We BELIEVE in the Scripture of the Old and New Testament inspired by God and without error in the original writings, and that they are the supreme and final authority in the faith and life.
We BELIEVE in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We BELIEVE that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
We BELIEVE that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is eternal separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sin nature.
We BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all that place their faith in him are justified on the basis of Christ’s shed blood.
We BELIEVE in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven and in his present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.
We BELIEVE in the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We BELIEVE that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
We BELIEVE in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
