2.    We believe that Jesus is the begotten Son of God, was born of a virgin, is fully God and fully  
       Man. Lived a sinless life, died as a substitutional sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried,
       arose from the grave and ascended into Heaven. We are accepted & justified before God
       through faith in Jesus Christ not by our works.
      John 1:14; 3:14; Matt. 4; Luke 4; Heb. 4:15; 2 Cor. 5:21

3.   We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead, who draws sinners to  
       repentance and empowers believers to live out the Christian life and to do the work
       of the ministry.
      John 6:44; Acts 1:8; 2 Peter 1:3; John 14:16-18; 16:5-15
   

4.   We believe that the Bible is the uniquely inspired Word of God without any error, the sole 
      authority for life.
      2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21 

5.   We believe that mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all men are
      sinners in need of salvation.
      Gen. 3:15; Rom 5:12-15; Rom. 3:23

6.   We believe that Salvation is a gift of grace from God, received through faith in the 
      Lord Jesus Christ.
      Rom 6:23; Titus 3:5; Eph 2:8-9; John 1:12 

7.   We believe that water baptism by immersion is in obedience to the command of Christ after  
       salvation.
      Rom. 6:3-10; Matt 28:18-20
 

8.   We believe that every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
      John 10:28-30; Eph 1:13-14; Heb 7:25; 10:10,14; 1 Peter 1:3-5 

9.   We believe that those persons who die without faith in Jesus Christ will spend eternity 
      in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven, through faith in Christ, spend
      eternity in Heaven.
      John 3:16; Rev 20:14-15 

10.  We believe that the local church is the local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus 
       Christ as the head.
       Eph 1:22-23; Col. 1:17-18 

11.  We believe that each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ and the 
       Bible, God’s Word.
      1 Timothy 2:5-6; Heb 10:19-26
