We Believe and Accept:
1. The Bible as divinely inspired written Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Psalm 119:89; Hebrews 4:12)
2. The trinity (tri-unity) of God, whereas one God is manifest in three: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Dt. 6:4; 5:7; Gen. 1:26; Matt 29:19; I John 5:7,8; John 6:12-15).
3. The deity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3, 14; 8:58; Col. 1:15-17; 2:9; Rom 1:3,4; John 10:30).
4. The true humanity of Jesus Christ (I John 4:1-3; Galatians 4:4,5); the virgin birth of Jesus (Is. 7:14; 9:6; Matt. 1:18-25; Luke 1:3,5; John 1:14); that His miracles literally took place (John 2:11,23; 3:2; 6:2; 7:31; 12:37; Acts 2:22); that Jesus Christ alone is mediator between God and people ( I Tim: 2:5)
5. The substitutionary blood atonement of Christ (Lev. 17:11; Is. 53; Heb. 2:17; 7:25-27; 9:12-15, 22, 26-28; 10:4-14, 17-18; I Pet. 1:1, 8-20; I John 1:7, 2:2).
6. The Bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (Mt. 28:6,7; Mk. 16:6; Lk. 24:6; John 20:19,20, 26-29; I Cor. 15).
7. The universality of sin (Rom. 3:23; 5:12; Is. 64:6).
8. The necessity of the new birth as the means of salvation (John 3:3,5,7,16-18; I John 5:4-6; 3:36; 5:24; Acts 4:12); that salvation is by the grace of God to all who have personal believing faith in Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:8,9; Rom. 5:1; 10:9-13).
9. The maintenance of good works in the lives of believers (Eph 2:8-10; John 15:16; Tit. 3:8; Bk of James).

11. The need for believers to be filled with The Holy Spirit (Eph 5:18), thus producing personal lives that glorify God (Gal. 5:16-25; Eph 4:1-3; 5:12).
12. The assurance of eternal life is the present possession of each child of God (I John 5:11-13; Romans 8:1; John 10:27-30).
13. The imminent bodily return of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; John 14:3; Matt 24:1; Thess 4:14-18).
14. The resurrection of the saved and the lost (Rev. 20:4-6; John 5:28,29).
15. The eternal separation from God's presence of those who do not believe and accept the gospel (John 8:24; 2 Thess 1:7-9; Rev 14:9-14).
16. The reality and personality of satan (Lk 4:1-13; Gen 3:1-5; Rev 20:10,11); the reality of a host of unseen spirit beings in subjection and allegiance to satan (Mt. 5:8,9); and that believers are to resist satan and his host (Eph. 6:10-18; Jas. 4:7: Mk. 16:17).
17. The church belongs to Jesus Christ (Matt. 16:18) Who alone is its only rightful Head (Col. 1:18; Eph. 5:23b), that it is being built upon Him. The Church-universal is the body of Christ from which no believers are excluded (Eph 1:22,23; 4:16; I Cor. 12:12, 13:27). Local churches are companies of born again (regenerated) believers who have joined themselves together in commonly shared evangelical doctrine, beliefs, fellowship and purpose (Acts 2:41, 42, 47; Heb. 10:23-25) having called out ministers (servants) to equip, instruct, preach, teach, edify, etc. (Eph. 4:11-16; Acts 6:1-7; 20:28-31; I Peter 5:1-4; I Timothy 5:17-20; 2 Timothy 4:2-5).
18. The Lord's commission to the churches is to share the gospel in love (Matt. 28:19,20; Mk. 16:15; Lk. 24:47,48; Acts 1:8; Rom. 1:16; 10:14,15).
19. The local churches are to observe the ordinances of The Lord's Supper [communion] (Lk 22:19,20; I Cor. 11:23-31); and believer's baptism (Matt. 28:19,20; Acts 8:36-39; Rom. 6:1-5; Col. 2:12).
20. The Priesthood of all believers (I Pet. 2:4,5,9; Rev. 1:6).
