The Church believes in:
- the true humanity and deity of the Lord Jesus Christ,
- the inspiration of the Bible and its authority in all matters of faith and practice,
- the atonement made on the cross by our Lord for the sin of the world,
- salvation by faith in Christ alone,
- membership of the church for the regenerate,
- the person of the Holy Spirit as the one who sets apart, empowers, and imparts spiritual gifts to the church,
- the immersion of believers as the only scriptural form of baptism.
