We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God; that the very words were spoken by God to holy men of old; that divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of the scriptures. They are the complete and final revelation of the Word of God to man, and therefore are our only rule for faith and practice. We accept the King James Version as the preserved Word of God in the English language.

II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20,21; Mark 12:36; Matthew 5:18; Proverbs 30:5; Psalm 119:89; Revelation 22:18,19; Psalm 12:6,7; Isaiah 40:8

The True God

We believe that there is one, and only one living and true God; an infinite, intelligent, perfect spirit and personal being; the creator, preserver, and supreme ruler of the universe; inexpressibly glorious in holiness and all other perfections; and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three (3) persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

John 4:24; Genesis 1:1; Jeremiah 10:10; Matthew 28:19; Exodus 15:11; Mark 12:30; Ephesians 2:18; John 10:30;

The person of Christ

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; that He is the very God by Whom and for Whom all things were created; that He was virgin born; that he was conceived by the Holy Spirit and is God manifest in the flesh; that He lived a perfect, sinless life and gave Himself as a perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men; and that He rose bodily from the grave.

John 1:1-3; Matthew 1:18-25; II Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 9:14, 28; John 1:29 I Corinthians 15:3-8 Hebrews 4:14,15;

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person and not just an influence, equal with God the Father and God the Son; that He was active in creation; that He convicts of sin, judgment, and righteousness; that He seals, endues” guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, and helps the believer; and that He calls individuals into Christian service and empowers and directs them in that service. We reject the modern Charismatic Movement with its unscriptural emphasis on speaking in tongues and other sign gifts.

John 14:16,17; John 16:7-14; Genesis 1:2; Matthew 28:19; Luke 24:49; Ephesians 1:13; Romans 8:14-16,26; II Thessalonians 2:13; Acts 13:2-4; I Corinthians 12:14

Satan

We believe that Satan was once a holy angel, and enjoyed heavenly honors, but through wicked pride fell and drew after him a host of other angels; that he is the enemy of God and every Christian; that he is the author of all false religions and present day apostasy; that he shall be punished for ever and ever with his fallen angels in the Lake of Fire.

Isaiah 14:12-15; Revelation 12:9; Revelation 20:10 Ezekiel 28:13-19; I Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:11-12; Matthew 4:1-3; II Corinthians 11:13-15;

Creation

We believe that the Genesis account of creation is literal, and is the accurate historical record; that man, the universe, and all that is in it were created by God and not some process of evolution; that the six days of creation were literal twenty-four hour days.

Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:7, 11, 14,20,24,26,27; Colossians 1:16,17; Hebrews 11:3 Exodus 20:11;

Man

We believe that man was created in innocence under the law of his Maker, but by voluntary transgression fell from his sinless and happy state, in consequence of which all mankind are now all sinners not by constraint, but by choice; being by nature utterly void of that holiness required by the law of God, positively inclined to evil, and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin without defense or excuse.

Genesis 1:27,31; Genesis 3:6-24; Isaiah 53:6; Ezekiel 18:19,20; Jeremiah 17:9; Isaiah 64:6; Romans 1:20; Romans 5:12,19,20

Salvation

We believe that God in His love and mercy has provided eternal salvation through the perfect redemptive and substitutionary atonement of our Lord Jesus Who bore all the sins of the whole world in His own body. The conditions of salvation are repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ; that it is totally of grace through faith, apart from any human works or effort, plus or minus nothing; that it is freely given to all who will receive it; and that man cannot obtain salvation apart from the convicting and renewing work of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

Romans 5:8; I Peter 2:24; I John 2:1,2; Acts 20:21; John 6:37,44; John 3:5-7; Romans 10:9,13,17; Ephesians 2:8,9;

Blessings of Salvation

We believe that all who are in Christ are justified, forgiven, imputed with Christ’s righteousness, regenerated, given eternal life, adopted into the family of God, redeemed, given spiritual gift(s), sanctified, sealed, and eternally secure in Him. Therefore, all true believers will endure to the end.

Romans 5:1,9; Hebrews 10:17; I John 1:9; Romans 4:5-7; Titus 3:5; John 3:3-5; John 10:28; Ephesians 1:5,13; Colossians 1:14; I Corinthians 12:4-11; Hebrews 10:10; John 5:24; I John 5:4

The Local Church

We believe that the local New Testament church is a visible assembly of baptized believers, associated by common faith and fellowship in the Gospel; observing the ordinances of baptism by immersion and the Lord’s supper, governed by His Word, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word; that its only scriptural officers are pastors and deacons, whose qualifications, claims, and duties are defined in the epistles I Timothy and Titus; that the mission of the church is found in the Great Commission; that each local church has the absolute right of self-government with Christ as the Head, free from the interference of any hierarchy of any individuals, churches, organizations.

Matthew 18:17; Acts 2:41-47; I Corinthians 11:2; Titus 1:5-9; Matthew 28:19,20; Ephesians 5:23,24; Acts 6:3-5; Acts 15:22 I Timothy 3:1-13; I Peter 5:1-4;

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; that it is commanded by our Lord and shall be practiced by the church; that it pictures the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, and also the believer’s death to sin and his resurrection to a new life. We believe that the communion of the Lord’s supper is a privilege and responsibility intended only for those who are baptized believers in Christ; that the sacred use of the bread and fruit of the vine are symbolic only, commemorating together the death of Christ, and is to be preceded by solemn self-examination.

Acts 8:36-39; Acts 10:48; Matthew 28:19,20; Romans 6:3-6; Colossians 2:12;

Acts 2:41,42; I Corinthians 11:23-31

Civil Government

We believe that civil government is of divine appointment, for the interests and good order of human society; that civil authorities are to be prayed for, honored and obeyed, except only in the things opposed to the Word of God; and that the church and state should be separate, the state owing the church protection and full freedom.

Romans 13:1-7; Matthew 22:21; Acts 5:29; Daniel 3:12, 18; I Timothy 2:1,2

The Righteous and Wicked

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the righteous (saved) resulting in their everlasting blessedness with Christ, and, in the bodily resurrection of the wicked (unsaved) resulting in their everlasting, conscious punishment in the Lake of Fire.

I Corinthians 15:122-54; John 5:25,26; John 14:1-3; Luke 16:24 Revelation 20:5,6,10-15

Things to Come

We believe in the personal, imminent, pre-tribulational, and pre-millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones (the Rapture); immediately followed by the tribulation, with a subsequent return to the earth, after the tribulation, with His saints, to establish His millennial kingdom.
