CREATION

          1. We believe that man was created by God in His own image, but fell into sin. As a result, the entire human race is lost and can only obtain salvation and spiritual life through repentance, faith in Christ Jesus and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

THE TRINITY

          2. We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

JESUS CHRIST THE SON

          3. We believe Jesus Christ, without changing His eternal Deity, became man born of a virgin through the Holy Spirit. Likewise, He suffered and died on the cross for our sins as the complete and perfect sacrifice in our place as written in the scriptures. He rose bodily from the dead on the third day and ascended to heaven where he is now our High Priest and Advocate at the right hand of the Father.

HOLY SPIRIT: COUNSELOR AND GUIDE

          4. We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ and convince the world of sin during this era, as well as regenerate the sinner upon their belief in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit baptizes the believer at the moment of regeneration and remains to dwell, guide, instruct, fill, and empower the believer to live and serve sincerely.

THE CHURCH

          5. We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ and is composed of all those persons who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit though saving faith in Jesus Christ and that have been drawn to His Body of which He is the Head.
          6. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead and that those who reject Christ will resurrect for judgment and eternal and conscious punishment.

HOLY BIBLE

          7. We believe that the Holy Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original text; they are the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man and the divine and absolute authority for all faith, life, and Christian conduct.

SALVATION

          8. We believe all those who have been saved should live in a way that honors and glorifies their Lord and Savior, and should not bring any reproach upon Him. Likewise, we believe that it is the mandate of God to remain separated from false doctrines, pleasures, practices and sinful associations.
          9. We believe in the quick personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ and this hope of glory has a vital importance in the daily life and personal service of the believer.
          10. We believe that the atoning death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only means of justification and salvation for all those that believe. Only those who receive Jesus Christ through personal faith are born of the Holy Spirit, and in this rebirth they are made sons of God.

CHRISTIAN ORDINANCES (Sacraments)

          11. We believe that baptism by immersion and the Holy Communion are ordinances that should be observed by the Church during the present era. However, such ordinances should not be considered as a means of salvation.
