We Believe...

• In One God - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• That the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenaryinspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christianliving.
• That man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore,inclined to evil, and that continually.
• That the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
• That the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole humanrace; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord JesusChrist is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominionof sin.
• That believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• That the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and alsoto the entire sanctification of believers.
• That our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and thefinal judgement will take place
