We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, as verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original writing, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith, life and practice.

(II Tim. 3:16, 17; II Pet. 1:16-21)

•

We believe in one Living and True God, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

(Deut. 6:4; Ex. 20:2, 3; Matt. 28:19; I Cor. 8:6; II Cor. 13:14)

•

We believe in God’s direct creation of the universe, without the use of pre-existing material, and apart from any process of evolution; a literal six day account, according to the Genesis record. 

(Gen. 1:1-31; Ex. 20:11; Col. 1:16, 17; Heb. 11:3)

•

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God; was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of Mary, a virgin, is truly God and truly man, and led a sinless life.

(Isa. 7:14; Lk. 1:35; Jn. 1:14, 18; Gal. 4:4; I Tim. 2:5)

•

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. 

(Isa. 53:4-11; Acts 13:38, 39; Rom. 3:24, 25; 4:5, 5:1, 8, 9; 6:23; II Cor. 5:19-21)

•

We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, in His present life there as High Priest and Advocate, and in His imminent pre-millennial return for the church. 

(Mt. 28:1-7; Acts 1:8-11; I Cor. 15:4-9; Heb. 4:14-16)

•

We believe that the Holy Spirit baptizes, seals, and indwells every believer at the moment of salvation and that the Holy Spirit empowers every believer for holy living. We believe that the Holy Spirit today bestows service gifts upon believers and that the miraculous sign gifts ceased with the end of the Apostolic period.

(Eph. 4:11-12; 5:18; Rom. 8:9; 12:6-8; I Cor. 12:13; Heb. 2:3, 4; I Cor. 13:8-13; Eph. 2:20)

•

We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; that all human beings are born depraved and are sinners in thought, word, and deed.

(Gen. 1:26, 27; 3:1-6; Rom. 5:12, 19; 3:10-13; Tit. 1:15, 16)

•

We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are regenerated (born again) by the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God, and are eternally secure in Christ, that it is impossible for one truly born into the family God ever to be lost  - “eternal security.” 

(Jn. 1:12, 13; 3:3-16; 6:39, 49; 10:28, 29; Acts 16:31; Rom. 8:35-39; Eph. 2:8, 9; Jude 1)

•

We believe in the personal, pre-millennial, imminent and pre-tribulational return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, when the Church will be gathered together unto Him.

(Jn. 14:1-3; I Thess. 4:13-18; I Cor. 15:51-58; II Thess. 2:1-13)

•

We believe in the sovereign selection of Israel as God's eternal covenant people. She will be regathered in the Holy land, in a literal fulfillment of the prophecies and promises of the Scriptures which foretell and assure the future regeneration and restoration of Israel as a nation. A remnant will be saved in a day at the Second Advent of Christ.

(Gen. 13:14-17; Jer. 16:14, 15; 30:6-11; Rom. 11)

•

We believe in a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.

(Matt. 25:31-46; Lk. 16:19-31; I Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 21:1-8)

•

We believe that the Scriptural ordinances of the church are Believers’ Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and are to be administered by the local church; that baptism, by immersion, should be administered to believers only as a symbol of their belief in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and as a testimony to the world of that belief and of their death, burial and resurrection with Him; and that the Lord’s Supper should be partaken of by baptized believers in the assembled church to show forth His death until He comes.
