The Bible

We believe in the infallible, verbal inspiration of the whole Bible and that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice (Psalm 119:60; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17).

The Trinity

We believe in the personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection (Matt. 28:19).

Jesus

We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe (Isa. 53:6; Heb. 2:9; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2).

Salvation

We believe that sinners are saved wholly by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and the requisites to regeneration are repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 13:3-5; John 3:16-18; Acts 20:21; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8, 9), and that the Holy Spirit convicts sinners, regenerates, seals, secures, and indwells every believer (John 3:6; John 16:8, 9; Rom. 8:9-11; 1 Cor. 6:19, 20; Eph. 4:30; Titus 3:5).

Eternal Security

We believe that all who trust Jesus Christ for salvation are eternally secure in Him and shall not perish (John 3:36; John 5:24; John 10:27-30; Rom. 8:35-39; Heb. 10:39; 1 Peter 1:5).

The Church

 We believe that Jesus Christ established His church during His ministry on earth and that it is a local, visible assembly of scripturally baptized believers in covenant relationship to carry out the Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Each church is an independent, self-governing body, and no other ecclesiastical body may exercise authority over it.

The New Testament speaks also of the church as the Body of Christ which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation. 

Matthew 4:18-22; 16:18; 28:19, 20; Mark 1:14-20; John 1:35-51; Acts 2:41-42, 47; 5;11-14; 6:3-6; 13:1-3; 14:23,27; 15:1-30; 16:5; 20:28; Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 3:16; 5:4; 7:17; 9:13-14; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:8-11, 21 5:22-32; Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:18;  1 Timothy 2:9-14; 3:1-15; 4:14; Hebrews 11:39-40; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 2-3; 21:2-3)

Freedom Of Worship

We believe in freedom of worship without interference from the government and affirm our belief in civil obedience, unless the laws and regulations of civil government run contrary to the Holy Scriptures. 

 

Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-15

Marriage

We believe that marriage, according to Scripture, is between one man (physically male gender/sex at birth) and one woman (physically female gender/sex at birth).

Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:8; Ephesians 5:31; Leviticus 18:22, 20:15-16; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9) 

Gender Identity

We believe God made man and woman as defined above and that these are the only genders which exists.  

Man’s denial of, or unwillingness to assent to the Biblical, biological and scientific fact there are only two genders, shall not change, soften or weaken our belief in the Biblical narrative of two genders, neither will city, state or federal laws rejecting this most basic truth.

Genesis 1:27; 5:2; Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6; Job 40:8; Jeremiah 13:23
