Doctrinal Statement

We believe in the trinity of the Godhead; That the eternally existing 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. - 1 John 5.

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 very God, The great I AM, Jehovah God. - John 1,5 and 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 our sin. - Hebrews 9.

We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired inerrant, infallible Word of God, both the Old and New Testaments. Additionally, the Bible is our authority for faith and practice in local New Testament churches. God has preserved his word as promised, in the English through the authorized Version, the King James Version 1611. - 2 Tim 3:16,17.

We believe 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 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 a literal heaven for the redeemed.-John 10.

We believe in eternal damnation and a literal, fiery hell for the lost who reject Christ.-Luke 16.

We believe in the literal, physical, premillenial return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.-1 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.-1 John 2, 2 Corinthians 6.

We are against:

1. Liberalism and its denial of the word of God.
2. New evangelicalism and its attitude of comprise and accommodation.
3. The charismatic movement and its emphasis on the temporal sign gifts.
4. Lifestyle evangelism in the sense of it not being accompanied by a clear spoken presentation of the Gospel.
