WHAT WE BELIEVE:

The Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God

2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13

That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

Deut. 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matt. 28:18; Luke 3:22; John 14:16; 1 Cor. 8:4-6

In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ

John 1:1, 14; 20:28-29; Philippians 2:6-11; Isaiah 9:6; Col. 2:9; Heb. 1:8-13

His virgin birth

Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:34-35; Isaiah 7:14

His Sinless Life

Cor. 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; 7:26-27; 1 John 3:5; 1 Peter 2:22

His miracles

Matthew 4:23; Luke 6:17-19; John 3:2

His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood

Colossians 1:14, 20-22; Romans 5:8, 9-11, Ephesians 1:7

His bodily resurrection

Corinthians 15:3-4; Luke 24:4-7, 36-48; Rev. 1:17

His ascension to the right hand of the Father,

Acts 2:33, 5:30-31; 1 Peter 3:22 and in His personal return in power and gloryActs 1:11, John 14:1-3; 1 Thes. 4:13-18

That justification by faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful people

Romans 3:24-25; John 3:3-7; Ephesians 2:1-16; Revelation 5:9; 1 Corinthians 6:11

The prime agency for the work of God's Kingdom is the Christian local church functioning under the sovereignty of our Lord Jesus Christ. To the church have been entrusted the ordinances of Believer's Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Acts 2:41-47; Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit which includes: The Baptism in the Holy Spirit as an experience distinct from regeneration; His indwelling, by which the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; His supernatural gifting and empowering of the Church for its work, life and worship

Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:1-4, 10:44-46; 1 Corinthians 12, 14

In the return of Jesus Christ, to consummate His Kingdom, in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

John 5:28-29; Mark 14:62; Revelation 1:7; 20:4-5; 11-12
