• The Scriptures

  The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man.

• God

There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe.

   God the Father: Reigns with providential care over His universe.                                                       

   God the Son: Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit  and born     of the virgin Mary.

   God the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures.               Through illumination He enables men to understand truth.

• Man

              Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His                      creation.

• Salvation

          Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour,                   who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.

• God's Purpose of Grace

          Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. 

• The Church

           A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by                    covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel.

• Baptism and the Lord's Prayer

           Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act                  of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, the believer's death to sin, the burial of                  the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.

              The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the                    fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.

• The Lord's Day

           The first day of the week is the Lord's Day. It is a Christian institution for regular observance.

• The Kingdom

              The Kingdom of God includes both His general sovereignty over the universe and His particular kingship over men who                            willfully acknowledge Him as King.

• Last Things

           God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ                    will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge all men in righteousness.

• Evangelism and Missions

           It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make                             disciples of all nations.

• Education

          Christianity is the faith of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ abide all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

• Stewardship

          God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him.

• Cooperation

          Christ's people should, as occasion requires, organize such associations and conventions as may best secure cooperation for                 the great objects of the Kingdom of God.
