The Holy Scripture

OUR BELIEFS

One God

Eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are never identical as to person, nor confused as to relation, nor divided in respect to the Godhead, nor opposed as to the cooperation.

We believe that the Scriptures consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God, inerrant and infallible in their original writings, and that they constitute the supreme and final authority for faith and practice.

Depravity of Man

We believe that Man was originally created in the image of God, but that the whole race of man was separated from God in the sin of Adam. Therefore, we believe that no man can reconcile himself with God and gain entrance to His Kingdom unless and until he is born again by the Holy Spirit.
