Statement
of Faith.

We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. We hold the King James Bible to be the divinely preserved Word of God for the English-speaking world, and it is our sole and final authority for all matters of faith and practice.

We believe that God is one, eternally existing in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit — one in essence and being, distinct in personality and work.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God — eternal, yet born of a virgin. Being fully God and fully man, He lived a sinless life, died on the Cross as a sufficient and substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, rose again bodily, and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He intercedes for His own as our great High Priest.

We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice, and that salvation is the free gift of God received through personal faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is necessary and eternal — salvation is by grace, through faith, apart from works.

We believe that the local New Testament church is a gathered body of baptized believers, organized for worship, fellowship, edification, and the spread of the Gospel. God's present program is centered in the local, independent, missionary-minded church.

We believe in the personal, imminent, pre-tribulational rapture of the Church, followed by the seven-year Tribulation, the visible return of Christ with His saints, His thousand-year reign, and the final judgment. Believers will spend eternity with the Lord; unbelievers will be separated from God forever.

We hold to the historic Baptist doctrine of biblical separation. We stand in the line of Independent, Fundamental Baptist churches, and we reject the unscriptural trends of ecumenicalism, neo-orthodoxy, and the compromise of modern evangelicalism.
