We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God breathed (II Tim. 3:16 17, II Peter 1:20 21, Matt. 5:18, John 16:12 13).

We believe that God is a person who has revealed Himself as a trinity; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, three persons and yet one God (Gen. 1:1, 26; Matt. 28:19).

We believe the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts of sin, regenerates (creates anew) unbelievers, indwells believers, reveals the Scripture, and empowers the saved (Acts 2:4, John 16:7 11, 3:5 6, Rom. 8:2, I Cor. 2:9 10).

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and that man is totally depraved, desperately wicked and, in himself, completely unable to remedy his lost condition (Gen. 1:26 27, Rom. 3:22 23, 5:12, Eph. 2:1 3, 12, Jer. 17:9).

We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace, not of works, and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (Eph. 2:8 10, John 1:12, Eph. 1:7, I Peter 1:18 19).

We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are sealed by the Holy Spirit, kept by God's power, and are secure in Christ forever (John 6:37 40, 10:27 30, Rom. 8:1, 38, 39, I Cor. 1:4 8, I Peter 1:5, Eph. 1:13).

We believe that Satan is a created being and the originator of sin; that he is the open and declared enemy of God and man, and that he shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire (Job 1:6 9, Isa. 14:12 17, Matt. 4:2 11, 25:41, John 8:44, Rev. 20:10, Eph. 6:11-18).

We believe in a literal heaven for all who, through grace by faith in Jesus Christ, have become the children of God. We believe in a literal Hell, the place of eternal judgement for all who have not received forgiveness of sins, which is in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:28 29, 3:36, Rev. 21:27, Eph. 2:8-9).

We believe in the visible, bodily, pre tribulational, pre millennial, and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to receive His Church to be with Himself in the air, and then after the tribulation to return in power onto the earth with His saints to judge the nations and establish His kingdom (I Thess. 4:13 17, I Cor. 15:51 58, Phil. 3:20, Titus 2:13, Rev. 4:1, II Sam. 7:10 16, Psalms 89:20 37, Zech. 12:8 10).

We believe that after the tribulation, Christ will return to the earth with His saints to judge the nations and establish His kingdom (Rev. 1:5-7; Matt. 24:29-31, John 19:37, Zech. 12:10-14, Isa. 9:7, 24:5, 54:3, Rev. 19:11-20:6).

We believe that the ordinance of water baptism by immersion is the symbol of what has already taken place in the heart, having died with Christ, and having been raised with Him into a life of acceptance with God (Rom. 6:3 5, Col. 2:12). We believe that only believers are proper subjects for baptism and that all believers should act in obedience with this ordinance (Luke 3:21-22, Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:41).

We believe that the ordinance of the Lord's supper is a memorial ordinance, to be observed by all believers in fellowship with their risen Lord; that the elements are mere representations, in symbol, the body and blood of Christ. We believe that, as to frequency of observance, the church is at liberty to make this decision and that such observance should be conducted by the church (I Cor. 11:25 32, Matt. 26:26 29).

We believe not only in separation from worldliness and apostasy, but also separation from the present day Charismatic movement. True faith does not seek after signs and wonders, for true faith does not need signs to validate it (Heb. 11:1 3, 6). The only sign for this generation is the evidence of the crucified and risen Savior. In Him we put our trust (Matt. 12:38 40 and Matt. 16:1 4).
