Holy Spirit. These Three are co-eternal and co-equal. [John 1:1-2; Acts 10:38]

and perfect life; his vicarious and substitutionary death through the shedding
of his blood on Calvary for the sins of mankind. [Matthew 1:21-23]
We believe that man is born in sin and a sinner by nature and practice

without which no man will see God. [2 Corinthians 7:1; I Thessalonians 4:7;

baptism by immersion and the Lords Supper. [Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians

be given by way of tithes and offerings for the support of the ministry. [Malachi

union between a man and a woman until death as ordered by God and a bed undefiled

deeds appropriate for those who profess to worship God. [I Timothy 2:9-10]

the sick. [James 5:14-15]
