1. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 2. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His saving death, in His bodily resurrection in His ascension to His Father on high, and in His eventual return in power. 3. We believe in the Holy Spirit who is at work in the world, convicting people of sin, restoring them to God and providing His presence, power and instruction to enable us to live a godly life. 4. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God and the final authority for our life and faith. 5. We affirm the teaching of the historic statements of faith of the church including the Nicene Creed and Apostle’s Creed. 6. We believe that we are, by nature and by our own actions, separated from God and that we cannot heal the separation in our own efforts. 7. We believe in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Faith is not inherited but comes as a personal decision to surrender our lives to Christ and receive the new birth He offers. 8. We believe that faith without works is dead. We believe that God calls all disciples, men and women, to use their talents and gifts in His service. God calls us to minister to the community and the world in words and in compassionate actions. 9. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10. We believe that the church is the body of Christ on earth to show the world what God desires for human life and relationships.
