- We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old & New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God (Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalms 12:6; 33:4; 119:86; 119:160; Mark 13:31, John 17:17; 2nd Timothy 3:16; 2nd Peter 20 & 21).
- We believe there is one God, eternally existent and manifested as Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:26; Exodus 20:1-5; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Luke 17:3; Galatians 4:4-6)
- We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-3), His virgin birth (Matthew 1:18-23; Luke 1:35), his sinless life (2nd Corinthians 5:21; 1st Peter 1:19), in the atoning power of His Blood (John 3:14-17; Hebrews 10:10-20), in His bodily resurrection (Matthew 28:1-6, 1st Corinthians 15:3-8) in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (John 20:17; Acts 1-9), and in His personal return to Earth in Power and glory ( Matthew 24:27-31; Luke 21:27-36).
- We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (John 3:3-8; Ephesians 3:1-5; Titus 3:5).
- We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling power the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life in this present and evil world (Romans 8:1-4, 9-16, 23, 26 & 27; Galatians 5:17-25).
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved. They that are saved to eternal life and they that are unsaved unto eternal damnation (Matthew 25:46; John 5:28-29).
- We believe that Water Baptism and the Lord's supper are ordinances to be observed by the church in this present age (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 16:16; John 3:5; Acts 2:38, 10,:44-48, 11:14; 1st Corinthians 1:16).
- We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:2, 4, 16-17, 38-39, 8:17, 10:44-48; 19:1-6)and in the empowering of individuals with the gifts of the Holy Spirit for works of service (1st Corinthians 12:1-1, 28-29).
