These
core beliefs make up the foundation upon
which all our ministry endeavors are based.

believes:
The Bible to be the infallible Word of God,
that it is His holy and inspired Word, and that it is the supreme and
authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3: 15-17)
That there is one God, eternally existing in
three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28: 19, Ephesians 4:
4-6)
That our Lord Jesus Christ was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He led a sinless life, took on
Himself all our sins, died and rose again, and is seated at the right hand
of the Father as our mediator and advocate. (John 1:1-4, Matthew 1:23,
Philippians 2:5-11, Hebrews 1:1-4 & 4:15, Acts 1:11 & 2:22-24, I Corinthians
15:3-4)
That all men everywhere are lost and face
the judgment of God, and need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ
through His shed blood on the cross.

of sin and faith in Jesus Christ which results in regeneration by the Holy
Spirit and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. (Titus 3:4-7;
Luke 24:46-47; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Acts 4:12.)
That Christ rose from the dead and is coming
soon.
That we must dedicate ourselves anew to the
service of our Lord and to His authority over our lives.

whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. (Galatians
5:16-18; Romans 8:9)
In the resurrection of both the saved and
the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto
the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. (Revelation 20:11-15;
I Corinthians 15:51-57)
In the spiritual unity of believers in our
Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the
Church. (Ephesians 1:22-23; I Corinthians 12:12, 27)

responsibility of both the church and each Christian. (Romans 10:9-15;
