We believe
Jesus Christ was virgin-born, sinless, died on the cross for sins, was raised from the dead on the third day, and is coming again (Mat.1:18, Heb. 4:15, 1 Cor. 15:3-4, Jn. 14:3).
Salvation is a gift, bestowed by God's grace and received by faith (Eph. 2:8-9). A believer's salvation is secured by Christ alone (1 Jn. 4:9-10).
Immersion in water of a professed believer is the Bible baptism (Acts 8:36-39) and such baptism is symbolic of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:1-4).
The church is the bride of Christ (Eph. 5:23-33), and the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12). The local church is locally governed by Godly men known as elders or bishops (Titus 1:5ff). The purpose of the church on earth is to fulfill the last command of Jesus (Mat. 28:18-20).
Christians are endowed with spiritual gifts which enable them to minister in the church (Rom. 12:4-8). The Holy Spirit, whom every believer receives at conversion (Eph. 1:13-14), leads and guides us.
