THE SCRIPTURES We believe the Holy Bible, composed of the sixty-six books both of the Old and New Testaments, is God's Revelation unto man, and was written without error by men divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit, and is therefore the sole authority in all matters of faith and practice, and is the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions be tried. 

 THE TRUE GOD We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

a.  God the Father -  We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, boundless in love, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power.  We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayers, and that He saves from sin and death all that come to Him through Jesus Christ, His Son.

b.  God the Son -  We believe in Jesus Christ, God the Son, pre-existent with the Father, begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary: sinless in His nature and life.  Infallible in His teaching, making atonement for the sins of the world by His substitutionary death on the cross.  We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into Heaven, His perpetual intercession for His people and His glorious second advent according to promise.  We believe in the promise of His second coming.

c.  God the Holy Spirit -  We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit.  We believe that He came from God to convince and convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment: and to regenerate, sanctify, indwell, and comfort and empower those who believe in Jesus Christ.

 MAN We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only the physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God.  We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought and deed by choice.

 SATAN We believe in the reality and personality of Satan.

 SALVATION We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who by faith receive Him as their personal Savior, are justified on the ground of His blood shed on Calvary and His resurrection from the dead and are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become the children of God.

 THE CHURCH We believe that every human being has direct relations with God, and is responsible to God alone in all matters of all faith; that each church is independent and autonomous, and must be free from any interference by an ecclesiastical or political authority, that therefore the 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.

 LAST THINGS We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead, the saved to eternal life and blessedness in Heaven and the unsaved to eternal conscious suffering and woe in Hell (John 5:29).

 ASSURANCE We believe in the eternal security of the believer.  (John 10:27-29)

 CHRISTIAN LIVING We believe that every saved person should manifest the Christian life in a consistent walk in the Holy Spirit, fully and constantly yielding his members to the indwelling Christ, so that he may always be in life and word showing forth the praises of Him who has called him out of darkness into His marvelous light.
