1. The Scriptures

We believe that the Holy Bible, as originally written, was verbally and plenarily inspired and the product of Spirit-controlled men, and therefore is truth without error in its entire matter. We believe the Bible to be the center of true Christian unity and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions shall be tried. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:19-21).

2. The True God

We believe there is one and only one living and true God as infinite, sovereign Spirit, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the work of redemption (Exodus 20:2-3; I Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11).

3. The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, equal with God the Father and God the Son and of the same nature; that He was active in the creation; that in His relation to the unbelieving world, He restrains the evil one until God's purpose is fulfilled; that He convicts of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; that He bears witness to the truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony; that He is the agent in the new birth; that He seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies and helps the believer. The gifts of tongues and healing were "sign-gifts" until the Scriptures were completed. (The sign gifts ceased at that time.) (John 14:16-17; Matthews 28:19; Hebrews 9:14; John 14:26; Luke 1:35; Genesis 1:1-3; Mark 1:8; John 1:33; Acts 11:16; Luke 24:49; Romans 8:14; 16,26-27; Romans 15:19; Hebrews 2:4; I Corinthians 13:8; I Corinthaisn 14:22).

4. The Devil, or Satan

We believe in the personality of Satan, that he is the unholy god of this age, and the ruler of all the powers of darkness, and is destined to the judgement of an eternal justice in the lake of fire (Matthew 4:11; II Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:10).

5. Creation

We believe the Genesis account of creation as being neither allegory nor myth, but a literal, historical account of the direct, immediate creative acts of God without any evolutionary process: that man, spirit, soul and body, was created by a direct act of God and not from previously existing forms of life; and that all men are descended from the historical Adam and Eve, first parents of the entire human race (Genesis 1 and 2; Colossians 1:16-17; John 1:3).

6. The Fall of Man

We believe that man was created in innocence under the law of his Maker; but by voluntary transgression, Adam, fell from his sinless and happy state, and all men sinned in him, in consequence of which all men are totally deprave, are partakers of Adam's fallen nature, and are sinners by nature and by conduct; and therefore are under just condemnation without defense or excuse (Genesis 3:1-6, 24; Romans 1:18, 32: Romans 3:10-19; Romans 5:12, 19).

7. The Virgin Birth

We believe that Jesus was begotten of the Holy Ghost in a miraculous manner, born of Mary, a virgin, as no other man was ever born or can ever be born of woman, and that He is both the Sond of God and God the Son (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:35; John 1:14; Hebrews 1:8).

8. Resurrection and Priesthood

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ, in His ascension into Heaven, where He now sits at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest (Matthew 28:6-7; Luke 24:39; John 20:27; I Corinthians 7:5; I John 2:1; Hebrews 2:17; Hebrews 5:9-10).

9. Grace in the New Creation

We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again; that the new birth is a new creation in Christ Jesus; that it is instantaneous and not a process; that in the new birth, the one dead in trespasses and sins is made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift of God (John 3:3; II Corinthians 5:17; I John 5:1; Acts 16:30-33; II Peter 1:4; Romans 6:23).

10. Repentance

We believe that repentance is a change of mind and purpose toward God prompted by the Holy Spirit, that it is characterized by godly sorrow for sin as offensive to God and ruinous to the soul; and that true repentance is inseparably connected to true faith (Luke 13:1-3; Luke 15:7; Acts 5:22; Romans 2:4; II Corinthians 7:10; Acts 20:21).

11. Faith and Salvation

We believe that faith in the Lord jesus Christ is the only condition of salvation (Acts 16:31).

12. Sanctification

We believe that sanctification is the divine setting apart of the believer unto God accomplished in a threefold manner; first, an eternal act of God, based upon redemption in Christ, establishing the believer in a position of holiness at the moment he trusts the Saviour; second, a continuin process in the saint as the Holy Spirit applies the Word of God to his life; third, the final accomplishment of the process at the Lord's return (Hebrews 10:10-14; John 17:17; II Corinthians 3:18; I Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 5:25-26; I Thessalonians 4:3-4; I John 3:2; Revelation 22:11).

13. The Security of the Saints

We believe that all who are truly born again are kept by God the Father for Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6; John 10:28-29; Romans 8:35-39; Jude 1).

14. Baptism and the Lord's Supper

We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water, under the authority of the local church, to show forth in a solemn and beautiful picture of our faith in the crucified, buried and risen Saviour, through Whom we died to sin and rose to a new life; that baptism is prerequisite to the privilieges of church membership. We believe the Lord's Supper is always by solemn self-examination. We believe that the biblical order of the ordinances is baptism and the Lord's Supper (Acts 8:36; 38-39; John 3:23; Romans 6:3-5; Matthew 3:16; Colossians 2:12; I Corinthians 11:23-28; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42).

15. Separation

We believe in obedience to the biblical commands to separate entirely from worldliness and ecclesiastical apostasy unto God (II Corinthians 6:14-7:1; I Thessalonians 1:9-10; I Timothy 6:3-5; Romans 16:17; II John 9:11).

16. The Rapture and Subsequent Events

We believe in the imminent, pre-millennial return of Christ for His Church, and that at that time, the dead in Christ sall be raised in glorified bodies, and the living in Christ shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air before the Tribulation begins (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:42-44; Philippians 3:20-21; Revelation 3:10).
We believe that the Great Tribulation, which follows the Rapture of the Church, will be culminated by the revelation of Christ in power and great glory to sit upon the throne of David and to establish the millennial reign of Christ (Daniel (:25-27; Matthew 24:29-31; Luke 1:30-33; Isaiah 9:6-7; Isaiah 11:1-9; Acts 2:29-30; Revelation 20:1-4;6).

17. The Righteous and the Wicked

We believe that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked; that only those who are justified by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and sanctified by the Spirit of our God are truly righteous in His esteem; while all such as continue in impenetence and unbelief are in His sight wicked and under the curse; and this distinction holds true among men both in and after death, in the everlasting bliss of the saved and the everlasting conscious suffereing of the lost in the lake of fire (Malachi 3:18; Genesis 18:23; Romans 6:17-18; I John 5:19; Romans 6:23; Romans 7:6; Proverbs 14:32; Luke 16:25; John 8:21; John 8:44; Revelation 20:14-15).
