What We Believe

The Scriptures	We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed.
The Godhead	We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Person and Work of Christ	We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, our sole Mediator; we believe further in His pre-existence, His incarnation, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, and His bodily resurrection from the grave.
The Total Depravity of Man	We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alientated from God; and that man is totally depraved, and of himself utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.
Salvation	We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ apart from human merit, works or ceremonies.
Eternal Security	We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever.
The Church	We believe that the Church, which is the body and espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of this present age. We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scripture. We believe in the autonomy of the local churches, free of any external authority and control. We recognize believer's baptism and the Lord's supper as scriptural means of testimony for the church in this age.
The Second Advent of Christ	We believe in that "Blessed Hope," the personal, imminent, pre-tribulational and premillenial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for his redeemed ones.
