We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the
inspired and inerrant
....Word of God, the only infallible
rule of faith and practice.
2. We believe in one living God, existing eternally
in three persons, the Father, the Son and
....the Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in God's creation of heaven and earth
and His sovereign providence.
4. We believe in the full deity and humanity of
Jesus Christ, incarnated and born of the
... Virgin Mary, His representative
and substitutionary death, and His bodily resurrection.
5. We believe in the total depravity of man created
in the image of God and salvation
... only through the expiatory blood
of Jesus Christ.

regenerate, convict, convert, indwell, sanctify,
... empower and witness to the Gospel.
7. We believe in one holy universal Church, with
Christ as her Lord and Head.
8. We believe that the essential tasks of the Church
as the gathering of all saved people
... are worship, preaching, education,
fellowship, prayer, service, and mission.
... We also believe in the cultural
and social responsibility of the Church to realize the
... kingdom of God in this world.
9. We believe in the personal and historical return
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
... His righteous judgement, and the
resurrection of all men either to eternal life or to
... eternal death.
10. We believe in the traditional Reformed faith,
expounded in the Westminster Confession
... of Faith and the Shorter and Larger
Catechisms, to be most faithful to the teaching of
... the Scriptures.
