The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit.
God
We believe in the existence of a Supreme Being, personal and infinite, who inhabits eternity in inaccessible light and who is revealed to us as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and although Triune in persons, God is one in essence, and He alone is the one true and living God, the Author and Sustainer of all creation.
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, born of the virgin Mary, and that He lived a life without sin, died vicariously for the sins of man, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures and that He is the only mediator between God and man. We believe that He will come again for His Church and to establish His kingdom.
Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and that He is a person and not an impersonal force. We believe that He is the true God with God the Father and God the Son and that He is the only vicar of Christ in the world and the guide of the Church.
Man
We believe that man and woman were created by God in His image and likeness, that they were created perfect, pure, and innocent until they disobeyed God, and by that disobedience they were stripped of their pure and innocent nature and acquired a sinful natural which they have passed on to all humans in that all have sinned and deserve the just punishment of God.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift of God, given by His grace and acquired by means of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, not by merit or human works.
Resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead: the righteous to eternal life and the unrighteous to eternal damnation.
The Church
We believe that the church is a living organism, the spiritual body of the Lord Jesus Christ who is its head. We believe that the church is also the congregation of born-again people, called by Christ out of the world, to separate themselves from worldly things to be a unique people belonging to Him. The earthly leaders of the church are pastors (also called bishops or elders) and deacons.
