1. We believe in only one true and living God, the Father, the Word or Son and the Holy Ghost; equal in power and glory.
2. We believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be of divine authority and the only infallible rules of faith and practice.
3. We believe in the total depravity of human nature, and the recovery from that situation is wholly and entirely of sovereign, free, unmerited grace of God in Christ Jesus.
4. We believe that God purposed in himself, for His own glory, to make a display of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness and truth, in the work of His creation, which He hath made in the dispensation of His providence.
5. We believe that God, from eternity, purposed to save a people from their sins, for His own name's sake and that in infinite wisdom, He devised the plan, and appointed every means necessary to accomplish the great end of their redemption, which he effects in His own time, by the operation of His Holy Spirit.
6. We believe that sinners are justified before God alone by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
7. We believe all such as are born of the Spirit of God, are kept by the power of God, through faith, unto eternal salvation.
8. We believe that good works are the efforts of the faith of God's elect and follow being born of the Spirit of God, and in this point of view, are evidences, of a gracious state.
9. We believe Baptism, and the Lord's Supper are ordinances of the Gospel, instituted by Jesus Christ, and none but those who profess faith in Christ and obedience to His will, are the fit subjects for either.
10. We believe immersion, according to the scriptures and apostolic practice to be the only proper mode of Baptism.
11. We believe the sanctity of the first day of the week, or Lord's day, ought to be observed; and that it should be spent in public or private worship of God, and that we should abstain from our worldly concerns, except in cases of necessity and mercy.
12. We believe in the resurrection of the body, both of the just and unjust; and that God will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath appointed.
13. We believe the righteous will forever abide in the peaceful presence of God, their Redeemer, and His pardoning grace and forgiving love be the theme of their song, while the wicked shall remain in everlasting torment.
