We Stand with the Bible
Our Beliefs
1
The Holy Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are given by God. Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. The Bible is inerrant and preserved by God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of doctrine and life. We only use the King James Bible.

Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, who exists eternally as Almighty God and was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life, and His death on the cross was both sufficient and vicarious for the sins of the whole world. After atoning for sins with His own blood, He ascended to heaven with a glorified body after His resurrection. Today, He sits at the right hand of the Father and intercedes for His own.

Salvation is by grace through faith. Christ's substitutionary death on the cross was all that was necessary to bring sinful man back to God. Every person must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. God accomplishes regeneration whenever a sinner places his trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ for the salvation of his soul.

The New Testament church is an autonomous, visible, called-out assembly of baptized (immersed) believers who have voluntarily joined together to fulfill God's commission. The local church preaches the gospel to the lost, baptizes them, and teaches them to obey all that our Savior has commanded. It is the task of the Christian church to raise up faithful believers who will be able to teach others. The Lord Jesus places shepherds over the church whose job it is to protect (from sin and false teaching), guide (biblical counsel), and feed (preaching and teaching) the sheep.

God created the heaven and the earth and all things therein in six literal days. We reject the modern-day teaching of evolution.from one kind of living creatures to another.
6
There is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth;
inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

In our services, we only use languages that are understood by the congregation. Foreign languages are therefore allowed only when translation is provided.

Christ rose bodily "The third day according to the Scriptures"; He ascended "to the right hand of the throne of God"; He alone is our "merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God"; And "this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven," bodily, personally, and visibly; the "dead in Christ shall rise first"; the living saints "shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump"; "the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David"; and "Christ shall reign a thousand years in righteousness until He hath put all enemies under His feet."
