01 · The Holy Scriptures
The Holy Scriptures as the revealed will of God, the all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. The Holy Bible, consisting of sixty-six (66) books including the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man concerning the will of God in all things necessary to our faith, conduct, and salvation, so that whatever is not contained therein is not to be enjoined as an article of faith.
Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20–21; 2 Timothy 3:15–1702 · One God in Three Persons
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10–11; Matthew 28:19; Mark 12:2903 · Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried and raised from the dead, ascended to heaven, and is today at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor.
Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 3:16–1704 · The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, and who with the Father and Son is together worshiped and glorified.
John 14:16–1705 · Humanity, Sin, and Salvation
Humanity was created in the image and likeness of God, but fell by voluntary transgression. Our only hope of redemption and salvation is in Jesus Christ. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Repentance is commanded of God for all and is necessary for forgiveness of sin. Salvation, new birth, and justification are accomplished by the grace of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the renewing work of the Holy Ghost.
Genesis 1:26–31; 3:1–7; Romans 5:12–21; 6:23; 10:13; Titus 2:11; 3:5–706 · Evidence of Salvation
The inward evidence of salvation, new birth, and justification to the believer is the direct witness of the Spirit, and the outward evidence to all people is a life of righteousness and holiness.
Romans 8:16; 12:1–207 · Water Baptism
We believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, for all who repent and believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47; Romans 6:408 · Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ, with the subsequent manifestation of the gifts and fruits of the Spirit.

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of bread and the fruit of the vine, is a memorial of Christ’s suffering and death and a proclamation of His second coming, to be observed by believers until He comes.
Luke 22:17–20; 1 Corinthians 10:16–17; 11:23–3210 · Divine Healing

Isaiah 53:4; Matthew 8:16–17; Mark 16:18–20; James 5:14–1611 · The Church and Ministry
The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for fulfilling His Great Commission. Divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry serves the evangelization of the world and the edification of the body of Christ.
Ephesians 1:22–23; 2:19–22; Hebrews 12:23; Mark 16:15–20; Ephesians 4:11–1312 · The Blessed Hope
