Statement of Faith

The Scriptures

The Authorized King James Bible is the authority of our faith and practice. We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the verbally inspired Word of God. (2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)

​

The Godhead

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (I John 5:7)

 

The Person of God (Father)

We believe that God is supreme in His person, eternal in His being, absolute in His attributes, and glorious in His perfection. (John. 1:1; 1Tim. 3:16)

​

The Person of Jesus Christ (Son)

We believe that Jesus Christ became man without ceasing to be God. We believe He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin to redeem sinful men. He accomplished our redemption through His finished work and death at Calvary. Jesus died, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. (John 1:1, Romans 4:25)

​

The Person of the Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit reproves the world regarding sin, righteousness, and judgement. He convicts and draws sinners, baptizes all believers into the body of Christ, and seals them unto the day of redemption. (John. 16:7-13; Acts 1:8; Eph. 1:13,14)

​

Salvation

Because of man’s lost condition, we believe that God provided the only way to salvation through the death of Jesus Christ and His atonement for our sin, dying in our place. We believe that a person is saved when he believes with his heart, repents of his sin and exercises faith by trusting Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. The believer is kept by the power of God and is eternally secure in Christ. Our security rests on the finished work of the shed blood of Jesus Christ for our atonement. This gift from God is available for whosoever will. (I Peter 1:4-5, John 3:16, Romans 5:8,10:13; Ephesians 2:8-10)

​

The Return of Christ

We believe the “Blessed Hope” of our Lord’s return is literal, personal, visible, imminent, pre-millennial, and pre-tribulational. He will rapture His Church prior to the seven years of tribulation, and at the end of the tribulation Christ will return with His saints to establish His thousand-year reign on the earth. (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:1-6)
