1.        THE SCRIPTURES - We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely
inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction.

2.        THE TRUE GOD - We believe that there is only one true God. He is revealed to us
as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of
nature.

3.        THE FALL OF MAN - We believe that man was created by God in a state of
holiness but through the temptation of Satan, he transgressed the command of God by free
choice fell from his original state.

4.        THE WAY OF SALVATION - We believe that salvation involves the redemption of
the whole man and is offered to all through the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation
includes regeneration, sanctification and glorification.

5.        JUSTIFICATION - We believe that justification is God's gracious and full acquittal
upon principles of righteousness of all sinners who believe in Christ.

6.        THE FREENESS OF SALVATION - We believe that the blessings of salvation are
made free to all.

7.        REPENTANCE AND FAITH - We believe that repentance and faith are sacred
duties, wrought in our souls by the Spirit of God.

8.        THE GOSPEL CHURCH - We believe that a visible church of Christ is a
congregation of baptized believers associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the
gospel. We observe the ordinances of Christ, are governed by His word and exercise our
gifts.

9.        BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER - We believe that Christian baptism is the
immersion in water of a believer. The Lord's Supper is the commemoration of the death of
the Lord Jesus, preceded by solemn self-examination.

10.        THE RESURRECTION - We believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that Jesus
rose from the dead. He now exists in His glorified body at God's right hand. There will be a
resurrection of the righteous and the wicked. The bodies of the righteous will conform to the
glorious spiritual body of Jesus Christ.
