God: We believe in one God. He is to be worshipped alone. We believe He is Triune, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory. (Exodus 20:2-5; Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:10,26)

Jesus: Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. He is both completely God and completely human. He is co-equal with God in power, nature, and glory. He came physically to Earth, born of a virigin, lived a perfect life, died on a cross for man’s sin, and rose from the dead. He ascended into Heaven where He prepares a place for the saved in eternity (John 1:1; 3:16).

The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is the indwelling spirit of Jesus Christ in the believer who calls on Jesus for salvation. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, comforts and guides the believer, and enables His followers. He is the seal of the believer unto the day of redemption. He is the divine teacher without whom it would be impossible to understand and appropriate the scriptures. (John 16:8-11; Romans8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:17-18; John 2:20,27; 1 Corinthians 1:22;13:8;14:21-22)

The Scriptures: We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the inspired Word of God. They are inerrant, infallible, and God-breathed. They are therefore the final authority of all matters of faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. God has preserved his scripture to the English speakers through the King James Version (Authorized) and shall thus be used for study and teaching in English (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

Creation: The earth was created in seven literal 24-hour days by God. We reject evolution, gap theory, day-age theory, theistic evolution, and allegorical creation as unbiblical theories of origin (Genesis 1-2; Exodus 20:11).

Sin: Sin is anything that breaks God’s law or violates His Holy nature. We believe that sin separates us from a Holy God. Everyone born has a sinful nature. The penalty of sin is death, both physically and spiritually. The fate of the sinner is eternal damnation in a very real place called Hell (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23).

Salvation: Salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace through accepting Jesus Christ as their savior alone. No works of man can save him from his sin. Jesus died and rose again so that his blood could cover our sins. There is no other way for man to be saved but through Jesus Christ. Each person must accept Jesus’s gift of salvation personally (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7;2:8-10;1 Peter 1:18-19).

The Church: The church is a called-out assembly of believers gathered together in a local body. It began with the twelve apostles called out by Jesus Christ and was empowered with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. The local church is God’s only institution in which He carries out His work today. According to Christ’s command, church Membership consists of those who have been first saved and then scripturally baptized. The purpose of the church is for worship, fellowship, service, and communion.

The Ordinances: The only two Christian ordinances given to us by Jesus, practiced by the church in the New Testament, and further taught in the epistles are Baptism and the Lord’s supper. Ordinances are not means of salvation. Baptism must have a proper candidate (a saved individual), a proper method (full immersion), and under the proper authority to baptize. The Lord’s supper is to be taken by those who are saved, and within the local church. It is to be taken with unleavened bread and with “the fruit of the vine” (unfermented grape juice). The attitude of the partaker must not be in contention with others in the church, nor simply to eat, but in remembrance of the sacrifice of Jesus.

The Second Coming: We believe in the literal account of the last days. Christ will return to claim His church, followed by a seven-year tribulation (pre-tribulation). Christ will then return literally to rule and reign on the Earth for a thousand-year period (pre-millennial). After the millennium will be the Great White Throne judgment where all men will be judged. There will be a new Heaven and a new Earth. (1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-9; Revelation 19-22)
