There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable yet indivisible. Deuteronomy 6:4; Mathew 28:19; Luke 3:21-22; 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ is true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. On earth, He lived a sinless life and demonstrated the authority and power of God in words and works. He died on the cross, the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate. Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1,14,18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Philippians 2:5-11; Revelations 1:7-8; 22:13,16

The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for Godly living and service. John 14:15-18; 16:7-15; 1 Corinthians 6:19

The shed blood of Jesus Christ (death) and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all. However, only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith as Lord and Savior obtain the benefit of this salvation and justification plan of God. We believe it is essential for man to repent of sin and by faith embrace God’s salvation plan, experience a new birth by the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God. Isaiah 53; Luke 24:1-3; Acts 1:1-3; 2:22-36; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Hebrew 9:12-14

Humanity was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him. Yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin. Genesis 1:27; 3; Romans 5:12

The true Church is composed of all such persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, is regenerated by the Holy Spirit and is united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head. Indwelt by God through the Holy Spirit, the Church is empowered to continue the work of Christ on earth. 1 Timothy 3:15; 1 Corinthians 1:2; Romans 12:5

Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers – and only believers – should share in it. Mathew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Acts 19:1-5 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is endued upon believers that they might have power to be witnesses. All the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the charismatic gifts, are to manifest in the Church. Acts 1:4-8; 2:4

We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Those who believe in Him will be resurrected to a heavenly dwelling in an incorruptible body, and those who do not believe will join Satan and his host in everlasting punishment. Daniel 12:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-5:11; Revelations 20:11-15; I Corinthians 15:51-52

“The creator made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’” (Matthew 19:4-5) Marriage is to be an exclusive relationship and a lifelong, faithful union between a man and a woman. This relationship between a husband and wife should parallel the relationship between Christ and the Church. (Ephesians 5:23-30)
