1. We believe that the Bible is fully inspired by God, that it is entirely trustworthy and is our guide for faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21)

2. We believe in one triune God; existing eternally as three persons: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19)

3. We believe He expressed Himself in human form through Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary and lived a sinless life. We believe He was crucified for the sins of us all, rose again bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven. (John 1:1, 14, 18; Matthew 1:23; Philippians 2:5-11; Acts 1:9-11)

4. We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, dwells in every believer immediately when he places his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God provides, through the Holy Spirit, power to live the Christian life. (Romans 5:5; 8:1-9; Galatians 5:16-25)

6. We believe that local churches, such as Medical Center, gather for practical instruction in the scriptures, for fellowship with God and with other believers, and for corporate witness to the unsaved world. Our common spiritual goal is to grow toward “Christlikeness”. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 4:13-16)

7. We both believe and practice the two ordinances Christ instructed the Church: (1) Water Baptism by immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving the gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation. (Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:24-26)

8. We believe that the term ‘marriage’ has only one meaning and that is marriage sanctioned by God which joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:23-30).
