Our Beliefs
| Articles Of Faith
We believe
- That the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God, inerrant and preserved; and they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. We use the King James Version of the Bible exclusively in our ministry.
- In one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- That Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of Mary, a virgin, and is true God and true man.
- That man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby, incurred not only physical death, but also the spiritual death, which is separation from God. That all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are sinners in thought, word, and deed.
- That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
- In the "eternal security" of the believer: that it is impossible for one born into the family of God ever to be lost.
- In the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in his present life there as High Priest and Advocate.
- In "that blessed hope" - the personal, premillinneal, pretribulation, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ when the church will be "gathered together unto Him."
- In the literal fulfillment of the prophecies and promises of the Scriptures which foretell and assure the future regeneration and restoration of Israel as a nation.
- That all who receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby, become children of God.
- In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
- That the Scriptural ordinances of the church are Baptism and the Lord's Supper, and are to be administered by the local church; that Baptism by immersion should be administered to believers only as a symbol of their belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and as a testimony to the world of that believer's identification with Christ.
