1. We believe in the plenary verbal inspiration and inerrancy of whole Bible as originally written, and that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice. [Ps. 119:160; 2 Tim. 3:16,17]

2.  We believe in the personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection. [Matt. 28:19]

3.  We believe that Satan is a fallen angel, the archenemy of God and man, the unholy god of this world, and that his destiny is the eternal lake of fire. [Is. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:11-19; Matt. 25:41; Eph. 6:10-17; Rev. 20:10; 2 Cor.4:4]

4.  We believe in the virgin birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ. [Matt. 1:18-20; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 2:22]

5.  We believe that Man was created in the image of God and lived in innocence until he fell by voluntary transgression from his sinless state, the result being that all mankind are sinners. [Gen. 1:26; Gen. 3:6-24; Rom. 5:13, 19]

6.  We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe. [1 Pet. 3:18; 2 Pet. 3:9; 1 Jn. 2:2]

7.  We believe that the sinner is saved wholly by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit convicts sinners, regenerates, seals, secures, and indwells every believer. [Jn. 3:6; 16:8, 9; Rom. 8:9-11; 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; Eph. 4:30; Tit. 3:5]

8.  We believe in the bodily death, resurrection, ascension, the coming back of Christ, and the bodily resurrection of saints. [Matt. 28:1-7; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Cor. 15:42-58; 1 The. 4:13-18]

9. We believe that the church is the assembly of those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ and whom the Holy Spirit placed into one united spiritual body [1 Cor. 12:12-13]. We believe that the church began on the day of Pentecost [Acts 2:1-21, 38-47] and Jesus Christ is its head [Eph. 1:22; Col. 1:18].

10. We believe that the two ordinances of the local church are baptism by immersion [Acts 8:36-39] and the Lord’s Supper [Acts 2:38-42].
