Our Doctrine:

  1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and are therefore inerrant in the original writings. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21)

  2. We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit and therefore is truly God and truly man.
    (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23)

  3. We believe that the Holy Spirit's ministry is to glorify Christ, to convince sinners of their need of Christ and to empower believers to live in victory and to minister effectively.
    (1 John 2:27, Ephesians 5:18)

  4. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer at the moment of conversion. We believe that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit passed with the completion of the written Word of God.
    (Acts 1:8)

  5. We believe in the reality and personality of Satan.
    (1 Peter 5:8)

  6. We believe that man was created by God in His image but that in the Fall of Adam all participated and therefore all are sinners. Being a sinner, man is under the judgment of God and totally unable to save himself.
    (Romans 3:23, 6:23, 3:10, Isaiah 64:6)

  7. We believe that salvation is based on the finished work of Christ on the cross in which He bore our sins and died as our substitute. Salvation is received, not by our works, but by faith alone in Christ and His atoning death.
    (Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5)

  8. We believe that all believers are safe and secure in Christ forever. It is their privilege to know the assurance of their salvation.
    (John 10:25-30, 1 John 5:11-13)

  9. We believe in a literal hell where unbelievers will be eternally lost and tormented. We believe in a literal heaven where the redeemed will live with God forever.
    (Revelation 1:17-18, 20:13-14, Luke 12:5)

  10. We believe in the resurrection. Believers will be resurrected at the first resurrection to life eternal. Unbelievers will be resurrected at the second resurrection to eternal damnation.
    (1 Corinthians 15:51-57, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

  11. We believe in the imminent, personal pre-tribulational return of Christ. We believe in the pre-millennial return of Christ to the earth to establish His kingdom on earth.

  12. We believe in two ordinances: One is the Lord’s Supper, as a memorial, and the other is the baptism of believers by immersion.
