We believe:
...that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God, inerrant in the original writings, and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
...in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
...that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
...that man was created in the image of God, but that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
...that the Lord Jesus died as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the human family and that all who believe in him are justified on the basis of their faith in his shed blood.
...in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in his ascension into heaven, and in his present work there for us as our High Priest and Advocate.
...in the personal, pre-millennial, and imminent return of Christ.
...in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting bliss of the saved, and the everlasting, conscious suffering of the lost.
