1. We believe in the Scriptures
of the Old and New Testaments in their original writing as fully
inspired of God and accept them as the supreme and final authority
for faith and life.
2. We believe in one God, externally existing in three
Persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that all that repent of their sins and receive the
Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and
become children of God.
4. We believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned
and thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death, physical and
spiritual; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature and also
commit sins.
5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a
substitutionary sacrifice according to the Scriptures and that all
who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
6. We believe that when a person is truly saved by placing their
faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross, then they cannot
loose their salvation, but have already received Eternal Life and
are sealed by the Holy Spirit.
7. We believe that the one true Church includes everyone who has
been redeemed by Jesus Christ; that the local church on earth should
take its character from this conception of the Church spiritual and
therefore, that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are
essentials of Church membership.
8. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
9. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust,
that the redeemed will spend eternity with Jesus in Heaven, and
those who have rejected the offer of salvation in Christ will spend
eternity in Hell.
10. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances:
Baptism in water and the Lord’s Supper. These ordinances do not to
save us but should be observed as acts of obedience after we are
saved. Baptism is the immersion of the believer as a confession of
identification with Christ in His burial and resurrection. The
Lord’s Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the
Savior’s broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His
sacrificial death, until He comes.
