Articles Of Faith

1.

We believe that the entire Bible is the verbally inspired, infallible Word of God, wholly without error in the original manuscripts, and the complete revelation of God to man. The Bible is our only guide for faith and practice.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in the person of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal, pre-tribulational rapture of the church, and in His personal pre-millennial return in power and glory.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

10.

We believe that the local church is to be independent and self-governing, under the authority of Jesus Christ, as belonging to Him and that the local church is God’s institution for this age, given for the purpose of evangelizing the lost and the training of believers in Biblical truth that they might lead holy lives to the honor and glory of Jesus Christ. It is to this end and for this purpose that we believe in and practice Christian education.
Matthew 16:17-18, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 4:11-16, Ephesians 5:25-27
