Doctrinal Statement

WE BELIEVE:
  1. In the infallible verbal inspiration of the whole Bible,

    2. (II Timothy 3:16, 17)
  2. In the Triune God, (Matthew 28:19.)
  3. In the Genesis account of Creation, (Genesis 1.)
  4. In the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, (Matthew 1:20.)
  5. In the Deity of Jesus Christ, (John 10:30.)
  6. In the vicarious sacrifice of Jesus Christ, (Hebrews 2:9.)
  7. That salvation is wholly by grace through faith in Christ, (Ephesians 2:8;) and that all believers are preserved eternally,

    8. (I Peter 1:5; John10:27- 30.)

  8. In the bodily resurrection and ascension of Jesus, and the bodily resurrection of His saints, (I Corinthians 15:51-58) the second coming of Jesus Christ, personal and bodily, as the crowning event of this Gentile age, (Acts 1:11), to set up His kingdom on earth and to rule upon the earth one thousand years, (Revelation 20:6.)
  9. In the eternal punishment of the finally impenitent, (Matthew 25:46)
  10. That a scriptural church is a visible assembly of baptized believers, covenanted together under New Testament law for the purpose of carrying out the Great Commission, with an unbroken history from the personal ministry of Jesus on the earth to this present day,
  11. That the Great Commission was give to the churches only; that each church should exercise equal authority; and that the churches should meet their responsibilities according to their several abilities.
  12. That all co-operating bodies, such as associations, conventions, boards, committees, etc., are and properly should be servants of the church (Matthew 20:25-28)
  13. That Scriptural baptism is immersion of believers, administered by a New Testament church; the Lord's Supper is a memorial ordinance,restricted to faithful members of that local church.
