Statement of Beliefs
The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible, God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and
New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally, and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and
that it was written without error (inerrant) in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final
authority in all matters on which it speaks.
We accept those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general
agreement among all true Christians. Because of the specialized calling of our movement, we
desire to allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation
is based upon the Bible alone, and that no such interpretation shall become an issue which hinders
the ministry to which God has called us.
1. There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - each of
whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
2. Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by
the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one
person forever.
3. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their
substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him
alone.
4. He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
5. He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He,
the only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
6. Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was
alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
7. Man's nature is corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of
regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
8. The salvation of man is wholly a work of God's free grace and is not the work, in whole or in
part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to
those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justified them in His sight.
9. It is the privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the
very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any
kind of human merit, but is produced by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the
believer the testimony of God in His written word.
10. The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work
of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually
indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His
fullness, power, and control are appropriated in the believer's life by faith.
11. Every believer is called to live so in the power of the indwelling Spirit that he will not fulfill the lust
of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
12. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all men, living and
dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
13. God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in
ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures, and for mutual encouragement.
14. At physical death the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord
and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
15. At physical death the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the
Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
16. Jesus Christ will come again to the earthpersonally, visibly and bodilyto consummate history
and the eternal plan of God.
17. The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world
and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all
worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to Him who loved us and
gave Himself for us.
