We believe that the Bible, consisting of 66 books, is the infallible Word of God, inspired and without error in the original manuscripts (2 Timothy 3:16).

It is our supreme authority for knowing the truth and applying principles in harmony with its teachings (Psalm 119:160).

God spoke through inspired human authors; His message is fixed in its context, though its application may vary (1 Peter 1:10–12, 2 Peter 1:20–21).

We need the guidance of the Holy Spirit to understand it correctly, since our own limitations can cloud its message (John 16:13).

We believe in one eternal, living, and glorious God who exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each fully God (John 17:3, John 1:1, 14, John 15:26).

God finds supreme joy in the perfect fellowship of the Trinity, eternally delighting in His own glory (Matthew 3:16–17, John 17:24).

We believe that God sent His Son, Jesus the Messiah, born of the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is fully God and fully man in one Person (Galatians 4:4–5, John 1:14, 1 Timothy 2:5).

He lived without sin, preached with authority, and performed miracles that displayed His divine power, fulfilling the prophecies of the Old Testament (Matthew 8:16, Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 53).

He suffered, was crucified, died, was buried, and rose again on the third day, fulfilling God’s redemptive plan. He now reigns at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us (Matthew 28:5–7, Acts 1:9, Romans 8:34).

We believe that the Holy Spirit has been at work since creation and, following Christ’s ascension, was poured out upon the Church to glorify the Son, empower the preaching of the gospel, and transform believers (Acts 2:33, John 16:14).

The Spirit regenerates, convicts of sin, distributes spiritual gifts, and makes the gospel effective by opening hearts to faith. Apart from His work, no one can come to Christ, because all are spiritually dead and blind to His glory (Ephesians 2:1–5, 1 Corinthians 12:4–11).

His mission is inseparably connected to the proclamation of the gospel. There is no salvation apart from receiving Christ through the Spirit, except in cases such as infants or those with severe disabilities (Romans 10:17, 1 Corinthians 12:3).

We believe that humanity was created upright, but fell through disobedience to God after being deceived by Satan, losing its innocence and fellowship with God (Genesis 3:6–8).

As descendants of Adam, we all inherit corruption, guilt, and condemnation. We are enslaved to sin and unable to seek God on our own (Romans 5:12, Romans 3:10–18).

All creation suffers as a result of this fall. Sickness, pain, and suffering reflect the seriousness of sin, and every day of life is a display of God’s mercy calling us to repentance (Romans 8:20–22, Lamentations 3:22–23).

We believe that salvation is a work of God’s grace, planned from eternity and accomplished through the death of Christ. It is a gift received by faith, not by works, and is secured by the perfect obedience of Jesus (Ephesians 1:4–6, Romans 3:24, Ephesians 2:8–9).

The Holy Spirit regenerates the heart, convicts of sin, and gives faith, leading the believer to be transformed into the image of Christ (John 3:5–8, Romans 8:29).

We are justified by faith alone, but true faith always produces good works as the fruit of a changed life (Romans 5:1, James 2:17). Salvation, from beginning to end, is by grace and guarantees the believer’s security and growth.

We believe that, from eternity, God ordained all that comes to pass in order to display His glory and give eternal joy to those who love Him (Ephesians 1:4–5, Romans 8:29–30).

He governs all things, from the universe to the most hidden actions, with perfect wisdom and without sin, while upholding the moral responsibility of every person (Colossians 1:16–17, Daniel 4:35, Romans 9:19–21).

By His grace alone, God chose those who would be saved in Christ before the foundation of the world, calling them to repentance and faith (Ephesians 1:4–5, 2 Timothy 1:9).

We believe in one universal Church, made up of all who are united to Christ by faith, with Him as its Head and Sustainer. Its supreme purpose is to glorify God through eternal worship (Ephesians 1:22–23, 1 Corinthians 10:31).

This Church is expressed in local congregations where believers gather to worship, hear the Word, participate in baptism and the Lord’s Supper, build one another up, practice church discipline, and evangelize (Acts 2:42, Matthew 28:19–20).

Baptism is a sign of union with Christ in His death and resurrection, symbolizing cleansing and new life (Romans 6:3–4, Acts 2:38). The Lord’s Supper is an act of remembrance and proclamation of His death, in which believers spiritually participate in the benefits of His sacrifice (1 Corinthians 11:23–26).

Each church should recognize qualified men to lead as pastors-elders. Although women are not to serve in this role, they are called to build up the Church through their gifts (1 Timothy 3:1–7, Titus 1:5–9).

We believe that when Christians die, they are made perfect and brought into the presence of Christ, experiencing a glory greater than anything on earth (2 Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:23).

We believe that Christ will return personally and visibly at the end of the age, raise the dead, judge the nations, and establish His kingdom (Acts 1:11, Matthew 24:30). The righteous will enjoy eternal joy, while the unrighteous will suffer eternally (Matthew 25:46, Romans 2:8–9).

We believe that the end will bring unending joy for the redeemed, as God reveals more of His glory for their eternal delight (Revelation 21:4, Psalm 16:11).
