We Believe

... that the Holy Bible as originally written was:

(a) verbally inspired and the product of God through Spirit controlled men.
(b) and is Truth without admixture of error.

... in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years.

... in the blessed hope - the rapture of the Church at Christ's coming.

... that in order to be saved, "you must be born again."

... that the salvation of sinners is wholly of God's grace; and through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God, who by appointment of the Father, voluntarily took upon Him the form of a man, was tempted in all points as we are yet without sin in nature or deed, honored the Divine Law by His personal obedience and by His death on the cross made a full and vicarious atonement for our sins.

... in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.

... in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
