• We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as verbally-plenary inspired of God, and inerrant in the original writing, and that they are of supreme and final authority in matters of faith and practice, the true center of Christian union.

• We believe that the doctrines of inspiration, inerrancy, preservation and authority apply only to the original manuscripts and that any translation of the originals is inspired, inerrant, preserved and authoritative to the degree that it rightly reflects the original manuscripts. II Tim. 3:16; II Pet. 1:19-20.

Theology Proper - The Doctrine of God

• We believe that God is a sovereign, living, intelligent, rational Being and that he has a plan for man and the universe.

• We believe that He has the will, power and authority, and is actively engaged in carrying that plan to completion. Gen. 18:25; Eph. 2:10; Rom. 8:28-29.

• We believe in one God, eternally existing in three co-equal persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption. Genesis 1:1, 26; Deut. 6:4-5; Matthew 28:19; 29:19; John 1:1, 3; 4:24; Romans 1:19, 20; I Cor. 8:6; Ephesians 4:5, 6; I John 5:7.

Angelology - The Doctrine of Angels

• We believe in the personality of Satan, that he is the unholy god of this age, and the author of all the powers of darkness.

• We believe he is destined to the judgment of eternal justice in the Lake of Fire. Matt. 4:1-3; 2 Cor. 4:4; Rev. 20:10

Anthropology - The Doctrine of Man

• We believe that man was created in the image of God, and that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings since the fall are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach the age of moral responsibility, are sinners in thought, word, and deed and unable to please God. Gen.1:26-27; Rom. 5:12; Rom. 3:23.

Christology - The Doctrine of Christ

• We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, a virgin, and is true God and true man. Matt. 1:18-20; Luke 1:2-38; John 1:1-2,14,18; 14:7-11; 20:28; Gal. 4:4-5.

• We believe that 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 ground of His shed blood and His resurrection. I Cor. 15: 1-4; Heb.10:9-12; Rom. 3:23-26; 4:25.

• We believe 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, and in his bodily return to the earth. I Cor. 14:1-20; John 20:24-29; Heb 1:3; Acts 1:10-11; Heb. 4:14-16; 7:25; I Tim. 2:5.

Soteriology - The Doctrine of Salvation

• We believe that all those who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ have been born from above by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and have thereby become the children of God. Jn. 1:12; 3:5; Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 3:26; Titus 3:5.

• We believe in the "eternal security" of the believer in so far that it is impossible for one who has truly been born into the family of God to ever cease believing. Jn 1:12; 10:27-28; Rom. 8:29-30; Eph. 1:13-15; I Jn. 5:9-13; I Pet. 1:3-5; Jude 1.

Pneumatology - The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit

• We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ.

• We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide. John 14:16,17,26; John 16:9-14; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; Galatians 5:22-26.

Ecclesiology - The Doctrine of the Church

• We believe that Christ is the Head of His true universal church, and that His church is made up of the regenerate believers, both Jew and Gentile alike. Eph. 3:23-32; Matt. 16:18; Acts 2; Col. 3:11.

• The local church is a body of baptized (immersed) believers in Christ, with Scriptural officers of elders and deacons, organized to meet corporately for the purpose of worship, prayer, observing the ordinances, receiving instruction in the apostle's Doctrine, and carrying out the principles, precepts and commissions of Christ. I Tim. 3:15; Acts 2:41-47; 14:23; Eph. 4:11-16; Matt. 28:18-20.

• We believe that the Scriptural ordinances of the church are baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper; that baptism should be administered only to believers 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 belief; that the Lord's Supper should be partaken of by baptized believers only to commemorate Christ's death; and that both ordinances should be entered into until Christ returns. Matt. 3:16; Acts 8:26-39; Col. 3:12; Rom. 6:3-5; I Cor. 11:23-28.

Eschatology - The Doctrine of End Times

• We believe in that "blessed hope" - when our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, will return to gather his people to himself at the end of this present evil age. Titus 2:13; Acts 1:10-11; I Thess. 4:13-19; I Cor. 15:51-58.

• We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost. Jn. 5:21-30; Dan. 12:2-3; Rev. 20:4-6,11-15;21:8; II Thess. 1:7-10; Jn. 14:1-6.
