Inerrant Word of God
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. It reveals the love of God to the world.
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16.
The Trinity
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.
3. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, and in His sinless life. We also believe in His miracles and His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross. Furthermore, we believe in His bodily resurrection and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father. Importantly, we believe in His personal return in power and glory.
Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.
4. We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God. Furthermore, Jesus Christ is believed to be the only way of salvation. For the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe that God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven. Conversely, He will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell.
Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life.
John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10.
All Will Be Resurrected
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The saved will attain the resurrection of eternal life, while the lost will face the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment.
1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. All true believers are members of His body, the Church.
1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23.
8. We believe that the ministry of evangelism is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ. This involves sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation, only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Furthermore, discipleship helps followers of Christ grow into maturity in Him.
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.
Marriage Is God’s Blessing
9. We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage. God created man and woman as unique biological persons made for each other. Moreover, God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family. It is also the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.
Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9.
Praise, Worship & Evangelize
10. We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, and to His authority over our lives. Additionally, dedication to the ministry of evangelism is essential.
Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15.
11. We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end. Also, we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen.
Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10
God Created Only Two
12. We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person biological male or female. These two distinct but complementary sexes together reflect the image and likeness of God. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of God’s merciful design and creative order.
Genesis 1:26-27;1 Corinthians 6:9; Deuteronomy 22:5
