We believe the 66 books which comprise the Old and New Testaments to be the only verbal, plenary inspired Word of God, the Final Authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed. II Tim. 3:16-17; II Pet.1: 20-21; Matt. 5:18; John 16:12-13

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three (3) persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. – co- eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections. Deut. 6:4; II Cor.13:14; Matt. 28:19; I Pet.1:2; Heb.9:14; Gen.1:26.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became flesh (man) without ceasing.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and Redeem sinful men. John 1: 1, 2, 14; Luke 1:35.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.
Rom 3:24, 25;I Pet 2:25; Eph 1:7; I Pet 1: 3-5.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where as our High Priest, He fulfils the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, Advocate. Acts 1:9, 10; Heb 9:24; 7:25; Rom 8:34; John 2:1, 2.
