We believe in the one true and living God, the creator and sustainer of all things. He is infinite, eternal, unchangeable, and is revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Trinity. The Father is spirit and is the essence of holiness and righteousness in His perfection; He is the head of the Godhead. The Son is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament, Jesus Christ, who was born of the Virgin Mary, hence the God-Man. He died on the cross to redeem man, rose again from the dead to justify the believer, ascended to the right hand of God where He intercedes for us, and in the Father’s own time will return in visible, personal form to overthrow sin and judge the world. The Holy Spirit is the one sent from God to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, of judgment, to regenerate and cleanse from sin. He is the resident guide, teacher, and strengthener of the believer.

We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, wholly without error as originally given by God, and is sufficient as our only infallible rule of faith and practice. We deny that other books are inspired by God in the same way as the Bible. Only the 66 canonized books of the Bible are the God-inspired revelation of God.

We believe that humanity was created innocent, was tempted by Satan, and chose to sin; because of this, humans have been born in sin since that time and are by nature the children of wrath. We believe that Satan is a real creature who, with his angels, carries on the work of iniquity in this world. Sin is basically rebellion against God, and the result of sin is eternal separation from God.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Savior from sin. He atoned for our sins on the cross and rose again for our justification. Apart from Jesus Christ there is no salvation. All men are under condemnation through personal sin, and escape from condemnation only through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. This righteousness is imputed to the believer by grace through faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit immediately regenerates the one who makes the true life commitment to Jesus upon conversion, and the life begun in regeneration is never lost.

We believe in the final resurrection of all men, just and unjust. We believe that those who commit their lives to Jesus Christ during this life will be raised to everlasting life, but those who are not committed to Jesus Christ in this life will be raised to everlasting condemnation.
