We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that they are equal in power and glory and that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.
We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. He mercifully concerns Himself in the affairs of men. He hears and answers prayer and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teaching; His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people; and His personal, visible return to earth.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ for ministry. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the biblical gifts for the Holy Spirit.
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and choice and therefore are under condemnation and that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
We believe that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and empowers believers for service, often subsequent to regeneration by the Spirit.
We believe in the universal church, the living, spiritual body, of which Christ is the head, and that all regenerated persons are members.
We believe that Jesus committed two ordinances to the church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
We believe in baptism by immersion and Communion for all believers.
We believe also in the laying on of hands for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, for the ordination of pastors, elders, and deacons, and in receiving of healing from the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the personal, visible return of Christ to the earth and the establishing of His kingdom; the resurrection of the body; the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous; and the endless suffering of the wicked.
We believe in what is termed “the Apostle’s Creed” as embodying the fundamental facts of Christian faith.
