1.  THE WORD OF GOD
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

2.  THE TRINITY
We believe m one God, Creator of all things, present and existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3.  GOD THE FATHER
We believe m God the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, who is perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe He involves Himself mercifully in the affairs of people and responds to the prayers of believers.

4.  JESUS CHRIST
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, and intercession for His people. We believe in His personal visible return to earth.

5.  THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and to convince persons of sin leading them to repentance and faith. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells and empowers every believer m Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.

6.  MANKIND
We believe that mankind was created in the image of God, but became sinful both in nature and by choice. Mankind is now eternally lost and in need of forgiveness by God and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

7.  MANKIND'S DESTINY
We believe that persons who remain in sin are separated from God and eternally lost. Forgiven, regenerated persons have eternal life in God's presence.

8.  THE CHURCH
We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. The primary task of the church is to communicate and model the gospel.
