What we believe:

THE WORD OF GOD - We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, complete as the revela­tion of God's will for salvation, and the supreme and final authority in all mat­ters to which they speak.

THE TRINITY - We believe in one God, creator and sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit; that these are equal in every divine perfection and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.

GOD THE FATHER - We believe in God the Father--an infinite, personal Spirit, per­fect in holiness, wisdom, power and love.  We believe He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

JESUS CHRIST - We believe that Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son, and has precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.  We believe further that He is not only true God, but true man, con­ceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.  We also believe in His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into Heaven, His priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal, visible, pre-millennial and imminent return from Heaven.

HOLY SPIRIT - We believe in the Holy Spirit, His personality, and His work in regeneration, sanctification and preservation.  His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to implement Christ's work of redeeming the lost and to empower the believer for godly living and service.

MAN - We believe God created man male and female in the image of God and free from sin.  We further believe that man became and is now a sinner by nature and choice and is therefore spiritually dead.  We also believe that those who repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.

PROVIDENCE - God from eternity decrees or permits all things that come to pass, and perpetually upholds, directs and governs all creatures and all events; yet so as not in any way to be the author or approver of sin nor to destroy the free will and responsibility of intelligent creatures.

ELECTION - Election is God's eternal choice of some persons unto everlasting life not because of foreseen merit in them, but because of His great mercy in Christ. The result of this choice is that they are called, justified and glorified according to Romans 8:29-30

SALVATION - We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.  We further believe that this salvation is based upon the sovereign grace of God and was purchased by Christ on the cross, and is received by man through faith, apart from any human merit, works or ritual.  We further believe salvation results in righteous living, good works and proper social concern.  We believe, on the basis of John Chapter 10, Romans Chapter 8, and 1 John 3:9 that this salvation once experienced by the individual is eternally secure.

THE CHURCH - We believe that the Church is the spiritual body of which Christ is the head.  We believe that the true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit.  We believe that this body expresses itself in local assemblies whose members have been im­mersed upon a credible confession of faith and have associated themselves for worship, for instruction, for evangelism and for service.  We believe that the two ordinances of the local church are believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper.

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE - We believe that each local church is self-governing in function and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority.  We further believe that every human being is directly responsible to God in matters of faith and life and that each should be free to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience.

CHRISTIAN CONDUCT - We believe that the supreme task of every believer is to glorify God in his life; that his conduct should be blameless before the world; that he should be a faithful steward of his possessions; and that he should seek to realize for himself the full stature of maturity in Christ.

LAST THINGS - We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost, the eternal existence of all men either in Heaven or Hell, in divine judgments, rewards and punishments.
