We are convinced of and deeply committed to following these basic truths:
All who receive the Lord Jesus by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. (John 1:12)
Jesus Christ was begotten of the God, was born of Mary, a virgin, is true God and true man. He died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified by God on the basis of His shed blood. (Matthew 1:18-23; 1 Peter 1:18-21; Romans 3:24, 25a; 4:5)
Man was created in the image of God. He sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. All human beings are born with a sinful nature. (Rom. 5:12; Eph. 2:1-3)
The Holy Spirit is a divine person, set to indwell, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. (Romans 8; John 16:5-16)
We believe in the Bible, the old and new testaments, as the only inspired, inerrant, written Word of God authoritative for the Christian faith.
(1 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20)
The crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ was resurrected. He ascended into heaven and presently intercedes for us before God. There will be bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust. Resulting in everlasting reward for the saved and everlasting punishment for the lost. (1 Cor. 15:1-4; 1 John 1:1-2; John 5:24-29)
We believe that God created male and female in His image and that God divinely assigns a person’s sex as male or female. God instituted marriage as a covenant relationship between one genetic male and one genetic female. God also designed sexual relationships to be between male and female within the boundaries of marriage. (Gen 1:26-28) (Gen 2:24) (Mark 10:6-9) (Psalm 139:13-14) (Romans 1:26-27)
God the Father is an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men. He hears and answers prayer. He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (John 4:24; Matthew 10:30; 1 Corinthians 1:30)
There is one God, existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
There shall be the imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (Titus 2:13-14).
