What We Believe

1. Verbal Inspiration. We believe that the Holy Scriptures, both Old & New Testaments, to be the verbally inspired Word of God without error, the complete revelation of God's will for the salvation of man and the divine authority for all Christian faith, life, and conduct. (II Peter 1:20, 21; II Timothy 3:16, 17).

2. The Trinity. We believe in One God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 3:16, 17; 28:19; John 10:30; I John 5:7)

3. Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of the Father, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, that He lived a sinless life; that He died on the Cross. Thereby being a perfect and complete sacrifice for the sins of all mankind; and that He rose bodily from the dead and ascended into Heaven where He now is seated on the right hand of the Majesty on high and ever lives to intercede as our High Priest and Advocate. (Luke 1:35; John 1:1; I Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:14-16))

4. Resurrection. We believe that Jesus Christ rose bodily from the grave. We believe in the physical resurrection of all men - the saints to everlasting joy and bliss, and the wicked to conscious and eternal torment. (Acts 2:32-36; I Timothy 2:5; I Corinthians 15:21, 22; Revelation 20:4-15)

5. Blood Atonement. We believe that the shedding of Christ's Blood was necessary for man's redemption and is sufficient for the salvation of the whole world. (Romans 3:24-26; Titus 2:11; Hebrews 9:22; I John 2:2)

6. Salvation by grace through faith. We believe that men are saved by Gods grace through faith in His only begotten Son. There is nothing we can do in and of ourselves but must rely on wholly on God’s provision, His Son. By faith we mean placing you’re trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ; that only by this means can salvation and eternal life be obtained. (Acts 16:31; Eph 2:8-9, Romans 3:24,-25: 5:1; Titus 3:5-6; Colossians 1:14; I Corinthians 15:1-6)

7. Security of the Believer. We believe that all born-again believers are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and as such are eternally saved in Christ and shall never come into condemnation for sin. While it is the believer's privilege to rejoice in the assurance of salvation, this is not a cause for license or liberty as an occasion to the flesh. (John 10:28, 29; Romans 6:1-15; 8:38, 39; Ephesians 1:13, 14; I Peter 1:5)

8. The Church. We believe that the church is a body of baptized (by immersion) believers who are joined together under the recognized Scriptural leadership for the worship of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the Gospel and observance of baptism and the Lord's supper.(Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:5; I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:11, 12; Hebrews 13:7, 17)

9. Second Coming of Christ. We believe in the personal, pretribulation, premillennial, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones; that this blessed hope has a vital influence on the personal life and service of the believer; and that Christ will subsequently return to the earth at the end of the tribulation with His saints to establish His millennial Kingdom. (Acts 1:11; I Corinthians 15:51, 52; I Thessalonians 1:10; 4:16, 17; Revelation 19:11-21)
