I. The Scriptures
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally and plenary inspired of God, are inerrant in the original writings, and are the infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:16).
II. The Godhead
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (John 1:1,2). These three are equal in every divine perfection and execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation and redemption (John 15:2).
III. The Father
We believe in God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power (Genesis 1:1; Exodus 15:11; Job 12:13; Matthew 9:26). We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer (Matthew 6:6) and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ (John 1:12).
IV. The Son, Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus, Christ, the eternal and only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, sinless in His life, making atonement for the sin of the world by His substitutionary death on the cross. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His present High Priestly intercession for His people (Hebrews 9:24), and His personal, visible, and imminent (Hebrews 9:28) return according to His promise.
V. The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from God to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ (John 16:7,8).
VI. The Salvation of Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26), that he sinned in Adam, and that all men by nature and by choice are sinners having incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from God (Romans 3:23). We also believe that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Therefore, those who by faith, receive Christ as Saviour and Lord are justified on the ground of His shed blood and become children of God. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust (I Corinthians. 15:22; Acts 17:31). The saved will rejoice forever in God’s presence and the lost will be forever separated from God in everlasting conscious punishment. We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith (Jude 24).
VII. The Church
We believe in the Church – a living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated people are members. We believe that a visible Church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, who assemble for worship, work, and fellowship (Ephesians 1:22,23). We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “till He come,” the ordinances of baptism (Matthew 3:13-15) and the Lord’s Supper (I Corinthians 11:23-26). We believe that human betterment and social improvements are essential products of the Gospel. We believe that Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling it’s duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.
VIII. The Responsibility
We believe that we are privileged and divinely charged to hold forth the Word of Life, and thereby proclaim to a lost world the need to personally receive Jesus Christ as Saviour, and enthrone Him as Lord and Master (Jude 3, Acts 16:30, Col. 3:1-3).
