We believe that the 66 books of the Bible are the only inspired, infallible words of the living God (Jude 3 , Proverbs 30:6, Revelation 22:18).
We believe without any reservation, that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, the only begotten Son of God (Matthew 3:17, 17:5).
We believe that He was crucified, dead, buried, and that on the third day after death occurred, God raised Him bodily from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4).
We believe that after His resurrection, He was seen for over a period of 40 days by Peter, by all of the apostles, and by 500 Christians at one time (I Corinthians 15:1-8).
We believe that there is only one body (the Church), one Holy Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God and Father (Ephesians 4:1-6).
We believe that there is a heaven to be gained and a hell to be avoided (Matthew 25:14-31).
We believe that the only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus as the risen Lord, confession of that faith, repentance of one's sins, and burial in water (Christian Baptism) for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:37-41).
We believe that in order to remain a Christian, one must continue steadfastly in the apostle's teachings, fellowship with other Christians, participate in the Lord's Supper, and pray regularly (Acts 2:42).
