 1:1-4 and 4:15.)
4. We believe that all mankind are lost and face the judgment of God. Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation and for the salvation of lost and sinful mankind, surrendering our lives to Jesus Christ and repentance of all our sins results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven and that he will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell.
(Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Rom 3:23; 2 Cor 5:10-11; Eph 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7.)
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables Christians to live a godly life and glorify God in everything they do.
(John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Rom 8:9; 1 Cor 2:14; Gal 5:16-18; Eph 6:12; Col 2:6-10; Isa 43:7.)
6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of his body, the Ecclesia (community).
(1 Cor 12:12, 27; Eph 1:22-23, Mat 16:18.)
7. We believe that the ministry of evangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ) and discipleship (helping followers of Christ grow up into maturity in Christ) is a responsibility in some fashion of all followers of Jesus Christ.
(Mat 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Rom 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.)
8. We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of sanctified marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other. God instituted monogamous sanctified marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that sanctified marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.
(Gen 2:24; Mat 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Rom 1:26-27; 1 Cor 6:9.)
9. We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism.
(Mat 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Rom 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Gal 6:10; Col 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15.)
10. We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen.
(Psalm 139:13; Isa 49:1; Jer 1:5; Mat 22:37-39; Rom 12:20-21; Gal 6:10.)
