Statement of Faith:

We are committed in all we do to Christ and to the Bible, the Word of God, which remain as our foundation.

• We believe the Bible, to be God inspired and infallible Word, authoritative for all faith and life.
• We believe there is one God, personal, infinite, perfect, and eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• We believe Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man, was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, provided substitution sacrifice for lost man, and rose from the grave.
• We believe the Holy Spirit is a divine person and works in conviction of men and in the regeneration, sanctification, and preservation of the believer.
• We believe God directly created the universe from no pre-existing substance. We reject both naturalistic and theistic evolution.
• We believe Satan is a fallen, created personality, opposed to all that is holy and destined for eternal punishment.
• We believe 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. Man can be restored to God’s favor only by God’s provision in Christ as applied by the Holy Spirit.
• We believe God’s provision in Christ is the only ground for man’s justification, which includes pardon from sin and the gift of eternal life.
• We believe salvation comes to a man only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from any human merit.
• We believe all those who have experienced salvation are members of the “church, which is His body” and thus are eligible for baptism and membership in the local church.
• We believe baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances of the church.
• We believe Jesus Christ is the Head of the church and every local church has the right under Christ to govern itself.
• We believe every believer is eternally secure, being “kept by the power of God.”
• We believe all persons will experience resurrection, believers to a state of eternal felicity and unbelievers to eternal punishment.
• We believe 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-tribulational, pre-millennial 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.
• We believe civil government is by divine appointment and separation between it and the church should be maintained.
