STATEMENT OF BELIEFS:

We believe the Holy Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

We believe in the Holy Trinity.

We believe in the eternal Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His substitutionary death on Calvary for our sins; in His bearing our afflictions and in His bodily resurrection from the grave and ascension to heaven.

We believe in salvation by faith through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We believe it is by grace and thru faith alone and is eternal without regard to man’s assistance.

Because we believe the Bible, we believe that gifts of the Holy Spirit operate in this day. We believe that believers should be baptized in water by immersion and that the Lord’s Supper is a privilege and testimony of Christ til He comes.

We believe that the true Church is composed of all those who have been born again.

We believe Holy Angels are active in the lives of men. We believe that demon powers are angels that have fallen. Because we believe the Bible we believe Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil.

We believe in carrying out the Great Commission.

We believe that according to the Scriptures, Christians should contribute of their means cheerfully, regularly, systematically, proportionately, and liberally for the advancement of the Redeemer's cause on earth.

We believe all men are lost apart from the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son to this earth.

We believe that the best evidence of Christianity is to follow the example in life set forth by our Savior, Jesus Christ.
