THE BIBLE We believe the Holy Scriptures to be verbally inspired of God in the original documents, infallible, and God-breathed, a perfect rule of faith and practice. THE TRINITY We believe in the Holy Trinity. We believe that there are three distinct persons in one Godhead. GOD THE SON We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and God the Son. He is the only Savior of mankind. He is God incarnate in human flesh. We believe in His virgin birth, His holy sinless life, His vicarious death and bodily resurrection. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and Son of God. He baptizes into the body of Christ, that He indwells all believers, that He fills the obedient, and is the believer's guide into the truth. MAN We believe that man was created in the likeness and image of God. Through the sin of Adam, man fell from his sinless state. SALVATION We believe that man is justified by faith in the shed blood of Christ and that he is born again by grace through faith. ETERNAL SECURITY We believe that once a person is born again, he cannot lose his salvation, that he is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. THE CHURCH We believe in the universal church, the body of Christ, which is comprised of all born-again believers of this age and that Christ is the only head of that church.
