1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative Word of God revealing the characteristics of God to the world. (1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17)
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6)
3. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His victorious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1- 4; John 1:29; Acts 1:11; Acts 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4; Hebrews 4:15)
4. We believe that all people everywhere are sinful and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Furthermore, we believe that God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven, and that He will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell. (Luke 24:46-47; John 3:16-17; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4- 7)
5. We believe in the present activity of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life and empowers them to impact others. (John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8; Acts 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10)
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection and eternal punishment. (1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15)
7. We believe God’s plan for sexual activity is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9)
8. We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end, that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of all fellow human beings. (Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10)
