The Scriptures
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be inspired
by God, and inerrant in the original writings., and that they are of supreme
and final authority in all matters of faith and life.
The Triune God
God
We believe in one God, who is Creator of heaven and earth; eternal, almighty,
infallible and unchangeable; who is Spirit, light, love and truth; infinitely
wise, just and holy; and that God eternally exists in three Persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the Eternal
Word manifested in the flesh, our crucified and risen Lord who came to
us, and shared our common lot to conquer sin and death and to reconcile
the world to himself. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the
Virgin Mary, and that He is true God and true man.
He bestows upon us His Holy Spirit; He calls us into His Church to accept
the cost and joy of discipleship, to proclaim the gospel to all the world,
to resist and overcome the power of evil; He promises to all who trust
Him forgiveness of sins, fullness of grace, courage in trial and eternal
life in His kingdom which has no end.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person and is possessed of all the
distinctively divine attributes. He convicts men of sin, regenerates,
indwells, baptizes, seals, and sets believers apart to a holy life and
service; that He keeps and empowers believers day by day.
Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God, after His likeness,
but the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam. All men are
lost, alienated from the life of God because of sin; darkened in their
understanding of spiritual matters through ignorance and hardness of heart.
They cannot see nor enter the Kingdom of God until they are born again
of the Holy Spirit to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.
