Doctrinal Statement

SALVATION FOR SINNERS: We believe salvation was provided
through Jesus Christ by His substitutionary and sacrificial death on
the cross, sufficient for all, taking every legal obstacle out of the way,
and that all must be born again or be forever lost.


ETERNAL LIFE: We believe eternal life is the sovereign work of
God’s grace implanted in the sinner when he believes and receives
Christ.


TWO DESTINIES: We believe the destiny for the believer is to be
present (at home) with the Lord and for the unbeliever is to be
separated from the presence of the Lord in everlasting punishment.


THE CHURCH: We believe the church is an organism of which
Christ is the head, made up of individual believers who have been
saved by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ through the grace
of God and baptized into Christ’s body by the Holy Spirit.


ONE COMMISSION: We believe the great evangelistic and
missionary commission given by Jesus Christ to the disciples and
to the continuing church is that of making Christ known by word and
example and bringing to maturity those who believe by instruction
in the Word.


SCRIPTURES:
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are all verbally inspired by God, without error as originally written, and our only infallible rule of faith and practice.


THE GODHEAD: We believe the Godhead eternally exists in three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one God having precisely the same nature, attributes, perfection, and worthy of precisely the same homage, confidence, and obedience.


THE SAVIOR: We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. We hold to His virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious death, bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His present high priestly ministry, His translation of the church, and His personal premillennial return to set up an earthly kingdom.


THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity who convicts the unsaved and effects the full salvation of the believer.


MAN: We believe, through the fall of man in Adam, all men are totally depraved and stand in need of regeneration.
