1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the
verbally inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original languages and the
supreme and final authority in faith and practice (II Peter 1:20, 21; II
Timothy 3:16, 17).

2. We believe in one and only one true God,who is the creator of the
whole universe, all powerful, all holy, eternally existing in three Persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4; II Cor. 13:14).

3. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit; born of
the Virgin Mary; lived among men; suffered, bled and died; was buried;
raised from the dead; ascended to the right hand of the Father;
intercedes for us; and is true God and true man (Luke 1:35; Luke 2:6, 7,
52; Matthew 27:29, 30, 35, 50; Luke 23:50-56; Acts 2:24, 33; I John 2:1;
John 10:30; I John 4:2, 3).

4. We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity
(Acts 5:3, 4; John 14:16, 17; John 16:13).

5. We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God;
that he sinned and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death;
that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are sinners in
thought, word and deed (Genesis 1:26, 27; Romans 3:22, 23; Romans
5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3).

6. We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the
Scriptures, as our representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that
all who believe on Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood (I
Cor. 5:3, I Peter 3:18; Romans 3:24-26).

7. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born
again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God; that they
are indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit and are secure in Him until the
day of redemption (John 1:12; John 3:5; Ephesians 1:13).

8. We believe that the Church is composed of all believers; that we are
baptized by the Holy Spirit into His body, thus being members of one
another. We believe in the establishment of independent local churches;
that the local church is God's institution commissioned with the
responsibility of world evangelization (Ephesians 1:22, 23; I Cor. 12:12,
13; Acts 13 & 14).

9. We believe that Jesus Christ instituted the Lord's Supper to
commemorate His death until He comes. We believe that water baptism
is an ordained testimony portraying our identification with Christ. We
believe in believer's baptism by immersion (I Cor. 11:23-26; Matthew
28:19, 20; Romans 6:3, 4).

10. We believe in "that blessed hope", the personal, imminent,
pretribulational, premillennial coming of the Lord into the air for His
saints. We believe in the personal, visible and glorious return of Christ to
the earth with His saints. We believe in the establishment of Christ's
kingdom upon the earth (Titus 2:13; I Thes. 4:13-17; Rev. 19:11-16; Rev.
11-15).

11. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; the
everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of
the lost (John 5:28, 29; John 14:1-3; Rev. 20:11-15).

12. We believe in the personality of Satan; that he is the god of this age,
the adversary of Christ and His Church, and that his destiny is eternal
punishment (Job 1:6, 7; II Cor. 4:4; I Peter 5:8; Rev. 20:10).
