Beliefs

  • I  believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, preserved in the King James Version (1611) to be the verbally inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and are therefore the final authority for faith and practice. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21

  • I  believe in one Triune God, existing eternally in three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut 6:4; Matt 28:18-20; II Cor 13:14; Jn 14:10,26).


  • I  believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only  Son of  God, became Man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. (Isaiah 7:14;9:6;     Luke 1:35; John 1:1-12; Philippians 2:5-8).

  • I  believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice; and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.   (Acts 2:18-36; Rom 3:24-25; I Peter 2:24)

  • I  believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate. (Acts 1:9-10; Heb 9:24;7:25; Rom 8:34; I Jn 2:1-2).

  • I  believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person who convicts the world of sin, (Jn 16:8-11; Rom 8:9; II Cor 3:6; Eph 1:13-14).

  • I  believe that He is the Divine Teacher who assists believers to understand and appropriate the Scriptures and that it is the privilege and duty of all believers to be filled with the Spirit. (Eph 1:17-18; 5:18; I Jn 2:20,27).

  • I believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam' s sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Gen 1:26-27; Rom 3:22-23; 5:12; 6:23; Eph 2:1-3; 4:17-19).

  • I believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. We believe that sinners must be born again, and that this new birth is instantaneous and not a process. There is no hope of salvation without Jesus Christ. I reject Calvinism in any form. (Jn 1:12; John 3:1-20; Eph 1:7;2:8-10).

  • I believe that the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God' s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. (Jn 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Rom 8:1,38-39; I Peter 1:4-5).

  • I believe that the Church is a called-out assembly of baptized believers, who have covenanted together in the faith for the purpose of carrying out the Great Commission. (I Cor 12:12-14; Eph 1:22-23; Acts 2:42).

  • I believe in the autonomy of the local church free from any external authority or control. (Acts 13:1-4; 15:19-31; 20:28;  Rom 16:1,4; I Cor 3:9,16; 5:4-7; I Peter 5:1-4)

  • I believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.   (Mt 25:46; Jn 5:28,29; 11:25-26; Rev 20:5-6)

  • I believe that God created the universe in six literal 24-hour periods. I reject evolution in any form. (Genesis 1-2; Ex 20:11; Jn 1:1-3)
