What We Believe


The Person and Work of Christ

We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God;1 that without ceasing to be God He became a man,2 having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.3 We believe the Son of God came to glorify
the Father4 by revealing God,5 destroying the works of the devil,6 and redeeming sinful people by His substitutionary, atoning death through His blood shed on the cross.7 We believe in the physical resurrection of our Lord’s crucified body;8 His bodily ascension into heaven;9 His exaltation
to the right hand of the Father10 where, as High Priest of
His people,11 He fulfills the ministry of Representative,12 Intercessor,13 and Advocate.14 We believe in the
imminent,15 bodily16 coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for
the Church17 and His subsequent premillennial return to establish His Kingdom on earth.

Conclusion

We not only believe
that this body of
doctrine is a sacred
trust to be preserved
and taught in its purity, but we also believe it
is a life to be lived
and a gospel to be preached.
