Statement of Faith
The Bible, verbally and plenary inspired, is God’s infallible Word, authoritative for all faith and practice. We accept the 1611 King James Authorized Version exclusively as the preserved Word of God in the English language.
There is one God, personal, infinite, perfect, and eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is true God and true man, was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, provided substitutionary atonement for lost man, and rose bodily from the grave.
The Holy Spirit is a Divine person and works in the conviction of men and in the regeneration, sanctification, and preservation of the believer.
God directly created the universe from no pre-existing substance. We reject both naturalistic and theistic evolution.
Satan is a fallen, created personality, opposed to all that is holy, and destined for eternal punishment.
Man was made in God’s own image and fell into sin in Adam, and is now a sinner both by nature and by choice, and can be restored to God’s favor only be God’s provision in Christ as applied by the Holy Spirit.
God’s provision in Christ is the only ground for man’s justification, which includes both pardon from sin and the gift of eternal life.
Salvation comes to men only by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, apart from any human merit.
Baptism by immersion & the Lord’s Supper are ordinances of the church.
Jesus Christ is the Head of the church, and every local church has the right under Christ to govern itself.
Every believer is eternally secure, being “kept by the power of God”.
All persons will experience resurrection, believers to a state of eternal bliss, and unbelievers to eternal punishment.
The return of Christ includes both the rapture of the church and His return in glory. The first is for His church, which is personal, pre-millennial, pre-tribulational, and may occur at any moment. The second is His return to earth to establish His righteous reign over the Earth. This coming is visible, personal, pre-millennial, and in power and great glory.
Civil government is by Divine appointment, and separation between it and the church should be maintained.
