2. We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three in one, co-equal. Matthew 28:18-19, Mark 12:29, John 1:1-14
3.We believe in God, the Father, who is spirit, infinite, eternal, unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, truth and love. Galatians 3:26, John 3:16, Ephesians 1:3-8, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:6, John 4:24
4.We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary; that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man by His shed blood and death on the cross. 1 John 1-4,Luke 1:35, Romans 3:24-25, 1 Peter 2:24
5.We believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, the Father as our High Priest where He ministers as our Intercessor, Advocate and Representative. Acts 1:9-10, Hebrews 9:24, 7:25, Romans 8:34, 1 John 2:1-2
6.We believe in the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He is in the life of every believer, and He empowers the preaching and teaching of the Gospel. We believe in living by the Spirit, walking in the Spirit, and producing fruit in the Spirit. John 14:16-17,26, Galatians 5:22-23, Romans 8:26, 1 Corinthians 6:19, John 16:8, 12-15, Romans 5:5
7.We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature. Genesis 1:26, Romans 3:23, Psalm 8:3-8

9. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby, they become children of God, and heirs of eternal life. This is a relationship in which they are eternally secure. We believe that man’s salvation is God’s gift of eternal life brought to man by grace alone and not by works. 1 Peter 1:3, Ephesians 2:6-8, Romans 8:17, Romans 6:4, Romans 10:9-10,John 3:1-8, Romans 6:23, 1 Peter 1:18, 19, 23

11. We believe in the existence of Satan, who is still working in the world to destroy the souls of men and that he and all his angels and all who do not receive Christ as their Savior will eternally perish in the lake of fire. Job 1:6-7, Isaiah 14:12-17, Matthew 4:2-11, James 4:7, Ephesians 6:11-12, Revelation 20:10

We believe that the imminent coming of Christ is to rapture the living members of the Church and to resurrect those dead in Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 3:10, 2 Peter 3:3-10, Revelation 20:1-25, 21:1-22:7
