We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Gen 1.1;  Joh 10.30;  Mat 28.19;  Act 5.3-4

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary and is true God and true man.  Isa 7:14;  Mat 1:18-25;  Col 2:9

We believe that man was created in the image of God and that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also the spiritual death which is separation from God and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are sinners by birth and by choice, positively inclined to evil and are ruined without defense or excuse.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood.   1Co 15.1-4;  2Co 5.21;  1Pe 2.24;  Rom 5:9; 1Pe 1.18-19

 We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord, His bodily ascension into Heaven, and His bodily presence there for us as High Priest and Advocate.  1Co 15.1-4, 15.10-15;  Act 1.9-11;  Heb 7:25;  1Jo 2.1

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust, the eternal conscious punishment of the lost, and the eternal joy of the saved.  Rev 20.1-10; 1Th 4.16-18

We believe that immersion is the only form of baptism revealed and commanded in the Scriptures; that it has no saving power, that it is only for those who are already saved; and that the new birth, which comes through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is the scriptural prerequisite to baptism.  Therefore, only those who are old enough to believe for themselves should be baptized.  Act 2.38;  Act 8.35-38

We believe that the local church has two ordinances, baptism and the Lord's Supper, and that both should be exercised through the ministry of the church.  Mat 28.19-20; 1Co 11.23-32
