We believe that the Bible is God's
Word, that it was written and uniquely inspired, that
it is absolutely trustworthy and has supreme authority
in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe in God the Father, Creator
of heaven and earth, perfect in holiness, infinite in
wisdom, measureless in power. We rejoice that He concerns
Himself in the affairs of men. He hears and answers
prayer and that He saves from sin and death all those
who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only
begotten Son, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of
the Virgin Mary, sinless in life, making atonement for
the sin of the world by His death on the cross. We believe
in His highly priestly intercession for His people and
visible premillenial return to the world according to
His promise.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came
forth from God to convince the world of sin, of righteousness
and of judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and comfort
those who believe in Jesus Christ.
We believe that all men by nature and
by choice are sinners, but that "God so loved the
world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
We believe therefore, those who accept Christ as Lord
and Savior will rejoice forever in God's presence and
those who refuse to accept Him as Lord and Savior will
be forever separated from God.
We believe in the Church as a living
spiritual body by which Christ is the Head and of which
all regenerated people are members. We believe that
the local Church is a company of believers in Jesus
Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for
worship, work and fellowship. We believe that the visible
churches are committed, for observance "till He
comes" the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's
supper; and that God has laid upon those the task of
persuading a lost world to accept Christ as Savior and
to enthrone Him Lord and Master. We believe human betterment
and social improvement are essential products of the
Gospel.
We believe that every human being is
responsible to God alone in all matters of faith.
We believe that each church is independent
and autonomous and must be free from interference by
any ecclesiastical or political authority, that therefore,
Church and State must be kept separate as having different
functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the
dictates or patronage's of others.
