The Bible
We believe in the Holy Scripture, accepting fully the writings of the Old and New Testaments as the very word of God, verbally inspired in all parts; the scriptures are infallible, inerrant, and authoritative rules for a life in faith. We use the King James Version of the Bible.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 2 Peter 1:19-21
Origin of Sin
We believe man was created in the image of God but fell through sin, bringing not only physical death but also spiritual death- separation from God. All of mankind is totally depraved and has inherited a sinful nature.
Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:16-17, Genesis 3:16-19, Romans 3:10-23, and Romans 6:23
Salvation Through Faith
We believe that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only condition of salvation.
Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9-10, and Ephesians 2:8-9
The Trinity
We believe in the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the infallible interpreter of the infallible Scriptures.
1 John 5:1-8 and John 16:7-15
Baptism by Immersion
We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water, under the authority of the local church, to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, through Whom we died to sin and rose to a new life.
Acts 8:36-39, John 3:23, Romans 6: 3-5, Matthew 3:16, Colosians 2:12, and 1 Corinthians 11:23-28
Human Sexuality
We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that the only legitimate marriage is the joining of one man and one woman.
Genesis 2:24, Romans 7:2, 1 Corinthians 7:10, and Ephesians 5:22-23
Eternal Security
We believe in the eternal security of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
John 10:27-29
