 The Bible is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

 There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious (in place of) and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God, and in His pretribulational return in power and glory.

 The Holy Spirit is a divine person, who is equal with God the Father and God the Son and who is of the same nature.

 We believe that man was created in innocence and by voluntary transgression fell into sin. The only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ. Salvation is the free gift of God received through confession of faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The inward evidence is the witness of the Spirit; the outward evidence to others is a life of righteousness and true holiness.
