BELIEFS

1. The Word of God—Bible—is without error in the original writings, literally “God- breathed”.

2. There is one true and living eternal God (Isaiah 46:9), Creator of heaven and earth (Deuteronomy 6:4).

3. Jesus Christ is God Himself (John 10:30), who took upon His deity full humanity, to be the perfect and sinless God man (Philippians 2:4-10).

4. The Holy Spirit’s ministry in the present Church Age is to glorify Jesus Christ (John 16:14); to convict (John 16:8), indwell (1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 5:18), guide, or lead us to all truth (John 16:13); and to empower believers to live godly and holy lives (Galatians 5:16-26).

5. All people are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27).

6. Salvation is totally a work of God in grace (Ephesians 2:8-9).

7. Water baptism (Acts 2:41) and the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:23-26) are ordinances to be observed by the church during the present age. However, they are not to be regarded as a means for salvation.

8. The New Testament Church is the universal, worldwide body of born again (John 3:3-8), Spirit-indwelt believers (1 Corinthians 6:19) in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is their Head (Colossians 1:18).

9. Only those who are regenerated through the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:3-5), through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9), and are thus members of the universal church shall be eligible for membership in the local church (1 Corinthians 12:13).

10. With Jesus Christ as the Lord and True Head (Ephesians 1:22-23) of the local church, the local church then has the right, under Christ, to decide its own affairs (1 Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 4:12-16).

11. We believe in the personal (Zechariah 14:1-4), bodily and glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:3; Matthew 24:27-31). The coming of Christ, at a time known only to God, demands constant expectancy and, as our blessed hope (Titus 2:13), motivates the believer to godly living, sacrificial service and energetic mission (1 John 3:2-3).

12. The dead will be bodily resurrected: the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment (1 Corinthians 15:35-55; Revelation 20:11-15).

13. God created man (Genesis 1:26-28) and woman after His own image (Genesis 2:18-24), and that God has ordained marriage (Malachi 2:15-16), consisting of one man and one woman (Mark 10:5-9), to be the foundation of the family (Ephesians 5:21-33) and to be the only legitimate and Godly expression of sexuality (I Corinthians 7:2-5, Hebrews 13:4).
