THE FALL OF MAN
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection. (Romans 5:12)

THE PLAN OF SALVATION
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him. (John 3:16; Romans 5:8)

BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER

BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days. (Acts 2:4)

MODERATION
We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism. (Philippians 4:5)

CIVIL GOVERNMENT
We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times, except in things opposed to the will of God. (Romans 13:1-5)

THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgement seat of God, and there receive eternal life or death. (2 Corinthians 5:10)

HEAVEN
We believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17)

We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church. (James 5:20)

TITHES AND OFFERINGS
