AFFIRM our confidence in God's inerrant Word. We treasure its truths and respect its reproofs.
 
ACKNOWLEDGE the Creator-God as our Heavenly Father, infinitely perfect, and intimately acquainted with all our ways.
CLAIM Jesus Christ as our Lord; very God who came in Human flesh; the object of our worship and the subject of praise.
RECOGNIZE the Holy Spirit as Godhead constantly at work convicting, convincing, and comforting.
CONFESS that Adam's fall into sin left humanity without the hope of heaven apart from a new birth, made possible by the Savior's death and bodily resurrection.

BELIEVE the offering of salvation is God's love gift to all. Those who accept it by faith, apart from works, become new creatures in Christ.
ANTICIPATE our Lord's promised return which could occur at any time.

ARE CONVINCED that all who have died will be brought back from beyond, believers to everlasting communion with God; unbelievers to everlasting separation from God.

KNOW that the Lord is continuing to enlarge His Family, the Body of Christ, over which He rules as Head.

ARE GRATEFUL to be a part of a local church that exists to proclaim God's truth, administer the ordinances, to stimulate growth toward maturity, and to bring glory to God.
