We believe in one God, Creator and Lord of the Universe, the co- eternal Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ, God's Son, was conceived by the Holy

Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died a

substitutionary atoning death on the cross, rose bodily from the dead

and ascended to heaven where, as truly God and truly man, He is the

only mediator between God and man.

We believe that the Bible is God's authoritative and inspired Word. It

is without error in all its teachings, including creation, history,

its own origins, and salvation. Christians must submit to its divine

authority, both individually and corporately, in all matters of belief

and conduct, which is demonstrated by true righteous living.

We believe that all people are lost sinners and cannot see the Kingdom

of God except through the new birth. Justification is by grace through

faith in Christ alone.

We believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic Church. Its calling

is to worship God and witness concerning its Head, Jesus Christ,

preaching the Gospel among all nations and demonstrating its

commitment by compassionate service to the needs of human beings and

promoting righteousness and justice.

We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit for the

individual's new birth and growth to maturity, and for the Church's

constant renewal in truth, wisdom, faith, holiness, love, power, and

mission.

We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in

glory to raise the dead and bring salvation and judgment to

completion. God will fully manifest His kingdom when He establishes a

new heaven and new earth, in which He will be glorified forever and

exclude all evil, suffering, and death.
