<\/i>We believe<\/strong> in the existence of one eternal, personal, intelligent, and spiritual God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> in God’s sovereignty and wisdom in the creation and sustenance of the universe, in providence, revelation, and redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Only Begotten Son of God and co-existent with the Father, in His human incarnation, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His divine miracles, in His redemptive sacrifice, in His resurrection and bodily ascension, in His mediation with God, in His second coming, personal, visible and in power and glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> in the Holy Spirit, His personality, divinity, and activity, who works the conversion and regeneration of the sinner and empowers him to witness to the Gospel and exercise spiritual gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> in the divine and complete inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, in their supreme authority as the sole and sufficient rule in matters of faith and conduct, and that there is no error or deception in anything they declare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> that man was created by God in His image, that he sinned in Adam, that he fell from his original state of holiness through willful transgression, and that he is currently a sinner by nature and choice, and is therefore under God’s condemnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> in the salvation and justification of the sinner through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which is obtained through faith in Him, as a grace from God, independent of human merit, good works, or ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> in the immortality of the soul, in the bodily resurrection of all the dead, in the final judgment of the world by the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the eternal condemnation of unbelievers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> that the church is the universal and spiritual body of Christ, whose head is He, with the mission of preaching the Gospel throughout the world and that, in its local expression, it is a living body, a communion of believers gathered for its edification, worship, and proclamation of the Gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> that Christ conferred upon His Church, with a permanent character, two ordinances: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe<\/strong> it is the duty of all local churches and of each individual believer to strive to make disciples in all nations and to proclaim to every creature the great salvation of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>We believe it is the duty of every Christian to serve God in good stewardship, to promote peace among all people and cooperation among churches and brethren, with a view to achieving the great goals of the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
