THE BIBLE - We believe that EVERY word in the Bible is inspired by God, and therefore, the whole Bible is the true unalterable Word of God, which clearly teaches the way of salvation. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)

MAN - We believe that God created man with body and soul, in His image, but man of his own free will lost this image through sin. ( Gen. 1:27; 2:2; 3)

SIN - Sin is the transgression of the Law (1 John 3:4). There are two kinds of sin: original (inherited) sin (Ps. 51:5) and actual sin (sin in thought word and deed) (Matt. 15:19). Man is subject to death and eternal damnation by reason of the guilt that attaches to sin.

REDEMPTION - We believe that God, out of pure love and mercy redeemed mankind from sin through the all- sufficient sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus, and His resurrection shows that God was satisfied with the work of Christ (John 3:16, John 2:2, Romans 4:25, Romans 5:1)

FAITH - We believe that the sinner must personally accept the merits of Jesus for salvation and

sincerely trust, " Jesus died for me" (John 17:3, James 1:21, Ps 31:14).

THE CHURCH - We believe that the Church, established by Christ is the whole number of believers in Christ, for only believers are members of the Church. Jesus Christ is the one and only foundation. (Eph 2:19-22). The Church is found wherever the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached and the Sacraments are faithfully administered according to Christ's institution.

THE SACRAMENTS - We believe that Christ instituted two sacraments, Baptism and Communion. When baptism is administered to infants and adults, according to the command of Christ, God offers grace and forgiveness of sins (Acts 22:16). In the Lords Supper, communicants, also within and under the bread and wine, really receive Christ's actual body and blood for the forgiveness of sins. The bread (the host) and the wine are NOT a symbol of His body and blood but TRULY ARE the body and blood of Christ, in with and under the bread and wine. (1COR.11:240)

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST - We believe that Christ will return visibly to earth (ACTS 1:1) on the Last Day (Mark 13:32) to judge the world (Acts 10:42). The believers will go to heaven to be with God forever (1 Thess. 4:13-18). The unbelievers will go to hell, eternally separated from God (Matt.25:32,46).

RESURRECTION - We believe that on the Last Day believers in Christ will rise from the dead, their souls reunited with their earthly bodies and glorified by Christ (John 14:19, John 17:24).
