What we believe about God and His plan for us.
1. The Bible is absolutely true and our final authority.
2. God is our holy Creator and He exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. Jesus Christ, the God-man, was born of a virgin. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins and then rose again from the dead and is alive today.
4. The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus Christ, convicts unbelievers, and lives within believers to guide, instruct, and empower them.
5. Man was created in the image of God but is separated from God by sin and in need of salvation.
6. Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection are the only grounds of salvation for those who believe in Him.
7. Water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are to be practiced by the church but are not to be regarded as means of salvation.
8. The true church consists of all persons who are united in the Body of Christ through saving faith in Jesus Christ.
9. Only members of the true church are eligible for membership in the local church.
10. Jesus Christ is the Lord of the church, and every local church has the right under Him to decide and govern its own affairs.
11. The return of Jesus Christ is imminent, personal, premillennial, and this hope should effect our live and service for Him.
12. The bodily resurrection of the dead will include believers to the presence of God and unbelievers to everlasting punishment.
