We believe that the Bible is inspired by God in its entirety, and is without error in the original autographs, and is the

complete and final written revelation from God. The Word of God is the foundation upon which the church operates and

is the basis for which the church is governed. We believe that the Word of God supersedes any earthly law that is

contrary to the Holy Scriptures.

(Isaiah 28:13; Nehemiah 8:8; John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:23-25; 2 Peter 1:3-4 and 1:21)

We believe that there is one living and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy

Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all things.

(Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:8 and 48:16; Matthew 28:19-20; John 10:30; Hebrews 1:3)

We believe in the person of God the Father, an infinite, eternal, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom,

power and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer; and

that He saves from sin and death all those who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

(Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalms 90:2; Psalms 102:27; John 3:16 and 4:24; 1 Timothy 1:17; Titus 1:3)

We believe in the person of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in

His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection,

ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, visible return to earth.

(Isaiah 7:14; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:23; Mark 16:19; Luke 1:34-35; John 1:1-2, 8:58 and 11:25; 1 Corinthians

15:3-4; 1 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 1:2; Revelation 1:8)

We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, Who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin,

righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ.

(Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 3:18; John 16:8-11; Romans 8:26 and 15:13,16; Hebrews 9:14)

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and

guide.

(John 6:13, 14:16-17 and 16:8-11; Romans 8:26)

We believe in the Baptism with the Holy Spirit as a distinct and separate experience to that of regeneration, occurring,

either subsequent to or simultaneous with salvation, evidenced by a greater dynamic in the Christian’s life enabling that

person to be a bold and more effective witness. The supreme evidence of the Spirit-filled life is the fruit of the Spirit, love.

We believe in the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit in regard to the exercise of all biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit as

He chooses to give.

(1 Corinthians Chapters 12-14)

We believe that all people are sinners by nature and choice, falling short of God’s standard and breaking His

commandments – and therefore are under God’s righteous judgment. Yet God saves and gives new life to all who come

to Him in repentance and faith, trusting in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. At the cross, Jesus Christ died in our

place as our substitute, absorbing God’s wrath that should have come upon us. Because Jesus died for the sins of the

world the invitation to believe is open to all, and whoever desires may come unto Jesus for new life and the forgiveness

of sins.

(Romans 3:23, Acts 3:19, Acts 20:21, Ephesians 2:1-3, Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 John 2:2, John 3:16, Matthew 11:28,

Revelation 22:17)

We believe in the pattern and principle of male leadership and responsibility in both the home and the church, according

to the sacrificial example of Jesus. We believe this limits the roles of pastoral leadership and doctrinal authority to

qualified men.

(1 Corinthians 11:1-12, 1 Timothy 2:1-15)

We believe in the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are a

part of the Body of Christ.

(1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 4:15-16)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances for the church:

a. full immersion water baptism of believers, and b. the Lord’s Supper.

(Matthew 28:19; Luke 22:19-20; Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell and that all those who place their faith, hope and trust in Jesus Christ will

spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord, while those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation will spend eternity separated

from the Lord.

(Psalm 9:17; Matthew 5:3, 5:22, 18:9 and 25:31-34; Mark 9:42-49; Luke 12:5; John 3:18; Hebrews 12:23; 1 Peter 1:4;

Revelation 14:10-11 and 20:11-15)

We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which is His personal, visible return to earth and the establishment of

His millennial kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous and

endless separation of the wicked.

(Matthew 16:27; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:11-15)

We believe in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church where all believers will meet the Lord in the air and be taken out

of this world prior to the Tribulation that will come upon the earth.

(Isaiah 26:20; Matthew 24:29-31; Luke 21:36; Romans 1:18, 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-16 and 5:9; 2 Peter 2:7-9;

Revelation 3:10, 5:7-10 and 7:13-14)

We believe that the nation of Israel has a special place in God’s plan, and that all of the promises of God to Israel will be

fulfilled, and thus we have hope that the promises God has given all that believe on Jesus will come to pass as well

(Genesis 12:3, 15:18, Genesis 22:18, Revelation 7:1-8).

We believe that God created man and that He created them male and female. As such He created them different so as

to complement and complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the

foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. Therefore, we perform marriages in accordance with

the Bible consistent with the Old and New Testament.

(Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; John 4:16-18; Romans 1:18-32; I Corinthians 5:11, 6:9-11, 6:18-20, 7:1-3 and 7:8-9;

Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:3-7; 1 Timothy 1:9-11)

We believe that all human beings are God’s image bearers, and Scripture designates unborn babies from the moment of

conception within their mother’s wombs as children as evidenced by continuing of the terms for children, both before

and after birth, and additionally the use of personal pronouns to refer to children from the moment of conception to birth,

making the unborn God’s image bearers, innately possessing supreme value and worth, and as Scripture commands the

protection of innocent life.

(Psalm 139:15-16; Jeremiah 1:5)

We believe abortion in all its forms is morally unjustified and is the indefensible taking of human life, in short, abortion is

murder. We are theologically opposed to any teaching that abortion due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection,

birth or population control, or the physical or mental well-being of the mother, is morally permissible. We are theologically

opposed to providing any financial support for abortions whether directly or through third parties like insurance

providers. We object to any teaching, ethic, or political view in favor of abortion.

(Ephesians 1:4)

We believe, based upon clear biblical teaching and by obedience to the Holy Scriptures, that life is to be preserved

without exception.

(Genesis 9:6)

We believe that all human beings are loved by God and that He seeks to enjoy them and to have them enjoy Him in

eternity. It is for this reason that Jesus Christ came into this world and that by faith in Him alone, man can be reconciled

to God through His sacrifice. He calls all, no matter the severity of their sins, to repent of those sins and to turn to Him.
