We believe that the Bible is God’s infallible, inspired Word (II Timothy 3:16)

 
We believe that there is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), that He was manifest in the flesh through Jesus Christ (I Timothy 3:16), and that His Spirit dwells in believers (Romans 8:11).
 
We believe that man is by nature fallen from God’s grace through sin (Romans 3:23, 5:12).
 
We believe that the grace of God has appeared unto all men to bring salvation (Ephesians 2:8, Titus 3:5).
 
We believe that salvation is available to all (II Peter 3:9) through faith and obedience to the gospel, namely, repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name for the remission of sins, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38, I Peter 3:21, Romans 8:10).
 
We believe that the believer is called to holiness and purity of lifestyle (II Corinthians 6:17-18, 7:1, Hebrews 12:14).
 
We believe that divine healing is still experienced through prayer and faith (James 5:14).
 
We believe that the gifts of the Spirit should be effective in the company of believers according to the teachings of Paul (I Corinthians 12-14).
 
We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ to rapture His church (John 14:3, Acts 1:11, I Thessalonians 4:16), and look for that blessed hope (Titus 2:13, Revelation 22:20).
 
We believe that all people will be judged according to the word of God (Romans 2:16, Hebrews 9:27), and rewarded according to their deeds with either everlasting life or eternal punishment (Romans 2:5-11, Revelation 21:7-8).
