The Bible (composed of Protestant Old and New Testaments) is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:21; 1 Cor. 2:13; Mark 12:26,36; 13:11; Acts 1:16; 2:4).

Salvation is a free gift of God offered to all humanity by grace and received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This faith is expressed in works pleasing to God. (John 3:16, 14:6; Romans 3:28, 8:31-39; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:26-27,36-39; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Timothy 2:5-6).

There is one God who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three share the divine nature and are worthy of all worship, confidence and obedience (Mark 12:29; John 1:1-4; Mat. 28:19,20; Acts 5:3,4; 2 Cor. 13:14; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 1:4-6).

The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, sent to unify all believers into one body, the Church. The Spirit’s indwelling is the source and power of all acceptable worship and service. He is our abiding Comforter and Helper, and is always present to testify about Christ (John 7:38-39; 14:16-17; 15:26; 16:13-14; Acts 1:8; Rom. 8:9; Phil. 3:3).

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. He lived a sinless life, died for the sins of humankind, was resurrected bodily on the third day, ascended into heaven and is coming again as King and Judge. Jesus Christ is the only provision that God has given for people to be reconciled to Him. Jesus' life on earth also serves as the model for the Christian life. (Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:14, 8:40,58, 11:33; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 5:8-10; Colossians 1:15-17; Hebrews 1:8).

Both the saved and the lost will experience a physical resurrection; those who are saved to eternal life, and those who are lost to eternal judgment (Rom 8:23; I Cor 15, Psalm 90:3-4; Rev 20:12-15; Mat 25:31-46).

Humans were created in the image and likeness of God, but through Adam’s sin all humanity has fallen and inherited a sin nature. Without God’s intervention, humanity is lost, alienated from God and incapable of attaining salvation by any personal effort or merit (Genesis 1:26; Romans 3, 5:12-19; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:18-19).

The Church is the body and bride of Christ, a spiritual family united by the Holy Spirit. As members of one another we are responsible to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, loving one another with a pure heart. Jesus Christ, the Head over all the church, commanded His people to hold to the practice of water baptism and the regular taking of Communion. These practices are not essential for salvation, but they demonstrate our living faith in Him.
