14. The Final Judgment
There will be a final judgment in which the unrepentant dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43; Revelation 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8)

13. The Millennial Reign of Christ
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for one thousand years. (Zechariah 14:5; Matthew 24:27,30; Revelation 1:7; 19:11-14; 20:1-6)

6. The Ordinances of the Church

• Baptism in Water. Although not essential for salvation (ie., the thief on the cross), the ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord should be baptized, (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47,48; Romans 6:4).
  
• Holy Communion. The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements bread and the fruit of the vine is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (II Peter 1:4); a memorial of His suffering  and death (1 Corinthians 11:26); and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26); and  is enjoined on all believers "till He returns!"
  

5. The Salvation of Man
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

• Conditions of Salvation. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10: 13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7)
  
• The Evidences of Salvation. The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit. (Romans 8:16) The outward  evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2:12)
  

1. The Scriptures Inspired
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13;  2 Peter 1:21)

10. The Ministry

A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the threefold purpose of leading the Church in:

• Evangelization of the world (Mark 16:15-20)
  
• Worship of God (John 4:23,24)
  
• Building a Body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11,16).
  

3. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:

• His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:33)
• His sinless life (Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22)
  
• His miracles (Acts 2:22; 10:38)
  
• His substitutionary work on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
  
• His bodily resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4)
  
• His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9,11; 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3)
  

We believe the Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. The following statement of Fundamental Truths is intended to clarify the basis of our fellowship, that we all speak the same thing. (I Corinthians 1:10; Acts 2:42)

12. The Blessed Hope
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church. (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1Corinthians 15:51-52)

11. Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the Atonement and through prayer is the privilege of all believers. (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16,17; James 5:14-16)

8. Sanctification
Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 6:1-11; 8:1-2,8; Galatians 2:20; I Peter 1:59)

4. The Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. (Genesis 1:26; 2:17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19)

2. The One True God  (In Three Persons)
The one true God has revealed himself as the eternally self existent "I AM", the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).

15. The New Heavens and the New Earth
"We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:22)

9. The Church and Its Mission

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her Great Commission. In addition the Church is:

• To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world. (Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:19,20)
• To be a corporate body in which man may worship God. (1 Corinthians 12:13)
• To be a channel of God's purpose to build a Body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son. (Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 14:12)
  

7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the indwelling baptism of the Holy Ghost, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8)
