We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine unique Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory. Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 5:48, Matthew 28:19.

We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises. 2 Peter 1:20–21; 2 Timothy 3:15–16.

We believe that God created Adam and Eve as very good and in His image, but they sinned when tempted by Satan. In union with Adam, human beings are sinners by nature and by choice, separated from God, and under His judgement. Only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued, reconciled and renewed. 

Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23, 1 Corinthians15:20–23.

We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one Person in two natures. Jesus—Israel's promised Messiah—was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified, died and buried, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate. Philippians 2:6–11, Luke 1:34–38, 1 Peter 3:18, Romans 5:9, 

Hebrews 8:1, Matthew 26:64.

We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation. 

Hebrews 2:9, Titus 3:4–7, Acts 2:23–24.

We believe that the Holy Spirit, in all that He does, glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of its guilt. He regenerates sinners, and in Him they are baptized into union with Christ and adopted as heirs into the family of God. He also indwells, illuminates, guides, equips and empowers believers for Christ-like living and service. 

John 14:15–18, 15:26; 16:7–11, 13; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:2, 16-17; Ephesians 4:30; Galatians 5:22-26.

We believe that the true church comprises all who have been justified by God's grace through faith alone in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be composed only of followers of Jesus. The Lord Jesus mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith, these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer. Matthew 28:19–20; John 3:5-7; Acts 2:41–47; Romans 3:21-26, 28; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; Ephesians 1:22–23.

We believe that God's justifying grace must not be separated from His sanctifying power and purpose. God commands us to love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed. With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed. Matthew 22:36-40; 28:16-20; Luke 4:18-19; 10:25-37; Ephesians 2:6-10; 6:10-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
