1. We believe that there is one, and only one, true living God; and that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are the three personalities of the one divine God. Deuteronomy 4:35; Matthew 28:19; Psalms 83:18.
2. We believe that the entire Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 was written by men supernaturally and verbally inspired, and that it is a perfect treasure of Holy instruction. II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21.
3. We believe that man by voluntary trangression fell from the high and happy state in which he was created, and as a consequence brought himself and all mankind under the condemnation of God. Genesis 3:6-24; Ephesians 2:1-3.
4. We believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin: that God the Father, through the Holy Spirit, is actually and eternally His divine Father, and that Mary, the virgin, is actually and innocently His human mother. Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:18-25.
5. We believe that salvation is through the blood of Christ, that Christ died for the whole world, and offers salvation to all mankind. We believe that repentance and faith are essential for salvation. John 5:40; Ephesians 1:7; Matthew 3:1-13; Acts 20:21.
6. We believe that in order to be saved one must be born again and that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ without any mixture of works whatsoever. John 3:3-8; Romans 4:1-6; Ephesians 2:8-9;Tutus 3:5.
7. We believe that every true believer is kept saved and eternally secure by the power and promise of God. John 5:24; John 10:27-29; Philippians 1:6.
8. We believe that the church was personally founded by Jesus Christ during His ministry on earth; that it is a visible, local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ, invested in her by His word. We believe that the church is the pillar and ground of truth and that our Lord's churches have had a continuous existence from His day till now. Matthew 4:18-22; 16:18; Matthew 28:18-20; I Timothy 3:15; Acts 2:41.
