We acknowledge the absolute supremacy and lordship of Jesus Christ, and believing that His word and will must be final in all matters to those who claim to be Christian, on His authority we affirm the following truths as the basic faith and teaching of this Church:

1.     The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, as originally given of God, are the infallible record of the perfect, final and authoritative revelation of his work and will, together sufficient in themselves as the rule of faith and practice.

2.     The one true God, perfect and infinite in his being, holiness, love, wisdom and power; transcendent above the world as its creator, yet immanent in the world as the preserver of all things; self-existent and self-revealing in three divine persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, who are equal in power and glory.

3.     Jesus Christ the Eternal Son, revealer of the invisible God, who became incarnate by virgin birth, lived the perfect human life upon earth, gave himself in death upon the cross as the Lamb of God bearing sin and its penalty in our stead, was raised and glorified in the body in which he suffered and died, ascended as our only Savior and Lord into heaven, from whence he will come again personally and visibly to raise and translate his waiting Church, establish his kingdom fully over all the nations, and be the raiser and judge of the dead.

4.     The Holy Spirit, third person of the Godhead, the divine life-giver and artist in creation,
history and redemption, who indwells, seals, empowers, guides, teaches and perfects all those who become children of God through Christ.

5.     That man and woman were the direct creation of God, made in the divine image, and that
by transgression became fallen creatures, alienated from the life of God, universally sinful by nature and practice, and having within themselves no means of recovery.

6.     That salvation is the free gift of God's grace, received through personal faith in the Lord Christ, in whom all those who believe have eternal life, a perfect righteousness, adoption in the family of God, membership in the body of Christ, and every spiritual blessing needed for life and Godliness; but those who reject the gift of grace in Christ shall be forever separated from the presence of God.

7.     That Christian character and conduct are the expression of one's relationship with Christ and one's life in the community of Christ; and therefore Christians are bound to honor Christ's word, to walk as he walked, to keep his commandments and ordinances, and thus bear the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and self-control, against which there is no law.

8.     That the teachings of the Bible declare that the sanctity of human life at every stage is based on our creation in the image of God and our election by God for service of the Kingdom. Additionally, the Bible provides guidelines for human sexuality: chastity outside of marriage, lifelong fidelity and holiness in marriage on such matters as marriage, divorce, and the family are of permanent value and obligation.

9.     The mission of the Church is to spread the good news of the Gospel of salvation in every word and deed. We are sent by Christ into all the world to bring every person into a life of faith, discipleship, and submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
