- WE BELIEVE
 The Scriptures to be divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, and the absolute Word of God.
-
- There is one God, eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
-
- In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary work and death on the cross, bodily resurrection from the dead, and ascension to the right hand of God the Father.
-
- In the creation of man by God and the fall of mankind into sin as recorded in Genesis.
-
- In a literal hell for unbelievers and in heaven for the redeemed who have received Christ as their Saviour, according to John 14:6.
-
- In the substitutionary blood atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, once made, eternally all sufficient for the sins of all men. The necessity of the new birth for every man, obtained by faith through Christ alone. The inward evidence of salvation is a direct witness of the spirit. The outward evidence to all men is a Christian life with visible fruits and love according to Matthew 7:20 and John 13:35.
-
- The church is a body composed of justified believers, and not merely an organization.
-
- In the ordinance of baptism by immersion for the believers, and the Lord's Supper.
-
- In the baptism of the Holy Spirit obtainable by a definite act of faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, according to Acts 2:4 and in the manifestation of spiritual gifts such as healing, according to 1 Corinthians 12: 7-11.
-
- In the rapture and the resurrection of the dead saints to be with Christ eternally according to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, and in the resurrection of the sinner to a lost eternity according to John 5:28-29.
