What We Believe

We believe in the Trinity of the Godhead; that God has manifested Himself in three persons: God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit, yet without division of nature, but rather, One True God.
I John 5:7.

We believe that The Lord Jesus Christ, The Word, became flesh by being born of a virgin, and that He was and is both God and Man, one person with two natures. We believe that He bodily resurrected on the third day and that His position is Redeemer, Lord, and Judge. Jesus is the Son of God, and as such is The God, The Great I Am, Jehovah God.
Isaiah 9:6, John 1, Luke 2.

We believe in the vicarious, literal, physical death of Jesus and that we receive remission of sins through His blood. His blood then makes atonement for all sin.
Hebrews 9.

We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God, both the Old and New Testament. Additionally, the Bible is our authority for faith and practice in local New Testament churches and in every area of our lives. God has preserved His Word as He promised, in the English language through the Authorized Version, King James Bible 1611.
II Timothy 3:16 & 17, Psalms 12:6-7.

We believe that all men are born into sin, that they have a sinful nature, and that they must repent of their sins and accept salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not external works. Furthermore, their salvation will be evidenced by a changed nature and desire to do God’s will.
Romans 3:10 & 23, Ephesians 2:8-9.

We believe in the eternal security of the believer. Once a person is saved, God, the Author of his salvation, is also the One who retains it, grants eternal blessedness, and provides a literal Heaven for the redeemed.
John 10.

We believe in eternal damnation; a literal, fiery Hell for the lost who reject Jesus Christ.
Luke 16, Revelation 20:11-15.

We believe in the literal, physical, pre-millennial return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to rapture the saints.
I Thessalonians 4 & 5.

We believe in the Biblical authority of the local, autonomous, independent church, from which all missionaries are commissioned and sent forth.
Matthew 16, Acts 13.

We believe all believers are called into a life of separation from all worldly practices, places, and alliances, and unto a life wholly sanctified to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 12:1-2, I John 2, II Corinthians 6.
