We believe—

• In the verbal inspiration of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments;

• The Trinity of the Godhead;

• The creation of man by the direct act of God;

• The fall of man and his need for redemption;

• The Deity, Incarnation and Virgin Birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ;

• Jesus Christ’s vicarious atonement for the sins of mankind by the shedding of His blood on the cross;

• The resurrection of Jesus Christ’s body from the tomb;

• Jesus Christ’s ascension into heaven;

• Jesus Christ’s personal, imminent return;

• The Deity of the Holy Spirit;

• Justification of the believer by grace through faith;

• A literal devil who is our adversary;

• A literal heaven for the redeemed and a literal hell for the lost;

• The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture to be Scripture itself.
