of the entire universe by God and in His creation of man in His image.

the unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

of communication with man, in part through His created universe, but primarily
through the divinely inspired, entirely trustworthy, infallible, and
authoritative Word, the Bible, which is our supreme authority in all matters of
faith and conduct.
4. We believe in the true deity
and true humanity of Jesus Christ, and the necessity and efficacy of His shed
blood and sacrificial death for the redemption of man from the guilt, penalty
and power of sin.
5. We believe that salvation is
in Jesus Christ and that there is no other name under heaven given among men
whereby we must be saved.

the Holy Spirit in the regeneration of those who respond to God’s offer of
redemption, and His continuing work as He dwells in the Christian and enables
him to minister and live a godly life.
7. We believe in the historical
fact of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the expectation of His
personal imminent return.
8. We believe in the spiritual
unity of believers of all peoples and nations in our Lord Jesus Christ.
