We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired; that it is inerrant in its original writings; that it is final and complete in authority; and that it is the standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions be tried.

We believe that there is one, and only one, true and living God; that in the unity of the God-Head there are the three; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes: but without division of nature, essence or being; equal in every divine perfection and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption. We believe that man was created by God as a direct and immediate act and not by a process of evolution, and that man, created in the image of God, fell, by an act of his own will, from his state of innocency and original purity and became a sinful person, and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death. As a result of man’s fall, all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and because of this sinful nature, there is no hope of salvation apart from God’s provision in Jesus Christ.

We believe that Satan, or the Devil, is the person directly responsible for the fall of man; and that, as a person, he is active in the affairs of human life today, “Deceiving the whole world.”

We believe that salvation is by faith apart from works, wholly of God’s grace through the atoning death and the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. As a result of repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ on the sinner’s part, the sinner is born again through the work of the Holy Spirit.

We believe the Holy Spirit the third person of the God-Head, convicts of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; indwells every individual believer; empowers Christians for service; gives instruction and guidance in the things of God; comforts Christians in all of life’s experiences; and seals them unto the day of redemption.

We believe that a New Testament Church is a body of baptized believers, equal in rank and privileges, and associated under a covenant for the propagation and spread of the gospel to the whole world under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, its founder, and head.

We believe that baptism, the initial ordinance of a New Testament Church, is the immersion of a believer in water, under the authority of the church, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, symbolizing the death burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ; and portraying the death of the believer to the old life of sin and his resurrection to a new life “hid with Christ in God”; and setting forth in symbol the great resurrection day when “death shall be swallowed up in victory.” We believe that the Lord’s Supper is the recurrent ordinance of a New Testament Church; that it was instituted by the Lord Jesus Himself, not as a sacrament, but as a memorial supper; that it is to be administered under the authority of the church by the use of bread and fruit of the vine symbolizing Christ’s broken body and shed blood; and is to be observed in remembrance of the Lord Jesus, “showing forth His death until He come.”

We believe that the Lord’s Day, “the first day of the week,” commemorates the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ by His resurrection from the dead. This Holy Day is to be kept sacred for worship of God and for Christian service.

We believe that prayer is the individual’s sole approach to God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible teaches, by precept and example, the subjective and objective powers of prayer.

We believe that justification is the act or decree of God whereby any lost sinner through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His atoning blood becomes the “righteousness of God in Christ,” and is looked upon by the Lord as if he had never sinned.

We believe that sanctification is the process under God whereby those born again are set apart unto the mind and will of God, thereby experiencing growth and development in Christian character and service until the final culmination in the glory that is to be revealed at the last day.

We believe that those who have been born from above will be preserved to the end, being kept by the power of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that the miracles as recorded in both the Old and New Testaments are manifestations of the supernatural power of God and that they are in no sense mythical stories, or fables, or fiction.

We believe that Divine election is the eternal purpose of God, according to which He graciously regenerates and sanctifies sinners, and that this purpose is consistent with the free agency of man.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust, by the miraculous power of God-the just to everlasting life, the unjust to everlasting punishment.

We believe that God has appointed a day, wherein He will judge the world by Jesus Christ.

We believe in the reality of Heaven and Hell as eternal places; Heaven being the abode of the redeemed; Hell the abode of the damned.

We believe in the complete separation of Church and State.

We believe that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, co-existent, co-equal, and co-essential with the Father, was supernaturally begotten by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. We believe that he lived a sinless life, died a vicarious and substitutionary death on the cross, was buried, and rose again for the believer’s justification. We believe that He ascended to the right hand of God where “He ever liveth to make intercession for us,” from whence He will make a personal, visable, and literal return to dower and great glory, and at a time which no man knows.
