I. The Scriptures

Every word in the original writings of the Holy Scripture is inspired of God and without error. (II Tim. 3:16; II Peter 1:21; I Cor. 2:13). 

II. God

The Godhead exists eternally in three persons, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and these three are one God (Gen. 1:1; Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; John 4:24; John 10:30; John 14; II Cor. 13:14). 

The eternal Son of God became incarnate in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is true God and true man, having been born of the Virgin Mary (John 1:1,14,18; Matt. 1:21-23; Heb. 1:6,8; I John 5:20; I Tim. 2:5). 

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead, who regenerates, indwells, baptizes, and seals all true believers in Christ and fills those yielded to God (Matt. 28:19; John 3:3-6; John 1:13; Titus 3:5; I Cor. 2:12; I Cor. 6:19; Rom. 8:9 I Cor. 12:13; Eph. 4:30). 

III. Man

Man was created in the image and likeness of God, but in Adam all mankind fell into sin with the result that all men are sinners, hopelessly sinful in themselves, apart from the grace of God (Gen. 1:27; 9:6; Rom. 5:12; 3:23; Eph. 2:1). 

IV. Salvation

Salvation is received by faith alone in Christ, who by his grace died in substitutionary sacrifice for our sins and rose again (Acts 4:12; Acts 13:38,39; I Cor. 15:1-4; Rom. 4:4,5; Rom. 5:1; I Cor. 3:11). 

V. God’s Purpose of Grace

Every true believer is promised positional, progressive, and ultimate sanctification (Heb. 10:10,14; John 17:17; Eph. 5:26; I Thess. 4:3,4; Eph. 5:27; I John 3:2). 

All who are born of the Spirit through faith in Christ can have assurance of salvation and are eternally secure in Christ (Rom. 5:1; John 3:5,6; I John 5:13; John 10:28,29; John 17:12; II Tim. 1:12). 

VI. The Church

The church, composed of all true believers, is the body and bride of Christ, formed by the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:22,23; Eph. 5:24,25,30; Cor. 12:12,13,27). 

VII. Evangelism and Missions

Christians are called to a holy life of service and testimony in the power of the Holy Spirit, which service includes the propagation of the Gospel message to the whole world. There is promised reward in heaven for faithfulness in such service (I Peter 1:15,16; John 12:25,26; Acts 1:8; I Cor. 3:12-15). 

VIII. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

The Scriptural ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper are for all true believers in Christ (Matt. 28:19,20; Mark 16:15,16; Acts 8:12,36-38; Acts 9:18; Acts 10:47; I Cor. 1:16; I Cor. 11:23-26). 

IX. Last Things

The Church looks for the imminent personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ which is its blessed hope, realizing God has appointed a day wherein He will judge the world by Jesus Christ. The wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment, the righteous into everlasting Life (I Thess. 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Acts 1:11; Matt. 25:46; Acts 17:31).
