…IN THE ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD

As Creator of all things, He is all-knowing, all-powerful and every-where-present. This one true God is eternal Father; the source of all goodness, truth, and love who has manifested himself in his Son, Jesus Christ, for the purpose of redemption and as the Holy Ghost for the purpose of intervening in the lives of people. (Deuteronomy 6:4; II Corinthians 13:14; I Timothy 1:17; 3:16; 6:13-16)

…IN THE DIVINE INSPIRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES

And that the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are the Word of God given through Holy men as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that the Scriptures we possess today are the sufficient rule of faith and practice and the final authority for truth and salvation. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21)

…IN THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

Which declares Him to be the only begotten Son of God, who lived to show us the character, will, and works of God.  As the Savior, He was born of a virgin and lived a holy, sinless life. He was crucified and died on the cross in our place to be the supreme sacrifice for sin. He was buried in a tomb, but rose again the third day, as the scriptures foretold and God has highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name. As God manifested in the flesh, He is true God and true man and in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. (Acts 10:38-40; I Corinthians 15:1-4; Colossians 2:9)

…IN THE ORIGINAL BIBLICAL PLAN OF SALVATION

Proclaimed on the Day of Pentecost on the birthday of the New Testament church, which includes faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, sincere repentance, water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with the joyous experience of speaking supernaturally in other tongues- just as the believer did in the first century. (Acts 2:1-39; 10:44-48)

…IN THE LIVING OF HOLINESS

Both inwardly and outwardly, as a result of the working of God’s grace in us, for the Word of the Lord declares that all who name the name of Christ should depart from sin and separate themselves from the evil practices of this present age. (Ephesians 4:21-24; II Timothy 2:19; Hebrews 12:14)

…IN PRACTICING GENUINE CHRISTIANITY

By expressing our love to God through loving one another, sharing our faith, prayer, obedience to the word of God, commitment to our marriage companions and families, demonstrating the love and mercy of  God by helping one another in time of need, integrity and diligence in our employment, and dedication of our time, talent and possessions to advance the kingdom of God on earth (John 13:35)(Colossians 3)

..IN THE LOCAL AND UNIVERSAL CHURCH

Established by our Lord as a unique and special fellowship for all who believe. It is the spiritual community ordained for worship, stewardship, and service to God and people, of which every believer must become a part, for it is the body of Christ in the world today, displaying the same miraculous power and spiritual gifts experienced by the early church. (I Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4:4-16)

…IN THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST

That glorious appearing when our Lord shall come with the sound of a trumpet, when both those who have died in Christ and those who now live in Christ will rise to meet Him in the air to be with Him forever. (I Corinthians 15:51-55; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

…IN THE JUDGMENT OF ALL PEOPLE

When the wicked shall receive their punishment and the righteous shall receive their reward. We believe in the ultimate triumph of righteousness and in the life everlasting. (Romans 14:10-12; II Thessalonians 1:6-10; Revelation 20:12-21:8)
