1. The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God, and as such provides us with the truths necessary for a life and service. (I Thes.2:13; II Tim. 3:16; II Pet. 1:21)

2. In the one true God, who exists in the persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who are one in the essence and nature. (Gen. 1:26; Mat. 28:9; Jn. 10:30)

3. God created man in his own image, to fellowship with and serve Him forever, but that man has been separated from God by sin, and as such stands spearated from God and as such stands condemned. (Gen. 1:26-27; Rom. 3:22; 5:12; 6:23)

4. Jesus Christ is God the Son, eternally existent as God, yet incarnate as man through the virgin birth. He lived a perfect human life, and, because of God's great love and mercy, died for us as a substitutionary sacrifice, paying the penalty for our sin, that through His finished work on the cross God could reconcile the world to Himself, offering man freedom from judgment and the promise of eternal life with God. He arose from the dead, and has ascended to the Father, where He acts as the mediator, intercessor, and advocate of all true believers. It is His resurrection that confirms the truth of who He is, the finality of His work, and the assurance of His own resurrection. (Jn. 1:1-18; Rom. 5:8-19; I Cor. 15:1-56; Col. 1:15-22; Heb. 9:15; I Jn. 2:1-2)

5. That it is by God's grace through faith in Christ alone that we are saved, justified, and reconciled to God as His children. (Jn. 1:12; Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:8-9)

6. In the person and work of God the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and who indwells all believers, empowering them to live in, through, and for God. (Jn. 16:5-15; Rom. 8:9-16; Gal. 5:16-25)

7. In the oneness of the Body of Christ, His church, composed of all believers in Christ, irrespective of age, gender, race, culture, or doctrinal/denominational affiliations. (Gal. 3:26-28; Eph. 4:3-6)

8. In the personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the resurrection of both believers and unbelievers; believers to a glorified state with Christ, and unbelievers to eternal judgment. (Jn. 5.28; I Thes.4:16-17; Titus 2:13)
