- We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament of God to be inspired and infallible in their original writing, and that they are the supreme and final authority of faith and life. (1 Timothy 3:15-17)
- We believe in God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuternomy 6:4, Psalm 110:1, John 1:1-2, Philippians 2:10-11)
- We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is both the true God and true man. (Matthew 1:20, John 1:1-2)
- We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical suffering, pain, and premature physical death, but also spiritual death (which is separation from God). All human beings are born with a sinful nature and when they reach an age of moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed. (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 3, Psalm 51:5, Deuteronomy 1:39, Matthew 19:14)
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who receive Him are justified on the merits of His broken body and shed blood. (Romans 3:25, Colossians 1:20, Hebrews 9:22)
- We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of the Lord Jesus Christ, in his ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate. (Matthew 28:6, Luke 24:51, Hebrews 4:14)
- We believe in the blessed hope, the personal pre-millennial and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
- We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God. (John 3:5-18, Romans 10:9-10)
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost. (Romans 2:6, Revelation 20:11-15, Revelation 22:12)
