I believe the Bible to be inspired, infallible and inerrant in the original writings. –
11 Timothy 3:15-17

I believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. – Genesis 1:1; John 15:26; Colossians 1:15-17

I believe that all people have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is absolutely essential for the salvation of all people. -   Romans 3:22-23; John 16:5-11

I believe in the deity and the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the world, that He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, from where He will return with power and glory, and He provides the only means of salvation for us through His grace. -   Matthew 1:20-25; Acts 2:22-36; Matthew 24:29-30

I believe in the doctrine of justification by faith, realizing that it is impossible through works to save oneself.  “Therefore, being justified by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” –   Romans 3:21-26; Romans 5:1;  Ephesians 2: 8-9

I believe in life after death, “that there shall be resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.” – Acts 24:15

I believe in the resurrection of the saved into everlasting life in Heaven, and the resurrection of the lost or unsaved into eternal punishment. –
Matthew 25:31-46; John 5:24-41

I believe that the Lord’s Supper is a New Testament ordinance, which declares Christ’s sacrificial death.  Those who have received Jesus as their personal Savior are invited to participate. – 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

I believe it is important to clearly communicate the message of the cross, the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, and our personal relationship with Him in order to “make disciples of all people.” – 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
