- We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life on Earth, His miracles, His crucifixion on the cross as atonement for sinful man, His resurrection, His ascension to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father, and His Second Coming.
- We believe salvation is by grace, through faith, in Jesus Christ alone and that eternal life is only found through Him.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit as the indwelling presence of God, who empowers the Christian for fruitful service and to live a godly life.
