Articles of Faith
1. We believe in one only true and living God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and these three are one.
2. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the word of God, and the only rule of faith and practice.
3. We believe in the doctrine of election by grace.
4. We believe in the doctrine of original sin, and in man's impotency to recover himself from the fallen state he is in by nature, by his own free will and ability.
5. We believe that sinners are called, converted, regenerated and sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and all who are thus regenerated and born again by the spirit of God, shall never fall finally away.
6. We believe that sinners are justified in the sight of God, only by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
7. We believe that Baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances of Jesus Christ, and that true believers are the only subjects of those ordinances, and we believe the true mode of Baptism is by immersion.
8. We believe in the resurrection of the dead and a general judgment, and that the joys of the righteous and punishment of the wicked will be eternal.
9. We believe that no Minister has a right to administer the ordinances of the gospel, except such as are regularly called and and come under the imposition of hands by the Presbytery.
