At Bethel, we Believe: - The Scriptures to be the inspired and inerrant Word of God.
- In one God, eternal and self-existent, manifested to man as Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
- That Christ Jesus is true God and true man conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary;
- That He died on the cross and shed His blood as a sacrifice for our sins; He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and is seated on the right hand of Majesty on high
- That man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin;
- That man can be justified only through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ;
- That water baptism identifies us with the death and burial of Christ, and that we should arise and walk in newness of life;
- In the ministry of the Holy Spirit to glorify Christ, to convict sinners and to empower the believer
- That the true church is composed of such persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit;
- That Christ wants the members of His church to carry the Gospel into all the world;
- That the Holy Spirit is at work today in the church through His gifts, fruit and anointed ministers:
- In personal, literal second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to judge both the quick and the dead;
- In the bodily resurrection of all the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting punishment
