Article I — The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, to be the divinely inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian conduct.
Article II — The True God
We believe in one God, eternally co-existing in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each Person is fully God, sharing the same divine attributes, nature, and glory, yet executing distinct but harmonious offices in the work of redemption.
Article III — God the Father
We believe in God the Father, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He is holy, righteous, loving, and merciful, directing all things according to His sovereign will to His ultimate glory.
Article IV — Jesus Christ
We believe in the absolute deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary and atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, His physical ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal, visible return in power and glory.
Article V — The Holy Spirit
We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, guides, and equips believers with spiritual gifts to empower them for holy living and effective ministry.
Article VI — Humanity and the Fall
We believe that humanity was created in the image and likeness of God, free from sin, to enjoy fellowship with the Creator. Through voluntary disobedience, humanity fell into sin, incurring physical death and spiritual separation from God. Consequently, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are in need of divine grace.
Article VII — Salvation by Grace
We believe that salvation is the gift of God, provided solely by grace through personal faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Believers are justified by Christ's shed blood, apart from human works, merits, or religious ordinances, receiving the gift of eternal life.
Article VIII — The Church
We believe that the Church is the spiritual Body of Christ, of which Christ is the Head. It is composed of all regenerated believers. The local church is a visible assembly of baptized believers associated by covenant for worship, fellowship, instruction, and the global proclamation of the Gospel.
Article IX — Christian Conduct and Ministry
We believe that every believer is called to live a holy life, separated from the sinful practices of the world, and to walk in a manner worthy of the Gospel. We are called to be faithful stewards of our time, talents, and resources, using them to edify the church and advance the Kingdom of God.
Article X — Final Resurrection and Consummation
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all humanity: the saved to eternal, conscious fellowship with God in a new heaven and new earth, and the lost to eternal, conscious separation from God under righteous judgment.
