We believe ...

• the Bible to be “God-breathed” the only, inspired, infallible authoritative, and inerrant Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:15-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

• there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1-2; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-2,10:30)

• in the deity of Christ (John 8:58; John 10:33), His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35), His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, 7:2-6), His miracles (John 2:11), His atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9, 7:27), His resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4), His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19), and His personal return in power and glory. (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16)

• in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of man and his nature, and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith alone are we saved. (John 3:16-19; Romans 3:23, 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7)

• in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those that are saved, unto the resurrection of life. Those that are lost, unto the resurrection of damnation. (Mark 16:16; John 5:24, 28-29)

• in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28)

• in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (Romans 8:13-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18)
