The Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21)

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Mtt. 28:19; Jn. 15:26; I Jn. 5:7)

In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth; His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension and His personal future return to gather His saints and come to earth in glory. (Mtt. 1:18-23; 16:16; 28:6-7; Heb. 4:15; Lk. 8:22-25; Jn. 2:11; Isa. 53:7; 1 Jn. 2:1-2; I Cor. 15: 3; Eph. 4:8-10; Rom. 8:34)

That all people have sinned and need God's grace and forgiveness. The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ, which is abundantly available though Jesus' death on the cross. (Rom. 10:9-10; Acts 3:19)

As Christians we need to offer our whole lives to God (sanctification). When we surrender ourselves to God completely, His Spirit can fully mold us into Christlikeness; His perfect love is reflected in our attitudes and actions; and God empowers us to live more abundantly. (Rom. 12:1-2)

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling presence, the Christian is enables to live a godly life. (Jn 14:26; 2 Pet. 1:3)

There is a resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to eternal separation from God. (2 Cor. 5:10; Jn 5:28-29)

In the personal visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ (1 Thes. 4:16-17)

In the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph. 4:3-4; Rom. 12:5)

In observance of water baptism and the Lord's Supper. (Acts 2:38; 1 Cor. 11:23-25)
