that there is one living and true God, eternally
existing in three persons, equal in power and
glory: the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
in God the Father-an infinite, personal Spirit,
perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We
believe that He mercifully concerns Himself in the
affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer,
and that He saves from sin and death all who come
to Him through faith in Jesus
Christ.
in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son. We
believe that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and was born to a virgin. We believe in His sinless
life, miracles, and teaching. We believe in His
substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection,
and ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession
for His people, and His personal, visible return to
this earth.
in the Holy Spirit, who, through the Father and
Son, convicts the world of sin and righteousness.
We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates,
sanctifies, and empowers for ministry, all who
believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy
Spirit indwells those who believe in Jesus Christ,
and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and
guide.
that the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments is
the Word of God. We believe that it is inspired,
infallible, and without error in its original
manuscripts. The Scripture is the standard and
guide for all Christian faith and
practice.
that all people are sinners by nature and by
choice, and are, therefore, under condemnation. We
believe that God, by the Holy Spirit, regenerates
those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus
Christ as Lord.
in the universal church, which is a living
spiritual body. We believe that Jesus Christ is its
head, and that all regenerated persons are
members.
that Jesus committed two ordinances to the church:
1) Baptism and 2) the Lord's Supper.
in the personal, visible return of Christ to the
earth, and subsequent establishment of His kingdom.
We believe in the resurrection of the body, the
final judgment, the eternal blessing of the
righteous, and the endless suffering of the
wicked.
in the prayer referred to as the Apostles' Creed,
and that it embodies the fundamental facts of the
Christian faith.
