The Scriptures | We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed. |
The Godhead | We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. |
The Person and Work of Christ | We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, our sole Mediator. We believe further in His pre-existence, His incarnation, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement and His bodily resurrection from the grave. |
The Total Depravity of Man | We believe man was created in the image of God, but that in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature and became alientated from God. We believe man is totally depraved, by himself utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. |
Salvation | We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ apart from human merit, works or ceremonies. |
Eternal Security | We believe all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are secure in Christ forever. |
The Church | We believe the Church -- the body and espoused bride of Christ -- is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of this present age. We believe the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in New Testament Scripture. We believe in the autonomy of the local churches, free of any external authority and control. We recognize believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper as Scriptural means of testimony for the church in this age. |
The Second Advent of Christ | We believe in that "Blessed Hope," the personal, imminent, pre-tribulational and premillenial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for his redeemed ones. |
