Creation

We accept the Genesis account of creation. (Gen. 1-2; Col. 1:16-17; John 1-3)

The Fall of Man

Man was created in innocence, but by voluntary transgression fell from his sinless state in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners, not only by constraint, but of choice. (Gen.3:1-6; Rom. 5:10-19, 1:32)

Atonement for Sin

Salvation of sinners is wholly of grace; through the Son of God, who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon Him our nature, yet without sin, honored the divine law by His personal obedience of through His Shed blood on the Cross made a full and vicarious atonement for our sins. (Acts 2:42-43; I Cor. 11:2; Eph. 1:22-23, 4:11)

Salvation by Grace

We believe that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only condition of salvation and this salvation is secure. (Acts 16:31; Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 8:35-39; Phil 1-6)

Local Church

Christ is the Head and absolute authority of the local church. (Acts 2:41; I Cor. 11:2, Eph. 1:22, 5:23-24; Acts 15:13-18)
