We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbal and plenary inspired Word of God.
The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life.
The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man.
The scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical-historical meaning.
We believe in one GOD who exists in three Divine persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (I John 5:7-8).
The Trinity, as God is called, though largely incomprehensible to the human mind, is a Biblical fact that must be accepted by faith.
GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Spirit, has lived from eternity past and is eternal in nature.
We believe in one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. (Ephesians 4:5)
We believe that all humans are sinners and need to be saved. (Romans 3:10-12, Romans 3:23).
The enemy of GOD and adversary of all Christians is a created devil or Satan (I Peter 5:8).
All who reject Jesus will be judged by GOD for their sins and condemned to eternal damnation in hell with Satan.
We believe that salvation is wholly of GOD (John 1:12-13), that Christ purchased us with His blood (Acts 20-28, Ephesians 2:12-13), that we are saved by grace and not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that the two conditions of salvation are faith and repentance (Luke 13:3, John 3:15-16).
However, true salvation will result in good works (James 2:17-20).
We believe that salvation is eternal (John 3:14-18, John 10:28-29, Romans 8:33-39).
We believe that the church is to be a regenerated membership (John 3:3, Acts 2:41-44) and that it has the responsibility of spreading the gospel to the world (Matt 28:19-20, Acts 1:8).
We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD and Himself deity, became flesh (John 1:14).
He was conceived and born of a virgin upon whom the Holy Ghost had come (Matt 1:18-22).
His purpose for becoming a man was to die for the sins of mankind.
Man was alienated from GOD through sin and reconciliation was necessary.
The form of that reconciliation was ordained that the Son of GOD be crucified on a cross (Matt 16:21, Mark 8:31).
On the third day after His crucifixion, Jesus was raised from the dead (I Cor 15:3-4).
We believe that Christ is the founder of the church and its only head (Matt 16:18, Colossians 1:18).
We believe in and support the rights of the individual. Everyone must seek GOD for himself (Acts 17:26-27).
Everyone must repent for himself (Acts 17:30).
Everyone must confess for himself (Romans 10:9-10). Everyone must give an account for himself (Romans 14:11-12).
We believe in the democracy of the church and that every member is equal. (Acts 1:14-15).
We believe that GOD has given the pastor as a gift to the church.
He is to oversee, lead, preach, teach, correct, and pray for the church.
The church is to respect, follow, obey, accept correction from, and pray for the pastor (Eph 4:11-15, II Tim 4:1-5, I Thes 5:12-13, Hebrews 13:17).
We believe and accept as ordinances, only the two, ordered by Jesus Christ, which symbolize the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ; namely, Baptism and the Lord's Supper or Communion (Matt 28:19-20, Romans 6:3-5, I Cor 11:23-26).
We believe in the second coming of Christ (John 14:1-4, Acts 1:11), the immortality of the human soul (I Cor 15:53-55), the resurrection of the body (I Cor 15:42-44), the final judgment of a just GOD (Matt 25:31-33), and the never ending punishment of the lost and the eternal bliss of the saints (Matt 25:34-36).
