What We Believe :

The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God.  The scriptures are inerrant, infallible, inspired, and have been divinely preserved and therefore are the final authority for faith and life.  We believe the Masoretic Text and the Textus Receptus (Received Text) to be the authentic, preserved texts of the Old Testament and New Testament respectively.  The King James Version of the Bible is the official and only translation used by the church.

Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of Mary who was a virgin at conception.

Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice.

Salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by repentance toward God and personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The truly born again are redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, once and for all are kept by the power of God and are thus secure in Christ forever.

One God existing in three persons - the Father, the Word or Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Reality of Heaven for those who have been born again and the reality of Hell for those who have not been born again.

A literal 6 day creation.  We reject the false theories teaching that higher species evolved from lower species, including Theistic Evolution as errant theories of origin.

While we seek to love all brothers and sisters in Christ, we reject the unscriptural charismatic and ecumenical movements.

We believe in the literal and physical Pretribulational and Premillenial return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We utilize only the traditional style hymns and sacred music.  We believe that music in the Lord's service is to bring our focus upon the Lord and not for the purpose of entertaining or energizing the fallen nature.   We reject the attempts of the church world to take the world's music and methods and utilize them for the cause of Christ.  The goal of the church is for people to be converted from the world, instead we are witnessing the world converting the Church.
