What We Believe

1. The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's
revelation of Himself to man. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ,
who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.

2. There is one and only one living and true God. The eternal triune
God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct
personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

3. Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image.

4. Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered
freely to all, who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by
His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.

5. Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He
regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners.

6. A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous
local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in
the faith and fellowship of the gospel.

7. Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the
name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act, whereby members of the church,
through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize
the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.

8. The first day of the week is the Lord's Day.

9. THe Kingdom of God includes both His general sovereignty over the
universe and His particular kingship over men who willfully acknowledge
Him as King.

10. God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its
appropriate end.
