1. We believe the Bible to be in inspired,the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. 1\nThes 2:13; 2 Tim 3:15-17\n

2. We believe thatthere is one God, eternally existentin three persons, Father, Son and\nHoly Spirit. Matt 28:19; John 10:30; Eph 4:4-6\n

3. We believe in the deity ofthe Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in\nHis miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in\nHis bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand ofthe Father, and in His\npersonalreturn in power and glory. Matt 1:23; John 1:1-4; and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-\n24; Rom 8:34; I Cor 15:3-4; 2 Cor 5:21; Phil 2:5-11; Heb 1:1-4 and 4:15.\n

4. We believe that all people everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God,that\nJesus Christis the only way of salvation, and thatforthe salvation of lost and sinful man,\nrepentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christresults in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Luke\n24:46-47;John 14:6;Acts 4:12; Rom 3:23; 2 Cor 5:10,11; Eph 1:17 and 2:8,9; Titus 3:4-7.\n

5. We believe in the present ministry ofthe Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the\nChristian to live a godly life. John 3:5-8;Acts 1:8 & 4:31; Rom 8:9; 1Cor 2:14; Gal 5:16-18;\nEph 6:12; Col 2:6-10.\n

6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the\nsaved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the\nresurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. 1Cor 15:51-57;\nRev 20:11-15.

7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers; the Lord Jesus Christ\nand that all true believers are members of His body, the church. ICor\n12:12,27; Eph 1:22,23.\n

8. We believe that the ministry of evangelism (sharing and\nproclaiming the message of salvation is only possible by grace\nthrough faith in Jesus Christ) and discipleship (helping followers of\nChrist grow up into maturity in Christ) is a responsibility of all\nfollowers of Jesus Christ. Matt 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Rom 10:9-15; 1\nPeter 3:15.\n

9. We believe God\u2019s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only\nwithin the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as\nunique biological persons made to complete each other. God\ninstituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the\nfoundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For\nthis reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one\ngenetic male and one genetic female, Gen 2:24; Matt19:5,6; Mark\n10:6-9; Rom 1:26,27; 1Cor 6:9\n

10. We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer to the\nservice of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry\nof evangelism. Matt 9:35-38; 22:37-39; 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Rom 10:9-\n15l 12:20,21; Gal 6:10; Col 2:6-10; 1Peter 3:15.\n

11. We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural\nend; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual\nneeds of our fellowmen; Ps 139:13; Isa 49:1; Jer 1:5; Matt 22:37-39;\nRom 12:20,21; Gal 6:10<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
