DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
A. Scriptures We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments only, to be the verbal-plenary inspired Word of God. We believe the King James Version is the preserved Word of God for English speaking people. We believe the Bible is inerrant and that it is the sole authority on matters of faith and practice. (Psalm 12:6; Psalm 119:89; II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21.)
B. Godhead We believe in one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that they are equal in every divine perfection and are executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption. (Matthew 28:19; John 14:7-12; John 16:7.)
C. Jesus Christ We believe Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, begotten by the Holy Spirit: that He is fully God and fully man. We believe Jesus shed His blood to atone for our sins, willingly gave His life as a ransom for all, was bodily raised from the dead and ascended into Heaven, where He now makes intercession for us, and is coming again to receive His own. (Matthew 1:18-21; John 1:1-2; Acts 1:8-11; Colossians 1:19-20.)
D. Holy Spirit We believe the Holy Spirit is a divine person, the third person of the Godhead, and that He convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment, that He indwells the believer at the moment of regeneration, and that He infills and empowers believers for service as they yield themselves and surrender to His will. ( John 15:26; John 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 5:18.)
E. Sin We believe that man, who was created in God's image, became a sinner through voluntary disobedience to God's Word, and that through one man's sin the curse of sin came upon all humankind, resulting in not only physical, but also spiritual death. There is not one without sin, therefore all are in need of a Saviour (Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:14-15.)
