About the Scriptures
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed and, therefore, are the final authority for faith and life. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error. The King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by the church.
About God
We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of the lost world. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men.
About Salvation
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.
About the Eternal Security of Believers
We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are secure in Christ forever.
About Humanity
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
About the Christian Life
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and through daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.
About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The members of the church are those who have been born-again, trusting by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world.
