We believe the Bible.We believe in the entire Bible as the inspired Word of God written by “holy men of God”, who were so guarded by the Holy Spirit as to be kept from error in the original writings, that God has so preserved it through the ages as to be now our only infallible rule of faith and practice.
We believe in one God.We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.
We believe Jesus is our advocate.We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present mediatorial work there as our advocate and High Priest.
We believe we will all be judged.We believe in a period of tribulation yet to come “such as was not since the beginning of the world or ever shall be,” in the judgment of Believer’s works at the Judgment Seat of Christ, in the judgment of the wicked dead at the Great White Throne, after which they shall be cast into the Lake of Fire.
We believe in the body of Christ.We believe that the church is the body of Christ and that anyone who accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as his own personal Savior becomes a member of that body.
We believe in the Holy Spirit.We believe that this Holy Spirit is a Devine Person, who makes effective the work of Christ in our hearts, seals us onto the day of redemption, indwells us by faith, and ever seeks to conform us to the image of Christ.
We believe Satan is a defeated foe.We believe that Satan is a person, a fallen angel, the author of the fall, the god of this age; but that he is a defeated foe and his destiny is eternal punishment.
We believe this is not our home.We believe that we are pilgrims and strangers here; that we have here no continuing city, but that our citizenship is in Heaven; and that, therefore, we are to separate ourselves from all worldly entanglements and lusts, walking not in the flesh, but in the Spirit.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ.We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, that he was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; that He is the true God and true man in one person.
We believe in the blood of Jesus.We believe that our redemption has been accomplished solely by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was made sin and a curse for us, and who died in our place, that we can add nothing to or subtract nothing from His work on the Cross of Calvary, but that our part is merely to believe and trust Him; that he has begun, is continuing and will complete our salvation by His own power.
We believe in the Lord's return.We believe in the personal and imminent coming of the Lord for the true church; in the personal, visible and glorious return of the Lord to set up the millennial kingdom upon the Earth.
We believe sin separates man from God.We believe that man was created in the image of God; that through the fall of Adam, as the federal head, sin has been transmitted to each member of the human race by birth; that the natural man is totally depraved, void of any righteousness of his own, and incapable of obeying the laws of God; that he is under condemnation and deserving only of that second death, which is eternal separation from god.
We believe we all have a part in the 'Great Commission.'We believe that the church is to carry the Gospel as a testimony to all people, who, apart from a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, are lost; that the responsibility for the fulfillment of this “great commission” is incumbent upon every Christian as God reveals his part, whether going, giving or praying.
We believe in the practice of Baptism and taking of the Lord's Supper.We believe that there are but two divine ordinances which the Lord desires us to practice, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
We believe a bodily resurrection.We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust; the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost.
