The Bible :

• We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God, inerrant and infallible in the original writings.
• We believe in the literal interpretation of Scripture with respect to context, grammar, and history.

The Godhead :

• We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory.

The Lord Jesus Christ :

• We believe in the supernatural birth of Jesus Christ, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, the incarnate Son of God.
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and that he died as a perfect substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of all men.
• We believe in the physical resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead and His glorified bodily presence at the right hand of God as our High Priest and our Advocate.

The Holy Spirit :

• We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts of sin, who is the supernatural agent in regeneration, and who, at the moment of salvation, baptizes and seals the believer into the Body of Christ, immediately indwelling him.
• We believe that God is sovereign in the bestowment of all his gifts; and, that the gifts of evangelists, pastors, and teachers are sufficient for the perfecting of the saints today; and, that speaking in tongues and the working of sign miracles gradually ceased as the New Testament Scriptures were completed and their authority became established.

Angels :

• We believe in the reality and personality of angels, both good and fallen, including Satan, the enemy of God and man, whose opposition is ever increasing, but whose ultimate doom is sure.

Man :

• We believe in the creation of man by a direct act of God, and that he fell into sin, and thereby became totally depraved and guilty of sin.

Salvation :

• We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of sins.

The Believer’s Position :

• We believe in the sonship of all born-again believers in the family of God. We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are secure in Christ forever.

The Resurrection :

• We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life in God’s presence, and the unsaved to conscious and everlasting torment.

The Church :

• We believe that the Church, which is the body and the espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of this present age.
• We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures.
• We believe it is the mission of the church to preach the gospel of grace to all the world.
• We believe in the ordinances of believer’s water baptism and the Lord’s supper as scriptural means of testimony for the church age.
• We believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any external authority or control.

The Future :

• We believe in the personal, imminent, pre-tribulation and pre-millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for his redeemed ones; and in his subsequent return to earth, with his saints, to establish his millennial kingdom.
