OUR BELIEFS
1. ON THE BIBLE: We accept The Bible, in its canonicity of its sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, as the literal, written, utterance of God for the purpose of revealing Himself to man by His Son, Jesus Christ. We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible and that it is infallible and inerrant. The Bible should be the sole authority for faith and practice for believers and churches. We believe that the original inspired manuscripts are preserved in copies of those texts and are made available to different languages throughout the ages through the work of translating.
​
2. ON GOD: We believe that there is but one self-existent, eternal, supreme God. He exists as three distinct persons of the Holy Trinity, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and is coequal in power and glory. In His being He is infinite, eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, and immutable, and in His nature He is spirit. He is the Creator, Sustainer, and sovereign Ruler of the universe and is intimately involved with His creation. He is gracious and merciful, the Father and Redeemer of all mankind and perfect in every way. The events of mankind are orchestrated by His order and for His glory.
​
3. ON SALVATION: We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the person and redemptive work of Jesus Christ alone without the works of man. We believe that Jesus Christ willingly laid down His life as the substitutionary atonement for man's sin. His shed blood satisfied the wrath of God for the sins of the whole world. Anyone who rejects the salvation freely offered by God will ultimately be punished in hell. We believe that in redemption, men were bought out of the marketplace of sin by the price of Christ's precious, pure, holy, royal blood. We believe that salvation is available for the entire human race. We believe that men have a choice to accept or reject Christ for salvation. At the point of salvation, men are saved from the penalty of sin, saved from the power of sin, and will one day be saved from the presence of sin.
​
4. ON SEPARATION: We believe the Scriptures clearly teach the doctrine of separation. It is clear that Christians should be set apart from recreation and activities that are worldly. Believers should seek to be without reproach and to be holy because God is holy. We believe that believers should be set apart from false teachers and organizations that propagate false doctrine. We further believe that Christians should seek to obey God's Word in not having any alliances with non-believers in marriage or in ecclesiastical position. Believers should make every effort to separate from willfully disobedient and disorderly brethren who do not wish to turn from their sin. Believers should seek to restore their disobedient brethren as best as possible. We believe that the Church and State are ordained of God and should seek to aid in strengthening one another to beneficially help each other in accordance to Scripture, but not control each other. We believe that the charismatic movement is unbiblical in its practices and that speaking in tongues today, faith healing, and ecumenism are all contrary to Biblical doctrine.
​
5. ON MISSIONS: We believe that the work of missions is a fundamental byproduct of Salvation. We believe that every Believer has the obligation of being an ambassador of Jesus Christ. We also believe that the work of foreign missions is a special calling of the Holy Spirit and an extension of an existing local church.
