Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, was written by men divinely inspired by God. We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way of Salvation, and God’s planned purpose in the ages. We believe it to be infallible and entirely accurate from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 and the sole authority for the faith and practice of this church.
2 Timothy 3:16,17 2 Peter 1:21 Hebrews 4:12
God
We believe that there is one God; a living, intelligent Spirit; the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and earth, eternally expressing Himself through three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:26 Matthew 3:16,17 1 John 5:7
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Virgin born Son of God, conceived by the Holy Ghost, truly God and truly man, perfectly sinless in His life making atonement of Calvary’s cross for all, applicable to those who believe on Him as their Savior. Who by the power of God was raised bodily from the dead, ascended visibly to the throne of the Father, and there ever lives to make intercession for us as our High Priest and only mediator between God and man; Who according to His promise will return for His church bodily and visibly.
Matthew 1:20-23 John 1:1-14 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 Romans 10:9,10 Hebrews 4:14; 7:25 1 Timothy 2:5
Salvation
We believe that salvation of the sinner is wholly of grace, and made possible alone through the vicarious death of Jesus Christ upon the cross of Calvary, and that there is salvation in none other and that all that is necessary for salvation is an acceptance by faith of His infinite work.
Ephesians 2:8,9 Romans 4:4,5 Isaiah 53:3,4,10,11 Luke 22:19,20 Acts 4:12 John 1:12; 3:16
Creation
We believe that the material universe, including man, came into being by the direct creation of God and not by evolution.
Genesis 1 2 Peter 3:5-7
Sin
We believe that man was created sinless but voluntarily sinned and that because of this fall, all men are now sinners by birth and destined for hell, and must be born again to be fit for fellowship with God.
Genesis 1:31; 3:17 Romans 5:12-21; 6:23 John 3: 3-6
Eternity
We believe that an eternal, literal and burning hell is the final abode of lost mankind with Satan and his angels to accompany them there and to there remain throughout eternity without hope of relief.
Revelation 21:10-15
We believe in heaven as described in the Scriptures and that the only inhabitants thereof will be God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, angels, and all the redeemed.
Revelation 21:1-22:6
We believe that the end of this age is approaching and in the imminent, personal, visible, pre-millennial return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for His church.
1 Peter 4:7 Acts 1:11 1Thessalonians 4:13-18
Local Church
We believe that the local church is a congregation of baptized believers associated by covenant of faith and fellowship in the Gospel; that the local church has the absolute right of self-government and is answerable only to God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, her head.
Matthew 28:19 Acts 10:47,48 Romans 12 Matthew 18:18-20 Ephesians 5:23,24
