We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are the Word of God and the final authority in faith and conduct. We believe in one God, the Creator of all things and man; eternally existing in three Persons, in threefold relationship, that of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and was God in the flesh.

We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also the spiritual death which is separation from God; that Adam's sin is imputed to the whole race of mankind, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and in case of those who reach the state of moral responsibility, become sinners before God in thought, word, and deed; and that Satan is the malignant prince of the power of the air, and unholy god of this world. We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins (the sins of all men) according to the Scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are freely justified and stand before God accepted in the character and merit of Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, in His ascension into Heaven, and that in His present life He is the Head of the Church, the Lord of the individual believer, the High Priest over the house of God, and the Advocate in the Family of God.

We believe in the personal, imminent, and premillennial second coming of Christ, first to receive His own to Himself, and later, to set up His earthly kingdom and to reign over redeemed Israel and all nations of the world; that is, to bring peace and blessing to the whole world.We believe that all who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit, are indwelled by Him and are given a new nature; and that God is the spiritual Father only of those who trust His Son, Jesus Christ, as Savior and that only those saved through faith in Christ are spiritual brothers.

We believe that such only are real believers as endure unto the end; that their persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distinguishes them from superficial professors; that a special Providence watches over their welfare; and that they are kept by the power of God through faith unto eternal salvation.We believe that a church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers associated by a covenant of faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ; governed by His laws; exercising the gifts, rights and privileges invested in them by His Word; that its officers are Pastors or elders and deacons whose qualifications, claims and duties are clearly defined in the Scriptures and that the true mission of the Church is found in the Great Commission; first, to make individual disciples; second, to baptize; and third, to teach and instruct.We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the unsaved.
