Jeremiah 6:16

Thus saith the LORD, "Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls."

But they said, "We will not walk therein."

1. Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the infallible rule of faith and conduct; that it was written by Holy men of old as they were moved by the the Holy Spirit.
References:
II Timothy 2:15; I Peter 2:2; II Peter 1:19, 21 II Timothy 3:16-17

2. The Godhead
We believe that there is one true and living God; Revealed in the triune Godhead

John 16:7, 14; Isaiah 43:10

3. The Fall of Man
We believe man was created in the image of God, but by voluntary transgression, fell from Edenic holiness and purity, and his only hope of redemption is through Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
References:
Genesis 1:26-31;  Romans 3:5, 16, 19; Romans 5:12, 21

4. Plan of Redemption
We believe that while we are yet sinners, Christ died for us; that His death was by Divine appointment of the Father as an atonement for sin. That upon simple faith and acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ, all who call upon Him, may be justified by faith through His precious blood, that Salvation is through grace and not by  merits of our own.

5.The New Birth
We believe in the new birth as a definite experience of salvation and conversion from a life of sin to a life of righteousness and true holiness by Christ Jesus, the Redeemer of all making.
References:
John 3:3; II Corinthians 5:17; Romans 6:11, 18; I Corinthians 1:30

6. Daily Christian Living
We believe that having been cleansed from our sins by the precious blood of Jesus, we should desire the sincere milk of the Word, that we might grow thereby, walking humbly in faith and love, and seeking the hidden life that will truly reflect the Christ within.
References:
I John 1:6-7; I Corinthians 7:1; I John 2:6; Isaiah 35:8; I Thessalonians 5:23; Romans 8:5

7. Water Baptism
We believe that water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, is a command of our Lord; that it is an outward sign of an inward work; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we should walk in newness of life.
References:
Matthew 28:19-20;  Romans 6:4; Mark 16:16;  Acts 2:41

8. The Lord's Supper
We believe the Lord's Supper is a memorial of His suffering and death. The broken bread, used in its commemoration is a type of the bread which came down from heaven, even Jesus Christ, whose body was broken for us; the wine, to remind us of the shed blood of the Savior, the Lamb of God. The ordinance spans the years from Calvary to the coming of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and is enjoined upon every believer.
References:
Mark 14:22-24; I Corinthians 11:23-30

9. Sanctification
We believe the scriptures teach a life of holiness, without which no man shall see God. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to obey the command, "be ye holy, for I am holy." Entire Sanctification is the will of God for every believer and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God's Word.

Hebrews 12:14; I Peter 1:11, 16; I Thessalonians 5:23-24; I John 2:6
