Of the Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible in its entire 66 Books was written by men under divine inspiration, that it contains the inerrant and eternal word of God, that it reveals the principles by which God will judge mankind, that it is the one and only true center of Christian union and fellowship and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be weighed
Of the True God
We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, whose name is Jehovah, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and the universe, who exists as an infinitely intelligent Spirit, holy and glorious, ever-living, all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere-present; 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 great work of redemption
Of Sin
We believe that mankind was created in perfection and holiness, but by voluntary transgression, represented in the disobedience of Adam and Eve, fell from that holy and happy state, in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners, positively inclined to do evil, utterly void of the holiness required by the law of God, and therefore under just condemnation to eternal damnation, without defense or excuse.
Of Justification
We believe that the great gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe is Justification; that Justification includes pardon for sin and the promise of eternal life on principles of righteousness; that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer's blood, by virtue of which faith His perfect righteousness is imputed to us by God; that it brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God, and secures every other blessing needful for time and eternity.
Of Regeneration
We believe that in order to be saved sinners must be regenerated or born again; that regeneration consists in receiving a holy disposition to the soul, that it is effected, in a manner above our comprehension, by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with our acknowledgment of divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the gospel; and that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance and faith and newness of life.
Of God's Grace
We believe that Election is the eternal purpose of God, according to which He graciously regenerates, sanctifies, and saves sinners; that being perfectly consistent with the free agency of man, it comprehends all the means in connection with the end; that it is a most glorious display of God's sovereign goodness, being infinitely free, wise, holy, and eternal; that it utterly excludes boasting, and rather promotes humility, love, prayer, praise, trust in God, and active imitation of His free mercy; that it may be ascertained by its effects in all who truly believe the gospel; that it is the foundation of Christian assurance; and that to ascertain it with regard to ourselves demands and deserves the utmost diligence.
Of the Gospel Church
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, represented in the congregation of professed believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by His laws; and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in the Body by His work and word.
Of Baptism and the Lord's Supper
We believe that Christian Baptism is the immersion in water of a believer, in the name of God the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit; to show forth, in a solemn emblem, our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life; that it is prerequisite to the privileges of the Lord's Supper in which regenerated believers, by the sacred use of bread and juice, commemorate together the death of Christ and His future return.
Of Christian Stewardship
We believe that the physical body of the Christian is the temple of the Holy Spirit; that everything the Christian is, has, and achieves is graciously given by God for the primal purpose of obeying, honoring, and pleasing the One who died to secure life for us; that as God's servants, stewards, and ambassadors, we will render an account of our lives and means before God; and that it is a rewarding privilege to contribute to the furtherance of the Gospel and the building of Christ's body through a program of systematic and proportionate giving of our talents, earnings, and resources.
Of the Second Coming of Christ and Eternal Judgement
We believe in the imminent rapture of the Church wherein the dead in Christ and all living Believers will be translated and caught up to meet Jesus in the air; that the Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth in bodily form and with His saints will reign on earth for one thousand years; that all humans who have ever lived will appear before God at the last judgment; and that the saved in Christ will be rewarded for their deeds and ushered into eternal life in the presence of God while the unsaved will be punished for their deeds and committed to eternal damnation in hell.
