What We Believe

... in the inspiration, infallibility, authority, and the sufficiency of Scripture.

... in the absolute sovereignty of the Triune God.

... in the essential deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His vicarious death, and His physical resurrection.

... that Jesus Christ is presently in heaven fulfilling His role as our High Priest and Advocate.

... in the personal, premillennial, imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

... in the total depravity of man and the necessity of regeneration.

... that salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from works, and is possessed permanently by all who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation from sin and eternal life with God.

... that the Holy Spirit is a divine person indwelling all believers. His baptism is the sovereign work of God that occurs at the moment of conversion whereby the Holy Spirit places believers permanently in the body of Christ.

... in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.

... that the church is comprised solely of repentant sinners who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and submit to His rule and authority as set forth in the Scriptures.

... that Christians have the solemn obligation to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel.

... that baptism by immersion is the solemn and beautiful testimony of a believer showing forth his faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, and union with Him in death to sin and resurrection to a new life.

... that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.

... that the universe was created by God in six literal, 24-hour days.
