2. THE TRUE GOD
We believe the Scriptures teach that there is one, and only one, living and true God, and infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is JEHOVAH, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; equal in every divine perfection and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption (John 4:24; Exodus 15:11)

3. THE FALL OF MAN
We believe the Scripture teach that man was created in holiness, under the law of his Maker; but by voluntary transgressions fell from that holy and happy state; in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners not by constraint but choice, being by nature utterly void of that holiness required by the law of God; positively inclined to evil; and therefore under just condemnation, without defense or excuse (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 3:6-24).

4. THE WAY OF SALVATION
We believe the Scriptures teach that salvation of sinners is wholly of grace; through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God; who, according to the will of the Father, became man, yet without sin; honored the divine law by His personal obedience and by His death made a full atonement for our sins; that having risen from the dead, He is now enthroned in heaven; and uniting in His wonderful person the tender sympathies with divine perfections, He is in every way qualified to be suitable, a compassionate and an all-sufficient Savior (Ephesians 2:5; John 3:16).

5. JUSTIFICATION
We believe the Scriptures teach that the great gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in Him is justified, that justification includes the pardon of sin, and the gift of eternal life on principles of righteousness; that is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in Christ; by mean of which faith His perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us by God; that it brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God, and secures every other blessing needful for time and eternity. (John 1:16 Acts 13:39).

6. THE FREENESS OF SALVATION
We believe the Scriptures teach that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by cordial, penitent, and obedient faith, and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own determination depravity and voluntary rejection of the gospel which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation. (Isaiah 55:1; Acts 17:30).

7. REGENERATION
We believe the Scriptures teach that in order to be saved men must be regenerated or born again; that regeneration consists in giving a holy disposition to the mind; that it is effected in a manner above our comprehension by the Holy Spirit, in connection with divine truth, so as to secure our voluntary obedience to the gospel; and that its proper evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance, faith, and newness of life (John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

8. REPENTANCE AND FAITH
We believe the Scriptures teach that repentance and faith are sacred duties, and also inseparable graces, wrought in the soul by the regeneration Spirit of God, whereby being deeply convinced of our guilt, danger and helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with unfeigned contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy, at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus as our prophet, priest, and king, and relying on Him alone as the only and ail sufficient Savior (Mark 1:15; John 16:8).

9. GOD'S PURPOSE OF GRACE
We believe the Scriptures teach that election is the eternal purpose of God, according to which He graciously regenerates, sanctifies, and saves sinners; that being perfectly consistent with the free agency of man, it comprehends all the means is connection with the end; that is a most glorious display of God's sovereign goodness; that is utterly excludes boasting and promotes humility; that is encourages the use of means; that it may be ascertained by its affects in all who truly accept Christ that it is the foundation of Christian assurance; and that to ascertain it with regard to ourselves demands and deserves that utmost diligence (2 Timothy 1:8-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:13- 14).

10. SANCTIFICATION
We believe the Scriptures teach that sanctification is the process by which, according to the will of God, we are partakers of His holiness; that it is a progressive work; that it is begun in regeneration; that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the Sealer and Comforter, in the continual use of the appointed mean-especially the word God-self examination, self denial, watchfulness and prayer; and in the practice of ail godly exercise and duties (1 Thessalonians 4:3; Proverbs 4:18).

11. PERSEVERANCE OF SAINTS
We believe the Scriptures teach that such as are truly regenerate, being born of the Spirit, will not utterly fall away and perish, but will endure unto the end; that their persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distinguishes them from superficial professors; that a special Providence watches over their welfare; and that they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation (John 8:34; John 2:19).

12. THE LAW AND GOSPEL
We believe the Scripture teach that the law of God is eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral government: that it is holy, just and good; and that the inability which the Scriptures ascribe to fallen men to fulfill its percepts arises entirely from their sinful nature, to deliver them from which and to restore them through a Mediator to unfeigned obedience to the holy law, is one great end of the gospel, and the means of grace connected with establishment of the visible church (Romans 3:3; 7:12).

13. A GOSPEL CHURCH
We believe the Scriptures teach that a visible Church of God is a company of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by His laws; and exercising the gifts, rights and privileges invested by them by His word: that its only scriptural officers are bishops or pastors, and deacons, whose qualifications, claims and duties are defined in the Epistles to Timothy and Titus (Acts 2:41; 2 Corinthians 8:5).

14. CHRISTIAN BAPTISM
We believe the Scriptures teach that Christian Baptism is the immersion in water of a believer in Christ, into the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost; to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem his faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, with its effect, in his death to sin and resurrection to a new life; that is prerequisite to the privileges of a church relation, and to the Lord's Supper (Acts 8:36-39; Matthew 28:19).

15. THE LORD'S SUPPER
We believe the Scriptures teach that the lord's Supper is a provision of bread and wine, representing Christ's body and blood, partaken of by member of the church assembled for that purpose, in commemoration of the death of their Lord, showing their faith and participation in the merits of His sacrifice, their dependence on Him for spiritual life and nourishment, and their hope of life eternal through His resurrection from the dead; its observation to be preceded by faithful self-examination (Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:26).

16. THE LORD'S DAY
We believe the Scriptures teach that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day, and is to be kept sacred to religious purposes by abstaining from all secular labor, except works of mercy and necessity; by the devout observance of all the means of grace, both private and public; and by preparation for the rest that remains for the people of God (Acts 20:7; Exodus 20:8)

17. CIVIL GOVERNMENT
We believe the Scriptures teach that civil government is of divine appointment, for the interest and good order of human society; and that magistrates are to be prayed for except only in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only Lord of the conscience, and the Prince of the kings of the earth (Romans 13:1-7; Matthews 22:21).

18. RIGHTEOUS AND WICKED
We believe the Scriptures teach that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked; that such only as regenerated, being justified through faith in Jesus Christ and sanctified by the Spirit of God, are truly righteous in his esteem; while all such as continue in impenitence and unbelief are, in His sight, wicked and under the curse; and this distinction holds among men, both in and after death (Malachi 3:18; Romans 1:17).

19. The World to Come
We believe the scriptures teach that the end of the world is approaching; that at the last day Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave for final retribution; that a solemn separation will then take place; that the wicked will be judged to endless sorrow, and the righteous to endless joy; and that this judgement will be forever the final state of men in heaven or hell on principles of righteousness (1peter 4:7; acts 1:11).
