Doctrinal Statement

1. We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative rule of faith and practice, using only the King James Version of the Bible.

2. We believe in the Triune Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ: His virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death, bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven as our intercessor.

4. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit in convicting men of sin, regenerating believers in the new birth and His indwelling presence in the saved.

5. We believe in the sinfulness and depravity of mankind.

6. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, freely given and eternal.

7. We believe in the existence of Satan, his present work of deception and his eternal doom.

8. We believe in the Second Coming of Christ: First to rapture His Church and then, after seven years, to return to judge the earth and to establish His literal kingdom.

9. We believe that at death the spirits of the saved are immediately carried to heaven, and the unsaved go to a place of eternal punishment called hell.

10. We believe in the priesthood of all believers with direct access into God's presence through the mediation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

11. We believe that a New Testament Church is an organized body of born again, baptized believers in Jesus Christ.

12. We believe that there are two Scriptural ordinances for the Church: The Lord's Supper and Baptism of converts by immersion.
