- The Scriptures
We believe the Old and New Testaments to be verbally inspired by God, without error, and that they are the supreme authority in faith and life. The King James Version Bible is the only English version we accept and use. (II Tim 3:16-17; II Peter 1:19-21).
- The Godhead
We believe the Godhead eternally exists in three persons…Father, Son, and The Holy Spirit….that these three are one God, having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections, that each one is co-existent, co-equal and co- eternal with each other (Gen 1:26; Matt 3:16-17; Matt 28:19-20; John 10:30; II Cor 13:14; Romans 8:9).
- The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in His…
Eternal existence as God (Hebrews 1:8).
His incarnation by means of the virgin birth (Luke 1:35, Isaiah 7:14).
His death on the cross as substitutionary for sin (Romans 3:25, Hebrews 9:14).
His literal bodily resurrection from the dead (Luke 24: 36-43; Acts 10:40-41).
His ministry of intercession in heaven (Acts 1:9; 1 John 2:1; Hebrews 8: 1-2).
His personal return to Earth (Acts 1:11; 1 Thess 4:16; Colossians 2:9; Matt 26:64).
- The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, convicts men of sin (John 16:8); it regenerates, indwells, seals, and sets believers apart unto Holy life and that it keeps and empowers believers day by day; that He is the teacher of the word of God and guide for our daily life. Anyone who does not have the Spirit living in him is not a child of God (Romans 8:9).
- Man
We believe he was created innocent and pure (Gen 1:26). Adam fell through the sin of disobedience (Romans 5:19). Therefore, all men are corrupt in body, mind, and soul (Romans 5:12).
- Satan
We believe in the reality and personal existence of Satan (Job 1:6-9; Job 2:3; Matt 4:1-11; 1Pet 5:8; James 4:7).
- Salvation
We believe that salvation is solely by grace through the blood sacrifice, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God. All who receive Him are drawn by the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God. All who are truly saved are kept forever (1 Peter 1:5; Jude 1:24). However, God cannot overlook sin in his children and will chasten and correct them in love (Hebrews 12:5-8).
- The Church
We believe that the local church is composed of regenerated baptized believers, voluntarily united together for the purpose of worship, edification, fellowship of believers, spiritual growth and service.
It has been commissioned by Christ to propagate the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:8). That the local church has absolute right of self-government, free from interference of any hierarchy of individuals or organizations; and the one and only superintendent is Christ through the Holy Spirit.
That on all matters of membership, the policy of government, of the benevolence, the will of the local church is final. (Acts 2:41-47; Acts 4:33-37; Acts 5:1-20).
- The Ordinances
We believe that Christ gave two ordinances to the church to be observed until he comes: the Lord’s Supper (Matt 26:26; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20; 1Cor 11:23-25), and believers’ baptism.
We believe that baptism is immersion in water; we practice baptism because of the example given by our Lord (Matt 3:13) and because of the command given by our Lord to be baptized (Matt 28:19). It is meant for those who are already saved, giving a clear picture of the fact that the believer is dead, buried, and raised spiritually with Jesus Christ by faith in Him.
- The Future
We believe the return of Jesus is literal, personal, visible, imminent, premillennial, and pretribulational. Believers will caught up to be with the Lord 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. He will come for His saints to gather them unto Himself, with His saints to judge the nations and to eternal abode in the glory of His presence (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; I Thessalonians 1:10; Revelation 3:10; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 19:11-16, 20:1-6; Psalm 89:3-4)
- Separation
We believe it is our duty to call the attention of the believers to the scriptural teachings of separation and that we should abstain from worldly practices and live a life devoted unto Jesus Christ (Rom 12:1-2; 1 Thess 5:22; 2 Cor 6:14-17).
- Missions
We believe Christ left us the command that we should be witnesses for Him (Acts 1:8) and that we have the responsibility of taking the good news of the gospel to every place where men can be found (Matt 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-68; John 20:21).
