1. God

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three substinces: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal and consubstantial, sharing the same divine essence and perfections. God is sovereign in creation, providence, and redemption.

2. Revelation

We affirm that God has revealed Himself and His truth in the created order and supremely in the person of Jesus Christ. He has made His will known through the Holy Scriptures, which are the Old and New Testaments, given by divine inspiration and inerrant in the original manuscripts. They are the final authority for all matters of faith and life.

3. Creation and Fall

We believe that God created the universe ex nihilo (out of nothing) in six days. Humanity was created in the image of God and was originally sinless. However, through Adam's sin, all humanity fell and inherited a sinful nature and is now subject to divine wrath and condemnation.

4. Jesus Christ

We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He is true God and true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life. His death on the cross paid the penalty for the sins of His people, and His bodily resurrection assures us of victory over sin and death.

5. Salvation

Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. No act of human merit can contribute to our salvation; it is wholly of God’s doing. Those whom God has elected and for whom Christ died are irresistibly drawn by the Holy Spirit to believe in Christ.

6. The Holy Spirit

We believe in the vital work of the Holy Spirit, who regenerates sinners, indwells believers, guides, instructs, equips, revives, and empowers believers for Christ-like living and service.

7. The Church

We affirm the universal Church, which is the body of Christ, and includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and nation. We also affirm the importance of the local church for fellowship, worship, service, and the administration of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

8. The Last Things

We believe in the personal, glorious, and bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ at a time unknown to us, but for which we are to be ever prepared. This will usher in the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment. After judgment, eternal blessedness in the presence of God awaits the believer, while eternal separation from God awaits the unbeliever.

9. Christian Living

We call believers to live in the world as salt and light, striving for godliness and justice, and witnessing to God’s saving grace through Jesus Christ. We urge them to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints, resisting the world, the flesh, and the devil.

10. The Glory of God

Our chief aim in all of life is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. We commit to worship God in spirit and truth, to obey His commandments, and to advance His kingdom through the proclamation of the Gospel.
