- We believe on the scripture of the Old and New Testament, consisting of the sixty six books, as verbally inspired by God and inerrant and final authority in all matter of faith and life. (Psalm 119:160; Romans 3:2; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 11:21; Revelation 22:18-19)
- We believe in one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each of whom is infinite in glory, holiness, wisdom, power, justice, love and mercy. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 145:3; Psalm 90:2; Psalm 139:8; Psalm 147:5; Psalm 89:14; Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18-19; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Hebrews 11:6; 1 John 4:8; Revelation 7:11-12)
- We believe in Jesus Christ, His absolute deity, His miraculous birth, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, His sinless life, His substitutionary death, his bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His ministry of intercession, and His visible imminent return to earth. (Isaiah 9:6; Luke 1:26-38; John 1:1; Romans 5:6-8; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Ephesians 4:8-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; Hebrews 1:1-4; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 3:1-2; Revelation 4:1)
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts man of sin, and who regenerates, sanctifies, guides and comforts believers in Christ Jesus. (John 3:6; John 4:24; John 14:16-26; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 3:18)
- We believe that man was created in the image and after the likeness of God that, man voluntarily sinned and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death. We believe that all human beings are born with a sinful nature which is enmity against God and that man is totally unable through his own character of works to achieve or merit salvation. (Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 51:5; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12, 17-21; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; 1 John 1:10)
- We believe that salvation is the gift of God, graciously given to those who personally accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We believe that those who thus receive Christ as Savior are born again by the power of God, are passed from death to eternal life, and are kept by God’s grace. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 1:12; John 3:5; John 5:24; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 1:6; Colossians 1:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:12; Revelation 3:20)
- We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ is composed of all those who have been redeemed from their sin by His precious blood. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only infallible head of the Church, and that His Word, the Bible, is the only absolute authority for the Church. (Ephesians 5:25-27; Colossians 1:12-19; 1 Timothy 3:15; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Revelation 22:18-19)
- We believe the local Church is composed of baptized believers, (by immersion), joined together to glorify God, to edify one another, and to promote the spreading of the Gospel to all people. The local Church recognizes two ordinances, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; acts 2:38-41, 47; Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 5:20)
- We believe that Heaven is a real place, a place where God’s people will serve him forever with great joy. We believe that Hell is a real place, a place where those who reject Jesus Christ will suffer physical conscious punishment. (Matthew 8:12; Matthew 10:28; Matthew 23:33; Luke 16:28; John 14:1-3; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:1-22)
- We believe that Jesus Christ has commissioned His Church to “preach the Gospel to every person”, and that it is the privilege of every Christian to serve wholeheartedly with the love of Jesus in this glorious venture. (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; 2 Timothy 4:2)
