We believe;

	That the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. II Timothy 3:16-17
	In one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in essence, while distinct in personality and function. Exodus 20:2-3; Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 8:6
	That Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, a virgin, and is true God, and true man. John 1:1,14; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Galatians 4:4
	In the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present life there as High Priest and Advocate. Matthew 28:1-7; Acts 1:8-11; I Corinthians 15:4-9; Hebrews 4:14-16
	That the Holy Spirit is the agent of the new birth through conviction and regeneration, and that He seals, indwells, and baptizes every believer into the body of Christ at the moment of conversion. We believe that the Holy Spirit fills, empowers, and distributes gifts to every believer. John 3:5; Ephesians 1:13; 2:20; 4:11-12; 5:18; Romans 8:9; 12:6-8; I Corinthians 12:1-13
	That man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God, that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are sinners in thought, word, and deed. Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 5:12,19; 3:10-13; Titus 1:15-16
	That the Lord Jesus Christ died a substitutionary sacrifice for all men. The blood atonement He made was unlimited in its potential. It is limited only in its application, effectively saving those who are brought by the Holy Spirit to repentance and faith. Isaiah 53:4-11; II Corinthians 5:14-21; I John 2:1-2; I Peter 2:1; I Timothy 4:10; John 3:5-8, 16:8-13
	That all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God. John 1:12-13; 3:3-16; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8-9
	That it is impossible for one born into the family of God ever to be lost because he is forever kept by the power of God. John 10:28-29; Jude 1; I Peter 1:5
	In "that blessed hope" - the imminent return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, when the Church will be "gathered together unto Him," in the clouds, and be with Him forever. Titus 2:13; John 14:1-3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 15:51-58; II Thessalonians 2:1-13
	In the literal fulfillment of prophecies and promises of the scripture which foretell and assure the future regeneration and restoration of Israel as a nation. Genesis 13:14-17; Jeremiah 16:14-15; 30:6-11; Romans 11
	In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost. Matthew 25:31-46; Luke 16:19-31; I Thessalonians 4:13-18
	That the Church which is Christ’s body is the spiritual organism consisting of all born again believers in heaven and on earth, from Pentecost till the rapture. Ephesians 1:22-23; I Corinthians 12:13
	That the local church is the agency through which God has chosen to accomplish His work in the world. A New Testament Local Church is an organized body comprised of baptized believers who are immersed upon a credible confession of faith in Jesus Christ. It has two offices (pastor and deacon) and is congregational in polity and autonomous in nature. Its members have banded together for work, worship, edification of the saints, the observance of the ordinances, and the worldwide fulfillment of the great commission. We believe that the local church, under Christ’s headship, is to be free from any external hierarchy and should not associate itself with any ecumenical endeavour, neo-orthodoxy, neo-evangelicalism, or any such effort to compromise the Truth. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-47, 8:26-39; I Corinthians 11:23-28; Colossians 2:12
	That the scriptural ordinances of the local church are baptism and the Lord’s Supper; that baptism by immersion should be administered to believers only as a symbol of their belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and as a testimony to the world of that belief and of their death, burial and resurrection with Him; and that the Lord’s Supper should be partaken of by baptized believers to show forth His death "til He come." Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-47; 8:26-39; I Corinthians 11:23-28; Colossians 2:12
