We believe that the following statements of faith are essential and non-negotiable essentials of the Christian Faith:

  • The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustwor­thy; and the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

  • One God, eternally existent in three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  • Our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His atoning death, His bodily resur­rection, His as­cension, His mediatorial work, and His personal re­turn in power and glory.

  • The salvation of lost and sinful people through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regen­eration by the Holy Spirit.

  • The indwelling Holy Spirit who enables the believer to live a holy life to  wit­ness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • The Church, the body of Christ, consisting of all true believers.  The local church: believers who voluntarily gather together for worship and evangelism, teaching, fellowship, observance of the ordinances, prayer, and administration of discipline.

  • God’s judgement of the living and the dead: those who are saved unto the resurrection of life in heaven, and those who are lost unto the condemnation of eternal punishment in hell.
