This Statement of Faith is not exhaustive in content nor thorough in any subject, but does state forth the basics of Bible-believing Christianity. We want all to know that we believe the soul-saving, life-changing message of God's Holy Word, and preach and teach it without apology. We believe the Holy Bible, as preserved in the Authorized King James Version.
The Inspiration of the Bible
We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of
God; divinely preserved in the King James Version and is the final authority
in matters of church doctrine and godly living.
(II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21)
The Trinity
We believe in the eternal existence of the triune God, manifest in the person
of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 3:16-17; I John 5:7)
The Deity of Christ
We believe in the pre-existent, eternal, immortal and only begotten Son of
God. He was conceived of the Holy Ghost, Virgin born, sinless, and God
incarnate.
(John 1:1-14; I Timothy 3:16)
The Holy Spirit
We believe in His divine personality, His indwelling and sealing of the
believer, His convicting and drawing of sinners to Christ. And, that He
assists the believer in matters of righteousness, sin, prayer, and
understanding of the Scripture and empowers us for service.
(Ephesians 4:30; I John 2:27; Acts 1:8)
The Fall of Man
We believe that man, by free will, chose sin and fell under the condemnation
of God and is deserving of both physical and spiritual death in the Lake of
Fire. Because of one man's sin (Adam), man is by nature a lost sinner,
depraved and in need of redemption by the regenerating ministry of the Holy
Spirit and blood of Jesus Christ.
(Genesis 2:16-17; Romans 5:12; Revelation 20:14; I Peter 1:18-19)
The Salvation of Sinners
We believe that salvation is a free gift offered to man by God through His
grace, without the aid of man's works. It is received by faith in Jesus
Christ as one's personal Saviour.
(Ephesians 2:8-9; Acts 16:31)
The Security of the Believers
We believe that those who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour
receive eternal life and can never perish. They are sealed unto the day of
redemption by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
(John 10:28; Ephesians 4:30)
The Doctrine of the Church
We believe the church is a visible, called out assembly of baptized believers,
organized and formed for the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We
believe in the autonomy of the Local Church and are against the Ecumenical
Movement. A church should practice New Testament principles, believe its
doctrines, and observe its ordinances, i.e., Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
(Matthew 16:16-18; Revelation 20:11-15)
The Doctrine of Heaven and Hell
We believe in the eternal blessedness of the saved in Heaven and the eternal
punishment of the lost in Hell.
(I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:11-15)
The Second Coming
We believe in the premillenial and bodily return of Jesus Christ in the clouds
for His saints at the rapture. Then after seven years of tribulation here on
earth, He will physically return to establish His Kingdom and to reign with
His saints for one thousand years.
(Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-21; Revelation 20:4-6)
