What we believe

Eager to affirm our loyalty to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and to fulfill His will in a local church established according to the New Testament model, we wish to confess our faith as follows:

 

God

We believe in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things.

 

The Holy Scriptures

 

We believe in the divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Bible (composed of the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament), which is the Word of God, free from error in its original texts.

 

Jesus Christ and His Work

 

We believe in the essential, absolute, and eternal divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ; in His birth from Mary, the virgin; in His perfect humanity; in His substitutionary and atoning death, by which He gave His life as “a ransom for many”; in His bodily resurrection and His ascension to the right hand of the Father; in His personal and visible return at the time appointed by the Father, to judge the living and the dead, and to establish the new earth and the new heavens.

 

Man, the Fall, and the Consequence of Sin

 

We believe that through his disobedience, Adam led all humanity into rebellion, corruption, and condemnation; and that, apart from Jesus Christ, humanity remains under the wrath of God.

 

Salvation

 

We believe that for man to be saved, he must, under the work of the Holy Spirit, repent of his sins and, by faith, claim the atoning work of the Redeemer and His infinite merits. The sinner, thus justified, regenerated, and sanctified by grace, receives eternal life.

 

The Holy Spirit

 

We believe in the divinity and personality of the Holy Spirit; in His personal indwelling in every true Christian; and in His continuous work within the Church.

 

The Church

 

We believe in the true spiritual unity in Christ of all those whom He has redeemed through His unique sacrifice and that it is our duty to join a local church under the lordship of Christ.

 

The Ordinances

 

We believe in the symbolic significance of the two ordinances of Christ, which are:

a) Baptism: by immersion, for believers only.

b) The Lord’s Supper: a commemoration of the death of our Lord, reserved for true believers.

The Final Judgment

We believe in the eternal blessedness of the redeemed and the eternal punishment of unrepentant sinners.
