What We Believe:

We believe in the infallible, verbal inspiration of the whole Bible and that the Bible is the all- sufficient rule of faith and practice.; We recommend the Kings James version of the Bible.

- We believe in the personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection

- We believe in the Genesis account of Creation.

- We believe that Satan is a fallen angel, the archenemy of God and man, the
unholy god of this world, and that his destiny is the eternal lake of fire.

- We believe in the virgin birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ.

- We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ.

- We believe the Holy Spirit is the divine Administrator for Jesus Christ in His
churches.

- We believe that miraculous spiritual manifestation gifts were done away
when the Bible was completed. Faith, Hope and Love are the vital abiding
Spiritual Gifts.

- We believe that Man was created in the image of God and lived in
innocency until he fell by voluntary transgression from his sinless state, the
result being that all mankind are sinners.

- We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary
for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe .

- We believe in the bodily resurrection and ascension of Christ and the bodily
resurrection of His saints.

- We believe in the pre-millennial, personal, bodily return of Christ as the
crowning event of the Gentile age. This event will include the resurrection of
the righteous to eternal heaven, and the Millennium will be followed by the
resurrection of the unrighteous unto eternal punishment in the lake of fire
and that the righteous shall enter into the heaven age.

- We believe that the depraved sinner is 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 and that the Holy Spirit convicts
sinners, regenerates, seals, secures, and indwells every believer.

- We believe that all who trust Jesus Christ for salvation are eternally secure
in Him and shall not perish.

- We believe that God deals with believers as His children, that He chastises
the disobedient, and that He rewards the obedient.

- We believe that Jesus Christ established His church during His ministry on
earth and that it is always a local, visible assembly of scripturally baptized
believers in covenant relationship to carry out the Commission of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and each church is an independent, self-governing body, and
no other ecclesiastical body may exercise authority over it. We believe that
Jesus Christ gave the Great Commission to the New Testament churches
only, and that He promised the perpetuity of His churches.

- We believe that there are two pictorial ordinances in the Lord's churches:
Baptism and that Lord's Supper. Scriptural baptism is the immersion of
penitent believers in water, administered by the authority of a New
Testament church in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The
Lord's Supper is a memorial ordinance, restricted to the members of the
church observing the ordinance.

- We believe that there are two divinely appointed offices in a church, pastors
and deacons, to be filled by men whose qualifications are set forth in Titus
and 1 Timothy.

- We believe that all associations, fellowships, and committees are, and
properly should be, servants of, and under control of the churches.

- 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.

- We believe that love one for another as Jesus loves the believer manifests
our discipleship, proves our love for God and symbolizes our authority as
New Testament Churches. Love is therefore the great commandment of
the Lord Jesus upon which all others are dependent.
