Confession of Faith
The foundation upon which all our beliefs, doctrines, and practices are established
The Church makes the following confession of faith upon which all its beliefs, doctrines, teachings, practices, structures, government, discipline, ministries and departments, functions, activities, this Constitution and the Church's rules, regulations, and policies, and its existence shall be founded, based, and established, namely that the Church and its members shall believe and confess faith in:
The One True Triune God

The Authority of Holy Scripture

The Spoken Word of God
The spoken Word of God as may be given through prophecy, to be believed and obeyed.
Infallible Rule of Interpretation

The Fallen Nature of Man

God's Elect Purpose and Grace
The elect purpose and grace of God, whereby He, through the sacrificial death, resurrection, and ascension of His Son, Jesus Christ, provided for man a means of Justification, Regeneration, and Sanctification, which blessings are granted upon a person's repentance and faith, with works that beft repentance being a product of man's justification.
The Church as the Body of Christ
The Church being the Body of Christ, and the fellowship of saints, governed by Christ, the Head of His Church, through His Word and the Scriptural Ministries.
Christian Sacraments
