1.   We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

          2.   We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

          3.   We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Advocate, and this is the gospel by which we are saved.

          4.   We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men, to give new life to the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.

          5.   We believe that by Grace we have been saved through faith; and this not of our own doing, it is the gift of God - not because of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8,9)

          6.   We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are to be observed by the Church during the present age.

          7.   We believe that the universal Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the Head. We believe that all those who are thus members of the universal Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church.

          8.   We believe in the resurrection of the dead - of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
