| 1. | The Bible is True The sixty-six canonical books of the Bible as originally written were inspired by God, thus free from error. They are the only written infallible guide in Christian faith and practice. |
2. | There is One God There is one true God, Creator and Preserver of all things, existing eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  |
| 3. | Jesus is the Only Way That man, created in the image of God, through disobedience fell from his sinless state. This fall plunged man into a state of sin, spiritual death and separation from God, bringing with it a sentence of eternal death upon the whole human race. From this condition man can be saved only by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ.  |
4. | Jesus is the Messiah Jesus Christ is God. He is the Living Word who became flesh. His divine and human nature were perfectly united in One Person. He was born of the Virgin Mary; He lived a sinless life in full obedience to the Father; He was crucified, as the substitute for sinful man, shedding His blood for the forgiveness of sins. He was bodily resurrected from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He presently rules over His Kingdom as King of Kings, and where He intercedes as Mediator for the saints. He will again return to earth, visibly and bodily to consummate history and God's eternal plan. |
| 5. | The Holy Spirit is the Giver of Life The Holy Spirit applies to man the saving work of Christ. He convicts and draws men to Christ, enabling them to have saving faith. He bears internal witness to the reality of the person of Jesus Christ to the believer. He imparts new life, indwells and empowers believers for service, and He distributes gifts to the body. He affects growth and maturity for the believers, and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, and power and control are appropriated in the believer's life by faith. |
6. | We are Called to Holiness Every born-again believer is called by God to live a godly life, by crucifying the old nature, so as to not fulfill the desires of the flesh, and by living in the power and vitality of the Spirit, so as to bear fruit and glorify Jesus Christ.  |
| 7. | Everyone Has a Purpose Jesus Christ is Head of His body, the Church. All believers are members of His body by virtue of their regeneration. As a member of the body, each believer has been given at least one gift by the Holy Spirit to serve in the Kingdom of God. |
8. | We are Called to Togetherness As members of the local body of Christ, believers are responsible for one another, and are to gather together regularly for worship, teaching, koinonia (fellowship) and outreach. |
| 9. | It is Right to be Baptized The ordinance of baptism is the outward sign of God's Covenant of Faith with the believer. It is commanded of all who repent and believe in Christ. It signifies the believer's death to the old life and entrance into the new life. The ordinance of the Lord's Supper symbolizes the believer's sharing of the divine nature of Christ. It is a continual reminder of the forgiveness of sins which He offers the world, and it proclaims his death until His return. Tell me more about Baptism. |
10. | The Dead will be Resurrected At the end of the age, the dead will be resurrected, when there will be the separation of the righteous unto Heaven, and the unrighteous unto eternal Hell.  |
| 11. | We are Called to Proclaim Christ Until such time, believers are commanded to fulfill the Great Commission by proclaiming the gospel and making disciples of all men and nations. The fulfillment of the Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambition be subordinated to a total commitment to Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. |
