Article 1Faith in the Trinity

Article 2The Authority of Scripture
The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for our faith and practice.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.2 Timothy 3:16-17 · NKJV
- The Bible is God-breathed and fully authoritative.

Article 3The Centrality of Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and His life, death, and resurrection provide the only path to salvation. No one comes to the Father except through Him.

- The Holy Spirit empowers godly living and ministry.
- He continues Christ's work through the Church.
Article 5Salvation Through Grace
Salvation is a gift from God, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and not by works.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.Ephesians 2:8-9 · NKJV
- Salvation is a gift, not earned.
- Received by grace through faith alone.
Article 6The Call to Discipleship
Believers are called to follow Christ, becoming His disciples, and to make disciples of others, teaching them to observe all He commanded.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.Matthew 28:19-20 · NKJV

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.Acts 2:42 · NKJV
- The Church is a covenant community, not a crowd.
- Fellowship, communion, and prayer hold it together.
Article 8Compassion and Service
Following Christ's example, we are called to serve others and to show His love through tangible action toward the hungry, the thirsty, and the needy.
For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.Matthew 25:35-36 · NKJV
- Faith is expressed through compassionate action.
- Service to the needy is service to Christ Himself.
