I. THE BIBLE
We believe in the verbal (spoken), plenary (full, complete in all respects, entire) inspiration (direct Divine influence exerted;
God-breathed) of the Bible, which is therefore inerrant (containing no errors) and infallible (absolutely trustworthy and sure;
incapable of error) in the original autographs (original handwritten manuscripts). We believe in the sole authority (power to
determine, adjudicate, settle issues or disputes) of the sixty-six books of the Bible.
(Ps.107:11; Ps.119:160; Mark 7:6-13; John 10:35; 2 Tim.3:16-17; Heb.1:1-3; 2 Pet.1:20-21)
II. GOD
We believe that there is one infinite and perfect God eternally existing in three distinct and equal persons – the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each possesses the characteristics of personality as well as the nature and perfections of
deity.
(Duet. 6:4; Lev. 19:2; Duet. 33:27; Is. 6:1-3; Is. 40:28-31; Acts 17:24; Ps. 90:2; Mt. 28:19-20; Jn. 1:1-3; Jn. 15:26; 16:12-15;
Col. 1:15-20; Heb. 1:1-4).
III. THE CREATOR / GOD THE FATHER
We believe that God is sovereign and created all things for His glory.
(Gen. 1-2; Job 38-41; Ps.19:1-4; Is.37:16; Jer.10:11-12; Rom.4:17; Heb.11:3).
IV. MAN
We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image and likeness..
Through Adam’s sin, all people are born guilty before God with a nature in rebellion against Him.
(Gen. 1-3; Rom.3:10-18, 23; 5:12-21; Eph.2:1-3).
V. ISRAEL / THE JEWISH PEOPLE
We believe that God made an everlasting and irrevocable covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It includes the
unconditional election of Israel as God’s chosen people, the gift of the land of Israel, and the promise of the Messiah
through whom all the families of the earth will be blessed.
(Gen.12:1-3; 15:9-21; 17:1-8; 2 Sam.7:6-16; Jer.31:23-40; Rom. 9-11; Gal.3:6-4:7).
VI. MESSIAH / GOD THE SON
We believe that God the Son preexisted as the eternal Word, took on human nature, and was known as Yeshua (Jesus)
the Messiah. We believe in His full deity. His virgin conception. His full humanity and His sinless life.
(Jn.1:1-18; Is.9:6-7; Jn.10:30; 20:28; Acts 2:14-36; Col.2:9; Is.7:14; Mt.1:18-25; Lk.1:34-35; Heb.2:14-18; 4:15; 2 Cor.5:21;
Heb.4:15; I Pet.2:22; Is.53:9)
We believe Jesus the Messiah revealed the mind of God, offered Himself once and for all as the only atoning,
substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of humanity, and continues to intercede for His people. As the risen Messiah, He
exercises divine authority from God’s right hand and will return to reign.
(Dt.18:15; Acts 3:22-24; Mt.13:57; Jn.1:18; Heb.1:1-4; Heb.4:4-14-5:10; 7:1-3; 9:6-10:18; I Jn.2:2; Rev.1:5; Rom 8:34;Heb
7:25; 9:24; 2 Sam.7:12-16 Mt.2:1-11; Lk.1:32-33; Acts 2:30-36)
VII. THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the full deity and personality of the Holy Spirit. He bears witness to Yeshua through the Word of God.
He convicts, regenerates individuals, and baptizes them into the body of Messiah. He indwells, fills guides, helps, gives
gifts, and produces in believers the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that no particular gift is given to every believer.
(Mt.28:19; Acts 5:3-4; Eph.4:30; Jn.14:25-27; 16:13; I Cor.2:10-11; Jn.16:7-11; Jn.3:3-5; I Cor.6:11; 12:13; Titus 3:5; Jn.14:
15-21; I Cor.6:19; Eph.1:13-14; 5:18;Rom.12:6-8; I cor.12:1-31; Eph.4:11)
VIII. SALVATION
We believe that salvation for both Jews and Gentiles is available only through Jesus and His finished work. This
salvation is a gift from God, received through faith alone and not by works. True believers in Messiah are sealed by the
Spirit for the day of redemption.
(Jn.14:6; Acts 4:12; Jn.10:28-30; Rom.8:28-30; Eph.2:8-9; Rom.3:21-4:25; Heb.13:5;Eph.1:13-14)
IX. THE CHURCH / BODY OF MESSIAH
We believe that the Church is comprised of both Jews and Gentiles who have accepted Jesus as the promised deliverer.
Gentiles who have come to faith in messiah Jesus are fellow heirs in the kingdom of God with Jewish believers. This
belief in the universal body of Messiah encourages both Jews and Gentiles to live together in unity. We also affirm the
right of individual congregations to express their cultural diversity and the importance of Gentiles reaching out to
Jewish people in evangelism as part of their call from God.
(Eph.2:11-3:6; Eph.3:6; Gal.3:1-4:6; Acts 14:23; 15:24-28; Rom.14:1-15:21; Col.2:16-23; Heb.10:24-25; I Cor.9:20-21)
X. YESHUA’S RETURN & ETERNITY
We believe that Messiah will return to earth to reign from Israel over the millennial kingdom. When all His enemies
are put under His feet, He will hand over the Kingdom to the Father.
(Dan.9:27; Mt.24:29-31; Mk.13:24-27; Lk.21:25-27; I Thess.1:10; 2 Thess. 2; Rev.20:1-6; I Cor.15:20-28)
We believe that the eternal state of those who have not trusted in Messiah will be one of conscious suffering in hell. We
believe that the final state of those who have trusted in Messiah will be eternal bliss in the presence of God
(Mt.25:46; Jn.3:36; 2 Thess.1:8-9; 2 Pet.3:13; Rev.14:11; 20:11-15; 21:1-22:6).
We believe in the verbal (spoken), plenary (full, complete in all respects, entire) inspiration (direct Divine influence exerted;
God-breathed) of the Bible, which is therefore inerrant (containing no errors) and infallible (absolutely trustworthy and sure;
incapable of error) in the original autographs (original handwritten manuscripts). We believe in the sole authority (power to

Col. 1:15-20; Heb. 1:1-4).
