We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, wholly without error as originally given by God, and is sufficient as our only infallible rule of faith and practice as a Christian (II Timothy 3:16;II Peter 1:19-21).
We believe in the creation of the existing space-time universe and all its basic systems and kinds of organisms in the six days of the creation week as described in Genesis. God directly created the universe, including life, apart from any pre-existing materials (Genesis 1:1-2:3).
We believe in the full historicity and lucidity of the Biblical records of primeval history, including the literal existence of Adam and Eve as the progenitors of all people, the literal fall and resultant divine curse on the creation, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of nations and languages at the tower of Babel (Genesis 1:1-11:9).
We believe in the triune Godhead, eternal, transcendent, omnipotent, personal God existing in three persons; i.e., Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the one true and living God, the creator and sustainer of all things. He is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable. He is revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is the head of the Godhead. He is worthy of honor, adoration, and obedience (I Chronicles 29:10-13).
We believe that Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, born of the Virgin Mary, was tempted in all points, yet without sin. He died on the cross to redeem man, rose again from the dead to justify the believer, and ascended to the right hand of God the Father where He intercedes for the believers (Matthew 3:17, John 1:1,14: I Corinthians 15:3-4).
The Holy Spirit is the One sent from God to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, of judgment, and to regenerate and cleanse from sin. He is resident in believers to guide, teach, and strengthen them (John 16:8; John 14:16,26).
We believe that man was created in the image of God. Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan and sinned. Because of this, men have been born in sin since that time and are by nature the children of wrath. Man cannot save himself. Only the Lord Jesus can save him (Genesis 3:1-6; Romans 3:10-19).
We believe that Satan is a personal devil who rebelled against God, and with his angels, carries on the work of iniquity in this world. We believe that Satan is the deceiver who tempts men to sin. Sin is basically rebellion against God, and the end of sin is eternal separation from God (Matthew 4:1; 25:41; John 8:44).
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Savior from sin. He atoned for our sins on the cross and rose again for our justification. Apart from Jesus Christ there is no salvation. All men are under condemnation through personal sin, and escape comes only through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit regenerates the one who, by faith, makes a life commitment to Jesus (Romans 3:23-25).
We believe that the New Testament church is a voluntary association of baptized believers in Christ who have covenanted together to follow the teaching of New Testament doctrine, worship, and practice. We believe that a church is a democratic organization served by pastors, elders, deacons, and evangelists (Ephesians 1:22-23; I Timothy 3:1-13).
We believe in the final resurrection of all men, just and unjust. We believe that those who commit their lives to Jesus Christ during this life on earth will be raised to everlasting life, but those who are not committed to Jesus Christ in this life will be raised to everlasting condemnation (Matthew 28:6-7; I Corinthians 15:4, 51-53; Acts 1:9-11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 3:21; Revelation 20:1-6).
We believe in the future, personal, bodily return of Jesus Christ to the earth to judge and purge sin, to establish His eternal Kingdom, and to consummate and fulfill His purpose in the works of creation and redemption with eternal rewards and punishment (Psalm 9:7; I Corinthians 15:51-58; 2 Peter 3:1-13; Revelation 20:11-15; 22:12).
