Statement of Faith:
- In one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, eternally existent in three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:20).
- In the virgin birth of Christ, His vicarious death, bodily resurrection and ascension (Isaiah 7:14; Romans 8:34; Acts 1:9-10).
- In the divine inspiration of the Bible, our all sufficient rule of faith and conduct (II Timothy 3:15-17).
- In the necessity of the rebirth of man and in his consequent salvation from spiritual death and hell, through repentance as acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior (John 3:1-7, 16-18; I John 5:11-12).
- In the observable evidence of the new birth, the inward evidence being the direct witness of the Holy Spirit and the outward evidence being a life of holiness and love of God and man. (Romans 8:16; I Peter 1:15-16; Matthew 22:36-40).
- In Christian baptism (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38).
- In the resurrection of the dead, that the bodies of both the just and the unjust shall be raised to life and united with their spirits—”They that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil to the resurrection of damnation” (Matthew 25:31-46; Luke 16:19-31; II Corinthians 5:10).
- In the second coming to earth of the Lord Jesus Christ, who will receive all believers unto himself, both alive and dead, so that we shall be with the Lord forever. (Matthew 25:31-46; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11; Revelation 22:7-20).
