We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God. We believe that the godhead exists eternally in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God. We believe that God is the absolute and sole Creator of the universe and that creation was by divine decree. We believe that mankind was created by a direct act of God in His image but that mankind sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, bom of the virgin Mary. and is truly God and truly man. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures. We believe that all who repent of their sins and receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ, are born again as God's children and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there at the right hand of God the Father. We believe in the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in glory.
