We believe in the infallible, inspired, persevered Word of God. The Old and New Testament Scriptures were written by human authors divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit, preserved, unbroken and passed down to us today. We accept the Masoretic text and the Textus Receptus or Received text as the foundational material from which we derive the King James Version of the Bible. The Scripture is the final Authority in all matters of faith and practice. (Matthew 24:35; II Timothy 3:16; Psalm 119:89; II Peter 1:20,21; Hebrews 1:1-3)

We believe that there is but one living and true God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-7; 1 Corinthians 8:4), an infinite, all-knowing Spirit (John 4:24), perfect in all His attributes, one in essence, eternally existing in three Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)—each equally deserving worship and obedience. One Godhead made up of three Persons Who are the same in attributes, power, characteristics, and desires. (Hebrews 1:8; Acts 5:1-3; Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 8:6; Colossians 2:9; Matthew 3:16,17)

Jesus Christ, eternally existing, is the only begotten Son of God.  He became a man totally apart from sin, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and is truely God and truely man. (John 3:16; Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1-15; Philippians 2:5-8; Colossians 1:15)

Man was created in the image of God but fell through sin, bringing not only physical death but also spiritual death–separation from God in Hell. Now all mankind is totally depraved, having inherited a sinful nature, is bent toward sinning, and has become sinful in thought, word, and deed. (Genesis 1:26,27; 2:16,17; 3:16-19; Romans 3:10-23; 6:23; Revelations 20:10-15)

The Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. He arose from the dead in the body in which He was crucified.  He ascended into Heaven in the glorified body, where He is seated at the right hand of God the Father as Head of the Church, making intercession for the saints as our High Priest. (Luke 24; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 5:8-10; Ephesians 1:20-23; I Peter 3:18)

Man is lost and must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. Salvation is by grace alone through personal faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. (John 1:12; 3:3-7; Ephesians 2:8,9)

We believe that water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is commanded by God; that it is subsequent to conversion; that it is not a saving ordinance absolutely necessary to salvation, but it is a public testimony of reverence to Christ by those who have believed on His Name.  (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Acts 8:36, 39)

We believe the person who has been genuinely born again (saved), are kept by God’s power, (Jude 1:24; Eph. 3:20; Rom. 1:16; Phil. 1:16; II Cor. 4:7) and have received Eternal Life.  (John 3:16; John 3:36; John 10:27-29; Rom. 8:1; Rom. 8:38-39)

We believe that a Scriptural church is a visible assembly of baptized (immersed) believers, covenanted together under New Testament law for the purpose of carrying out the Great Commission, with an unbroken history from the personal ministry of Jesus on earth to this present day; that this church is a self-governed independent body having Christ as the Head, the Holy Spirit for its Guide, and the Bible as the only rule of faith and practice. The only Scriptural offices of the church are the pastor (bishop) and deacons. The two ordinances of the local church are Baptism and Lord’s Supper. On all matters of membership, of policy, of government, of discipline, of benevolence, etc. the will of the local church is final. (Mk. 16:15; Eph. 1:22-23; 3:21; I Tim. 3)

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself is coming again in the air at any moment to “rapture” up those that have received Him as their Personal Saviour and to reward their service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a period called the Tribulation, after which Christ shall return visibly to the earth to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this, the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God forever, while the believers spend eternity in the fullness of joy in the New Heaven with the Lord. (Matthew 24:29-42; I Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 19:11 – 20:15)
