Statement of Faith

I. The Inspiration of the Bible

We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God. God has preserved His Word throughout the ages and it remains unchanged. We prefer the King James Version for the English language, but compare other translations for study purposes. We wholly reject books like “The Message,” as they are paraphrases and tend to rely on opinion and interpretation rather than on careful translation. 

II. The Person of God

We believe in the Trinity, as being one God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That God the Father is supreme in His person, eternal in His being, absolute in His attributes, and glorious in His perfection. We believe God is sovereign and exercises his sovereignty over his creation according to his will alone. 

III. The Person of Jesus Christ

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and that he is the only begotten son of almighty God, His deity and sinless life. We believe in His vicarious death, His bodily resurrection, ascension, and His personal, promised return to receive his church which are all who are saved by grace through faith in him alone, and He will reign on earth as promised throughout prophecy. 

IV. The Person of the Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is the executive of the Godhead. We believe that He executes the plan of God for our conviction and salvation. Christians are partakers of the Holy Spirit and empowered for service by Him. It is the Holy Spirit who makes clear the teachings of the Bible and guides in all righteousness according to the Word of God. 

V. The fall of Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God and by choice fell into sin and death. Every person is sinful and under condemnation to eternal judgment. Anything less than God cannot be perfect without God.

VI. The Salvation of Sinners

We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Eph 2:8,9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

VII. The Freeness of Salvation

We believe that the Gospel makes the blessings of salvation free for all men and that everyone has a choice to accept the free gift by faith in Christ Jesus because his blood shed on the cross was sufficient to atone for all men’s sin for all time. We believe that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner but his or her own inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of the Gospel. 

VIII. The Security of the Believer

We believe that those who receive Jesus Christ as Savior are eternally secure. Our security rests on the finished work of Jesus Christ. As result, we have assurance. 

IX. The Doctrine of the Church

We believe that the church is the congregation of baptized believers, practicing New Testament principles, believing its doctrines, observing its ordinances, and exercising its autonomy and authority of the Bible. There are many congregations but all true Bible believing Christians make up the body of Christ, perfectly fit together.

X. The Doctrine of Heaven and Hell

We believe in the eternal blessedness of the saved in Heaven and the eternal punishment of the lost in Hell. Everyone will be judged, those who have rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ will be cast into eternal damnation. Those have obeyed God's command and received the Lord Jesus through faith will enter into the everlasting kingdom of peace and dwell with Christ Jesus eternally.  

XI. Current Trends in Theology

We stand against the current trends that lead to discrediting the Bible and undermining the fundamentals of the faith  i.e. “The New Paradigm.” We consider much of the modern religious teaching to be ineffectual for true faith in Christ Jesus. Many of the teachings of this age are lifting men up and reduce the superiority of God,  His Sovereignty, and the authority of the Bible in the minds of men and society, putting Christ Jesus to an open shame. We believe that God created everything in six literal days and completely, without apology reject evolutionary teaching as “doctrines of devils.” 

XII. Our Ministry

This web site is designed to focus on Christ Jesus crucified and risen and  the grace of God we have in and through Him. This is one point on which all who are true believers in Christ are united. We desire to encourage and edify our fellow believers and teach biblical ethics and attributes that ought to be exercised in the daily lives and attitudes of any person who claims to belong to Christ. Believers are commanded to preach and take the glorious Gospel to the world, therefore all of us, no matter what our station in this life, ought to preach by our actions and attitudes as well as our words.
