We believe that “all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the people of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a 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 now is our High Priest and Advocate. John 1:1; Luke 2:35; 2 Corinthians 15:3-4

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service. John 15:26; John 16:8

We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:12

We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only grounds of justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become believers. John 3:3; John 1:12; John 3:16

We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been born anew by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the Head. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14

We believe that the teaching of Scripture is the normative ethical framework and guideline in human relationships, upholding faithfulness in marriage between a man and woman in lifelong union, and abstinence for those not called to marriage. Genesis 2:24; Corinthians 7:1-4

We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this "blessed hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead and that the believer will live in everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:51-54
