- We believe that the Bible — consisting of the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament — is the complete, perfect, and final revelation given to humanity by God.
- We believe that every person, as a result of the Fall, is in a state of sin and, consequently, subject to death.
- We believe in the justification of the sinner by grace alone, through faith, based on the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was crucified and rose from the dead.
- We believe in one God, revealed to humanity in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son — Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God — in His incarnation, His work of reconciliation on the cross, His resurrection, His ascension, His intercession before the Father, His lordship, and His glorious second coming.
- We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit, given to every believer to live in God’s anointing and power.
- We believe in the supernatural activity of God in His Church today, just as in the New Testament times.
- We believe in the immortality of the human spirit, the resurrection of the body, God’s judgment of every person, the condemnation of the unrighteous, and eternal joy for the righteous.
- We believe in the one, undivided, and universal Church of Jesus Christ — His Body made up of all true Christians (regardless of human divisions) who, through personal faith, have accepted His redemptive death on the cross as atonement for their sins, turned away from their wrongdoing, and experienced new birth through the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that Jesus Christ Himself is the only Head of His Church.
- We affirm the New Testament teaching of the priesthood of all believers.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus established two ordinances for His Church: water baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
- We believe that a local Christian community, organizing itself as a local church, is — in accordance with New Testament teaching — fully autonomous in all internal and external matters. Jesus, as the Head of the Church, works through the local church by giving each person gifts of grace for the common good and appointing ministries — apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers — for the building up of the Church and the proclamation of the Gospel to the world. According to New Testament principles, the responsibility for the growth and governance of the local church rests with the pastor and the supporting elders.
