WE BELIEVE [in] ...

1. The divine inspiration, authority and sufficiency of the Bible.

2. The unity of the Godhead with the distinction of Persons; namely the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

3. That Jesus Christ while being the eternal Son of God, truly became man, begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; that He was crucified on the cross; that He was buried and raised from the dead on the third day; that He ascended to God; and that He will come again.

4. That in consequence of the Fall, man became lost and is at enmity against God; that he is also without strength to do the will of God.

5. The need of the Holy Spirit's work in regeneration and sanctification.

6. That the justification of the sinner before God is by faith in Christ; that every justified one is also born of God when he repents and personally accepts Christ; that the new birth results in and is made evident by holiness of life and good works; that all believers are baptized in the Spirit and so into the Church.

7. At death, the spirit of man does not cease to exist or become unconscious. The believer enters into the presence of God eternally and the unbeliver into condemnation.

8. The Church is a spiritual organism comprising all who are truly believers. Christ Himself is the Head of the Church which is His body, and members are responsible to Him for personal growth, for mutual care and for witness to the world.
