We believe that we exist to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever; nothing in life has a higher purpose than this grand goal; in this great truth we find comfort as well as purpose.

We believe that God has revealed in the Bible how we should glorify and enjoy Him. We believe that the Bible is verbally inspired in every word (2 Timothy 3:16), absolutely inerrant in the original documents, infallible, and God breathed.

We believe that the Bible constitutes the only infallible rule of faith and practice (Matthew 5:18; 24:35; John 10:35; 16:12-13; 17:17; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

We believe that God is Spirit in nature, infinite in all His attributes, and incomparable in all that He is; He is one God in Three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; our Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier; in whose power and wisdom, righteousness, goodness, mercy, and grace we trust.

We believe that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and that He sustains and guides all things in accordance with His divine will; in His wisdom and kind Providence we safely trust.

We believe that man was directly and immediately created by God in His image and likeness. Man was created free of sin with a rational nature, intelligence, volition, self determination, and moral responsibility to God (Genesis 2:7, 15-25; James 3:9).

We believe that God’s intention in the creation of man was that man should glorify God, enjoy God’s fellowship, live his life in the will of God, and by this accomplish God’s purpose for man in the world (Isaiah 43:7; Colossians 1:16; Revelation 4:11).

We believe that in Adam’s sin of disobedience to the revealed will and Word of God, man lost his innocence; incurred the penalty of spiritual and physical death; became subject to the wrath of God; and became inherently corrupt and utterly incapable of choosing or doing that which is acceptable to God apart from divine grace. With no recuperative powers to enable him to recover himself, man is hopelessly lost. Man’s salvation is thereby wholly of God’s grace through the redemptive work of our Lord Jesus Christ (Genesis 2:16-17; 3:1-19; John 3:36; Romans 3:23; 6:23; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Ephesians 2:1-3; 1 Timothy 2:13-14; 1 John 1:8).

We believe that because all men were in Adam, a nature corrupted by Adam’s sin has been transmitted to all men of all ages, Jesus Christ being the only exception. All men are thus sinners by nature, by choice, and by divine declaration (Psalm 14:1-3; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:9-18, 23; 5:10-12).

We believe that the Father sent the Son to redeem a lost and erring mankind; Jesus of Nazareth actually existed in history and that He was the Christ, i. e. the long awaited Jewish Messiah; He is the eternal pre-existent Word of God; He is God of very God as well as man of very man, two natures but one person; He willingly died on the cross for our sins; He arose bodily on the third day for our justification; He ascended into heaven for our sanctification; and He is now at the right hand of the Father to intercede on our behalf.

We believe that the Father and the Son sent the Holy Spirit to apply to us what Christ accomplished according to the plan of the Father; our only hope for heaven is based on the fact that we are chosen by the Father, purchased by the Son, and sealed by the Spirit, blessed God Three in One!

We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith in Christ alone apart from works; justification is that act of God in which the imputed righteousness of Christ is credited to our account; all our hopes for heaven rest solely on the divinity of His person and the sufficiency and finality of His work of atonement.

We believe that the Christian Church, both universal and local, was set up by the Lord Jesus Christ to be His Body on earth; God has given to the Church the glorious privilege of preaching the gospel in all the world; all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation are our brothers and sisters in Christ regardless of denominational distinctions.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father. There is only one true God, Maker of heaven and earth; all the gods of the heathen are false gods; repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ are essential to salvation; the gospel is the only message of salvation for the lost mankind.

We believe that this resurrection of the unsaved dead to judgment will be a physical resurrection, whereupon receiving their judgment (John 5:28,29), they will be committed to an eternal conscious punishment in the lake of fire (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:11-15).

We believe that after the closing of the millennium, the temporary release of Satan, and the judgment of unbelievers (2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:7-15), the saved will enter the eternal state of glory with God, after which the elements of this earth are to be dissolved (2 Peter 3:10) and replaced with a new earth wherein only righteousness dwells (Ephesians 5:5; Revelation 20:15, 21-22). Following this, the heavenly city will come down out of heaven (Revelation 21:2) and will be the dwelling place of the saints, where they will enjoy forever fellowship with God and one another (John 17:3; Revelation 21-22). Our Lord Jesus Christ, having fulfilled His redemptive mission, will then deliver up the kingdom to God the Father (1 Corinthians 15:24-28) that in all spheres the triune God may reign forever and ever (1 Corinthians 15:28).
