Beliefs

We believe in the verbal and plenary inspired Word of God, and that it is His direct revelation to man. It was written by holy men of God as they were guided by the Holy Spirit; therefore, it is the final and complete authority in all matters of faith and practice.
Proverbs 30:5; Matthew 24:35; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:21; Hebrews 1:1-2.

We believe in God the Father who is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power. It is God the Father who saves all those who call upon His name through Jesus Christ. He makes His will known to us through His divine revelation.
Exodus 20:2-3; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1, 2; I Corinthians 8:6; II Corinthians 13:14; Hebrews 1:1-3.

​We believe that Jesus Christ is God the Son, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and as the Scriptures declare, "That God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself." Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary, offering the only sacrifice acceptable to God for the sin of man. Christ hung and died in our place, He was buried, and on the third day, literally and bodily rose from the dead as proof of our justification. We believe that He shall return soon for His church, the body of believers.
Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:21; John 1:1-3; Philippians 2:2-6.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, possessing all of the divine attributes possessed by the Father and the Son. We believe that He is co-equal in every way with the Father and the Son, that at salvation it is the Spirit who convicts of "sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment," and that upon acceptance of Christ as Savior, He seals, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, indwells, baptizes, helps, and sanctifies the believer. We further believe in a continual need for the filling of the Spirit.
John 14:16-17; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27; I Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:13-14, 5:18.

We believe in the total depravity of man, that there is no goodness within him, that every man is born in sin and by nature is a child of wrath, that every man sinned in Adam, and in so doing, became a sinner by birth through Adam. We further believe that man is also a sinner by choice and can only merit the grace of God through Jesus Christ in salvation. God is obligated to save no one, but does so because of His love and grace revealed in Jesus. 
Psalms 51:5; Romans 3:11, 23; 5:1; I Corinthians 15:22; Ephesians 2:1-9.

We believe that salvation is wholly an act of grace through faith in the merits of Jesus Christ, who being perfect, God became perfect man, who offered Himself and shed His blood as our sacrifice for sin. We further believe that those who have accepted our risen Lord as their Savior are justified, redeemed, freed from the curse of sin, and have everlasting life.
John 3:16, 36; Acts 16:31; Romans 5:1, 9; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 9:13-14, 22.

We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ composed of all those who have by faith received Jesus Christ as Savior. The Church is made up of and expressed by local gatherings of believers. We believe that the local church is a congregation of believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the ordinances of Christ's baptism and the Lord's Supper, governed by His laws and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word; that its only Scriptural officers are Pastor (Bishops, Elders) and Deacons whose qualifications, claims, and duties are defined in Acts 6:20; I & II Timothy, and Titus. Other functions of the local church are the sending forth of missionaries and church discipline.

Acts 2, 13:1-4; I Corinthians 5:1-7, 12:12-14; Ephesians 2:20-21; II Thessalonians 3:14-15.

We believe that the spirit of the saved at death goes immediately to be with Christ in Heaven; that following the rapture of the church, their works will be judged and rewards determined, that the spirit of the unsaved at death descends immediately into Hades, until the final day of judgment, at which time their bodies shall be raised from the grave, judged, and cast in to Hell; the place of final and everlasting punishment.
Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 16:19-31; John 16; I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Corinthians 5:6-8; Rev. 20:11-15.
