1. We believe that the Bible is the revealed Word of God; that it is completely inspired and completely inerrant; that God used ordinary men to write His infallible Word by the work of the Holy Spirit; and that it contains His Truth for us today for which to live holy and pure lives. 2. We believe that there is one True God, living from eternity to eternity; that He is holy and worthy of all praise and worship; and in the unity of the Trinity – three distinct persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – yet one God. 3. We believe that God, by the power of his Word and His creative handiwork, fashioned the heavens and the earth out of nothing in 6 literal days and is active in His creation still today and that He formed His special creation Man in His image and in holiness. 4. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God – God revealed in the flesh; that He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life and that He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, buried, and rose again on the third day and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, having finished His redemptive work and now is to be exalted over all things. 5. We believe in the Holy Spirit who is God; that He is our Comforter promised by the Lord Jesus to aid us in our Christian walk. 6. We believe in the total depravity of man, that when Adam willfully disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, sin entered the world and passed upon all men, that all men are naturally inclined to depravity and evil, and that all will die in their sins and go to the place of eternal judgment called Hell, except they that are saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ. 7. We believe in salvation by grace alone; that it was initiated by the Father, bought by the innocent blood of the Son, and sealed by the Holy Spirit; and that our only response to this free gift is to accept or reject it. 8. We believe that the true believer upon salvation is eternally secured unto salvation by the power of God, so that the true believer cannot and will not fall away from salvation. 9. We believe that Satan is alive and active in our world today, seeking to deceive and tempt as many as he will; that he has as his agents fallen angels called demons or evil spirits to aid in his work; that he actively continues to attempt his overthrow of God and all that is righteous; and that his ultimate doom, having been promised from the beginning and sealed at Calvary, will be the Lake of Fire in the end time. 10. We believe in the authority and program of the church; that it is the bride of Christ; and that its activity is to be evangelizing the unsaved and edifying fellow believers, that it is to observe the two ordinances of water baptism and communion, and that its Biblically appointed leaders are the Pastor who is the under shepherd and the Deacons who are the helpers to the Pastor. 11. We believe in two Biblical ordinances – baptism and communion. We believe in water baptism by immersion and that it represents our identity with Jesus Christ. We believe that communion is symbolic and reminds us of our Lord and Savior’s sacrifice for sin – the bread representing His body which was broken for us and the grape juice representing His blood which was shed for us. 12. We believe in Biblical separation. By this we mean that we are able to maintain our purity in Christ by avoiding active fellowship with unbelievers who maintain false doctrines and false teachers and maintaining ecclesiastical separation from false doctrines and false teachers. 13. We believe in the personal, imminent, pre-tribulational, pre-millennial, rapture of the Church by the Lord Jesus Christ and that He will physically return to the earth at the end of the Tribulation to establish His millennial kingdom, judge the unsaved, and at the end, send Satan and those that have rejected God’s free gift of salvation to their final doom in the Lake of Fire.
