Doctrinal Statement

1. God is the infinite personal Spirit, who has revealed Himself as a Trinity in unity, existing eternally as Father, Son, and Spirit – three Persons and yet but one God.

2. The Bible, including both the Old and New Testament, is a divine revelation, the original autographs of which were inspired by the Holy Spirit, so that the words were kept from error.

3. Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, which is to say, He is Himself God; He took upon Him our nature, being conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary; He died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the world; He arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified; He ascended into heaven in that body glorified, where He is now, our interceding High Priest; He will come again personally to set up His kingdom and to judge the quick and the dead.

4. Man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin, and in that sense is lost; this is true of all men except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God; salvation is by grace through faith in Christ who His own self bear our sins in His own body on the tree, the retribution of the wicked and unbelieving and the reward of the righteousness are everlasting; and as the reward is conscious, so is the retribution.

5. The Church is an elect company of believers baptized by the Holy Spirit into one body, each believer living his life in the power of the Holy Spirit; its mission being to witness concerning its head Jesus Christ, and teach and preach the Gospel among all nation.

6. The entire program of Christian training is evangelical. It finds its reasons for being, and it’s goal, in bringing the individual to a personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, in helping the Christian grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord, and in equipping Christians for more effective service.
