We affirm that Jesus Christ, son of the living God, having died for the sins of the world, has been raised from the dead by God the Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Scriptures are the written witness to the resurrection: its prediction, its historical recording, and its future fulfillment. Followers of Christ,disciples, prophets and chosen people who experienced God gave written witness which was collected and affirmed by the historic church as God’s inspired Holy Word. Their writings have been faithfully passed down through the ages, and protected by the church.

We affirm God’s verbal plenary inspiration of Holy Scriptures, both Old and NewTestaments. They are God-breathed, having been  inspired by the Holy Spirit. They are inerrant in every issue they intend to speak because God is their source. The Scriptures are infallible, authoritative as the Word of God, complete, necessary, and sufficient. 

We affirm that there is one God. He is perfect and is eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We affirm that Jesus Christ, the second person of the trinity, existed before time. Being eternal, he is begotten of the Father but is not a created being. In the hypostatic union, Christ is of one body, but both natures,  fully divine and fully man, existing in one person and single substance without either suffering, diminishing, or nullifying the properties of the other. As God and man, he is the only sufficient sacrificial substitute for sin. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe in His vicarious and atoning death for our sins through His shed blood, and in His bodily resurrection from the dead for our justification. He has ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven, where He intercedes as our High Priest. We affirm the personal, earthly return of our Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.

We affirm the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who exists eternally with God. Though he has existed as omnipresent, he took up special dwelling on earth on the day of Pentecost. He indwells all believers, regenerates their souls unto salvation, seals them in faith, and enlightens them to understand Scripture, and grants them gifts for the glorification of God and the unifying of the church body.

We affirm humanity is created in the image of God. Through sin, physical death and corruption entered the world, and through sin mankind is separated from a relationship with God, the source of life. Thus, all are now born separated from God and can be brought into relationship with God through the atoning work of Jesus Christ.

We affirm salvation is the remittance of sin through the death of Christ leading to life eternal in the resurrection of Christ. It is only through the atonement available through Jesus Christ that the debt of sin is repaid, the depravity of sin removed, and the effects of death abolished. The atonement of Christ is available to all but effective for those who believe in Christ. The process of salvation includes the justification, sanctification and glorification of all believers.

We affirm the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those who believe are saved by resurrection into an eternity of life spent in God’s presence. All who are unbelieving are lost unto the resurrection of damnation, an eternity of conscious torment away from the presence of God.

We affirm the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that the Church consists of all those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The church is united by Christ and commanded each  to make disciples of all nations.

We affirm the local Christian Church as the primary and sufficient vehicle initiated and founded by God through the power of the Holy Spirit to labor together to accomplish God’s mission of making disciples. Local Christian Church members join together for worship, prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the Gospel, and observance of the ordinances of believers’ Baptism and Communion as instituted by the Lord Jesus.
