1.  We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Scriptures.
They alone are the final authority of our faith and 
practice.  We believe the Bible reveals God, the fall of 
man, the way of salvation, and God's plan and purpose for 
the ages.  (1 Timothy 3:16)


2.  We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the
Holy Spirit; all three are one (The Trinity).  (1 John 5:7)


3.  We believe in the Deity, the virgin birth, and the 
bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
(John 10:30, Matt 1:18a, Matt 28)



4.  We believe that salvation is by grace.  The conditions 
to salvation are repentance and faith.  
(Titus 3:7, 1 John 1:9, Eph 2:8-9)



5.  We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are
accounted righteous before God only through the merit of the 
blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.  (Titus 2:5-6)



6.  We believe in the visible, personal and premillennial 
return of our Lord to rapture (catch up) his church: the 
bride of Christ.  (1 Thess 4:17)



7.  We believe in the everlasting conscious blessedness of 
the saved in Heaven and the everlasting conscious punishment
of the lost in eternal hell.  (Rev 21:4, 20:11-15)



8.  We believe in the prominence of the local church in 
God's program.  (Matt 18:20)



9.  We oppose any person or association that has departed
from the fundamental teaching of God's Word; the Bible.
(I Cor 5:9-13, Phil 3:17-21, II Thess 3:6-14)



10.  We consider ourselves to be a New Testament church
according to the teachings of the Bible.  We are 
independent, autonomous, and indigenous in every way.   
We practice the only two ordinances given to the church;
the Lord's Supper and Baptism by immersion.  
(Acts 2:36-47, 8:35-39, I Cor 11:23-32)
