The doctrine of Scripture: The Bible is God’s unique revelation to mankind, the fully inspired, infallible Word of God. It is the supreme and final authority and without error in what it teaches and affirms.

 

The doctrine of God: There is only one true God. He exists eternally as three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each fully God yet each personally distinct from the other. God is the creator of everything.

​

The doctrine of Sin: Everyone, regardless of race, gender, social class, or intellectual ability, is created in God’s image and for communion with God. But because of sin, that communion was broken and all of humanity was separated from God, the source of all life. Because of the fall, everyone deserves God’s judgment.

 

The doctrine of Salvation: Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and God gives salvation and eternal life to those who trust in him. Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that is received by repentance and faith in Christ.

 

Sacraments – Baptism and holy communion: Jesus Christ instructed those who have personally believed in Him, to be baptized by being immersed in water as an outward expression of their new birth in Christ. The Lord also instituted the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of His suffering, death, and resurrection.

 

The doctrine of Christ: Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary — he was God in human flesh. He lived a sinless human life, yet willingly took upon himself sins of mankind by dying in our place and on our behalf. He rose bodily, victorious over death. He ascended to Heaven and is at the right hand of the Father as the believer’s advocate and mediator. He will return to consummate history and fulfill the eternal plan of God.

 

The doctrine of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin righteousness, judgment, and gives new life to those who trust in Jesus, the one that baptizes in the Holy Spirit. He indwells the believers and is available to empower them to lead Christ-like lives. The Spirit gives them spiritual gifts, ministries and anointing with which to serve fellow believers and reach out to a lost and needy world.

 

The doctrine of the Church: All believers are members of the body of Christ, the one true church universal. Spiritual unity is to be expressed among Christians by acceptance and love of one another across ethnic, cultural, socio-economic, national, generational, gender, and denominational lines. The local church is a group of believers who gather for worship, prayer, instruction, encouragement, mutual accountability, communion with each other, and as a witness to the world to disciple the Nations.

 

The doctrine of Judgment: At the final judgment, unbelievers will be condemned by God and will be cast into hell. Believers will be received into God’s loving presence in heaven. This is the eternal hope of all believers in Christ.
