WE BELIEVE the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God. ( Matthew 5:17-18; ll Timothy 3:16)

WE BELIEVE in one God manifested in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory.

(Deuteronomy 6:4; John 13:3, 16-17; l Corinthians 8:6)

WE BELIEVE that the Son of God existed from the beginning with the Father. When He came in the flesh He was conceived in a supernatural manner by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary as our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who lived a life of sinlessness, and by His death on the cross made full atonement for our sins through His shed blood. He rose bodily from the dead on the third day. He ascended into heaven where He now sits at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf.

WE BELIEVE in the return of Christ to establish His Kingdom on earth at a time known only by the Father.

(Isaiah 7:14; John 1:1 ; Acts 1:11; Philippians 2:5-11)
