About the Bible

We believe that the Bible is the written revelation of God to man, and that the 66 books of the Bible constitute the complete and full Word of the Holy Spirit. We believe every word of the Old and New Testament to be verbally inspired in the original documents, absolutely inerrant, infallible, and God-breathed, both equally and fully in all parts.


We believe these Scriptures constitute the only authoritative and infallible rule of faith and practice.


About God

We believe that there is but one living and true God. He is an infinite, intelligent Spirit, perfect in all His attributes. We believe in the unity of the Godhead, one in essence but eternal existing and subsistent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who are co-equal and worthy of the same honor, worship, and love.


About Salvation

We believe the salvation of sinners is divinely initiated, wholly by grace, and accomplished only through the shed blood of the Son of God; that it is wholly apart from human merit or good works, and comes only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.


About the Church

We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ was inaugurated at Pentecost and must be considered in two aspects: the local church and the “church which is His body.” The local church is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by a covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word.


About Baptism and the Lord's Supper

We believe that Christian baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is the single immersion of a believer in water to show forth, in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our identification with the crucified, buried, and risen Savior through whom we died to sin and rose to new life. We believe that baptism is to be performed under the authority of the local church and that it is the prerequisite to privileges of church membership.


We believe that the Lord's Supper is the commemoration of Christ's death until He comes and should be observed by believers only. Participation in the Lord's Supper is to be preceded by solemn self-examination that we might fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ in a worthy manner.


About Spiritual Gifts

We believe that God has called all believers to do the work of the ministry in and through the local church. This ministry of edification and evangelism is accomplished through the unique gifts (special abilities) given to each member of the body by the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation. We believe that these gifts cannot be obtained by any means, but are distributed by the sovereign will of the Holy Spirit.


We believe that there are two kinds of gifts: temporary confirming gifts and permanent edifying gifts. We believe that the temporary sign gifts were given to confirm the gospel message of the apostles. With the completion of the Scriptures, these sign gifts (speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, miracles and healing) gradually ceased. We believe that we are admonished to pray for the sick, and that God hears the prayer of faith and heals the body in accordance with His will.


About the Rapture of the Church

We believe that the personal bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ to translate the church from the earth, meeting them in the air, is imminent and will precede the seven-year tribulation period also known as Daniel's 70th week.


About Eternity

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men – the saved to eternal life and the unsaved to eternal punishment. We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection when soul and body are reunited and glorified to be forever with the Lord.
