v         We believe in the one true and living God, Yahweh, the eternal Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is revealed to us in word and experience as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Son is revealed in the historical Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Messiah of Israel. He was born of a virgin, died as the Lamb of God/Redeemer of the world. He was buried and rose again from the dead to justify all who place their trust in Him. He has ascended to heaven and resides at the right hand of God until His appearing in power and great glory

.

v        We believe that man was created innocent and that he was tempted and sinned. Because of this sin men are born in a sinful state but may live in hope of salvation by God in Jesus Christ.

 

v        We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Savior from sin. He atoned for our sin on the cross and rose from the dead for our justification.

 

v        We believe that, being in a covenant relationship with God through the blood of Jesus Christ, we experience by faith the saving, sanctifying and keeping grace of God. Righteousness is imputed to the believer in Jesus Christ by grace through faith.

 

v        We believe in the final resurrection of all men. Those who commit their lives to God in Jesus Christ will be raised to everlasting life; but those who reject the grace of God in Jesus Christ will be raised to everlasting separation from God.

 

v        We believe in the divine inspiration of the books of the Holy Bible. It is wholly without error in its accepted original text and is sufficient as our infallible rule of faith and Christian practice.

 

v        We believe in the pre-eminence of the Kingdom of God as revealed in the redeemed lives of believers everywhere. It is the mission of those within the Kingdom to reveal Christ to the world in the power of the Holy Spirit for the purpose of redemption. As the reconciled of the world, believers are to seek the reconciliation and well being of others. The inter-relatedness of all believers demands a peaceful and unified co-laboring together to achieve this end.
