Our Core Convictions

1. the divine inspiration and infallibility of the Holy Scripture as originally given and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

2. the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead;

3. the universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering mankind subject to God’s wrath and condemnation;

4. the conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and his birth of the Virgin Mary;

5. redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death, as our representative and substitute, of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God;

6. the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;

7. that Jesus Christ ascended to the right hand of God and is now the all-sufficient High Priest of His People;

8. the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Jesus Christ effective in the individual sinner, granting him repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ;

9. the indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer; and

10. the expectation of the personal return of Jesus Christ who shall reign forever.
