We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments as verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original
writing, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and
life.We believe in one God, eternally existing in three
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy
Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
We affirm our belief that man was created in the image of God;
that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also
that spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human
beings are born with a sinful nature and that those who reach moral
responsibility become sinners in thought, word, and deed. (By
this statement we affirm that man was created by a direct act of God
in His image, not from previously existing creatures, and that all of
mankind sinned in Adam and Eve, the historical parents of the entire
human race.)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our
sins, according to the Scriptures as a representative and
substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are
justified on the ground of His shed blood.
We believe in the resurrection and crucified body of
the Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present life there
for us as High Priest and Advocate.
We believe in "that blessed hope," the
personal, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord
Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become
children of God.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and
unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the
everlasting punishment of the lost.
