Our Beliefs:1. There is one God,(1) who is infinitely perfect,(2) existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.(3) ([1] Deuteronomy 6:4, [2] Matthew 5:48, [3] Matthew 28:19) 2. Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man.(4) He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.(5) He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust,(6) as a substitutionary sacrifice,(7) and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.(8) He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures.(9) He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest.(10) He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness and peace.(11) ([4] Philippians 2:6-11, [5] Luke 1:34–38, [6] I Peter 3:18, [7] Hebrews 2:9, [8] Romans 5:9, [9] Acts 2:23–24, [10] Hebrews 8:1, [11] Matthew 26:64)
3.
The Holy Spirit is a divine person,(12) sent to dwell, guide, teach, empower
the believer,(13) and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of
judgment.(14) ([12] John 14:15–18, [13] John 16:13, Acts 1:8, [14] John
16:7–11)
5.
Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God:(16) he fell
through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death.
All men are born with a sinful nature,(17) are separated from the life of
God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus
Christ.(18) The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence
forever
6.
Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who
repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the
gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.(21) ([21] Titus 3:4–7)
9. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, (27) which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations.(28) The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.(29) ([27] Ephesians 1:22–23, [28] Matthew 28:19–20, [29] Acts 2:41–47) 10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life;(30) for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.(31) ([30] 1 Corinthians 15:20–23, [31] John 5:28–29) 11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent(32) and will be personal, visible, and pre-millennial.(33) This is the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.(34) ([32] Hebrews 10:37, [33] Luke 21:27, [34] Titus 2:11–14)
