​
CONCERNING GOD​
We believe in one GOD, eternally existing in three persons - The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory and having the same attributes and perfections.
Deut 6:4; 2 Cor. 13:14
​
CONCERNING SCRIPTURE
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be verbally inspired word of GOD, wholly inerrant in the original writing, infallible and God-breathed, the final authority for faith and life.
2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Matt 5:18; 2 Pet. 1:20-21; John 16:12,13
​
CONCERNING CREATION
We believe that the first eleven chapters of Genesis are the literal history of the early Earth.
We believe that this material universe is the result of a sequence of unique creative acts of God the Son, accomplished with the aid of God the Holy Spirit and directed by God the Father. We believe these creative acts were ex nihilo, completed by the mere spoken commands of God. We further believe that these creative acts were accomplished in six literal twenty-four hour days. Therefore we hold to a young earth view supported by the genealogies and other time information provided in the Word of God. We also believe that the material universe was created in total perfection but subsequently was sentenced to a slow decay and eventual destruction by the Curse (binding), which was part of the penalty for the disobedience of the Parents of all mankind, Adam and Eve, whom we view as real, literal people, created on the sixth day of Creation. We reject all concepts of a pre-Adamic race. We believe that the biblical Noahic Flood was a real, year-long global event, the result of the judgment of God on the hopelessly rebellious descendants of Adam and Eve, and resulted in much of the present geology of the Earth, including most of the fossil graveyards of myriads of plants and animals then living. We believe that only eight human souls, Noah and his family, survived the Flood and that all mankind now living are descended from this family, dispersed over the face of the Earth by the confusion of tongues described in Genesis .
Since God created mankind into genders distinctly male and female, we believe that the only legitimate marriage is that between one man and one woman.
​
CONCERNING CHRIST AND HIS WORK
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. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, substitutionary sacrifice in providing an unlimited atonement for the sins of the whole world; and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate.
​
CONCERNING THE CHURCH
We believe that the Church, which is the body and espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of this present age. We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has left two ordinances to be observed by the local church in commemoration of His person and work. The one is that of baptism (immersion) in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The other is the partaking of the Lord's Supper. No person is qualified to have part in either of these two ordinances unless he has been born from above
​
CONCERNING MAN, SIN, & SALVATION
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God, and that man is totally depraved, in that every part of his being has been affected by sin. He is unable to remedy his lost condition. We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. The Christian has two natures, one carnal and one spiritual, which become a source of spiritual conflict. While his position is perfect in Christ, the believer's present condition is no more perfect than his daily experience. He is called upon to live a separated life and can have a spiritually mature experience in which he will evidence the fruits of righteousness through the new nature, the Holy Spirit's control and the assimilation of God's Word. We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. We believe it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word; which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh.
​
CONCERNING CHRIST'S RETURN
We believe, according to the scripture, in the pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ; that this second will be a lateral bodily, personal appearance to the earth; that His Bride, the Church, precedes the Tribulation and constitutes the "Blessed Hope" set before us, for which we should be constantly looking.
