Section 1. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES:  We believe in the verbal and plenary inspiration of the Scriptures, consisting of 66 books which constitute the Old and New Testaments, the Word of God, the final authority for faith and practice, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed. (Matthew 5:18; John 16:12-13; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)  

     Section 2. THE TRUE GOD: We believe that there is one and only one living and true God, an infinite all intelligent Spirit whose name is Jehovah, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and earth, inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love, that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost - equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

     Section 3. THE PERSON AND WORK OF CHRIST: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God, became man, (John 1:14) being conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:35) in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. We believe that He accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross, His blood being the purchase price, (Rom. 3:24-25) and that he secured that redemption forever by His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead (Rom. 4:25; I Peter 1:3-5).

     Section 4. THE PERSON AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, took up His abode in the world in a special sense on the day of Pentecost, who according to promise indwells every believer at salvation (I Cor. 6:19-20; John 14:16-17). He baptizes each believer into the Body of Christ (I Cor. 12:13), seals them unto the day of Redemption, (Eph. 4:30, Eph. 1:13-14) and it is the commandment to every believer to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:18). The ministry of the Holy Spirit to the world is that of conviction in relation to sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:7-11).

     Section 5. THE CREATION AND FALL OF MAN: We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, (Gen. 1:26-27) but that in the transgression of Adam (Gen. 3:6-7) the whole human race fell, inherited a sinful nature (Rom. 5:12), became alienated from God and was totally unable to change his lost condition (Eph. 2:12).

     Section 6. THE ORIGIN AND PERSONALITY OF SATAN: We believe that God created an innumerable company of spiritual beings known as angels. The highet in rank, Lucifer, sinned through pride, becoming Satan, of which many demons followed him in his fall (Isa. 14:12-14). We believe that Satan is the originator of sin, who led the human race into transgression and accomplished their fall (Gen. 3:1-19). We believe that Satan is a direct enemy of God, and in his warfare appears as an angel of light to blind men from the Gospel of Christ (II Cor. 4:3-4; I Peter 5:8).

     Section 7. THE WAY OF SALVATION: We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly by grace through the mediational offices of the Son of God; who by the appointment of the Father became flesh and dwelt among men, yet withot sin; honored the divine law by his personal obedience, and by His death made a full atonement for our sins. Having risen from the dead, the son of God is now enthroned in heaven, uniting in his wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfections, and is in every way qualified to be the only suitable, compassionate, and all-sufficient Savior (Eph. 2:8, 9; John 1:12, 14; II Cor. 5:21).

     Section 8. THE SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER: We believe because of the eternal purpose of God toward His creation and because of His freedom to exercise grace toward the sinner on the grounds of the finished work of Christ, all genuine true believers who are once a child of God are kept secure forever (Rom. 8:1, 38-39; John 10:27-30; John 3:24; I Peter 1:5; John 17:11). We believe it is the privilege of all who are born again to be assured of their Salvation (I John 5:13).

     Section 9. SANCTIFICATION: We believe that sanctification, which is a setting apart unto God, is threefold: First, at the time of Salvation the individual is positionally set apart once for all (Heb. 10:10; I Cor. 6:11). Second, we believe that the believer retains his sin nature, which cannot be eradicated in this life. There is, therefore, a "progressive" sanctification wherein the Christian is to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Saviour Jesus Christ (John 17:17; II Peter 3:18). Third, we believe that the child of God will be "totally" sanctified in his state, when he shall see his Lord and shall be "like Him" (I Thess. 3:13; 5:23).

     Section 10. THE RETURN OF CHRIST: We believe that at Christ's coming in the air, the bodies of the dead in Christ shall first be raised incorruptible and reunited with soul and spirit; the bodies of Christians who are alive shall be changed and glorified, and without dying, shall be caught up to be with the Lord (I Thess. 4:13-17; I Cor. 15:51-53). On earth the tribulation will occur, while in Heaven, the saved will appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, be rewarded for their works (II Cor. 5:10; I Cor. 3:11-15) and enjoy the marriage supper of the Lamb. After these things, Christ will return bodily and visibly to the earth, with His saints, and shall rule the world in righteousness for a thousand years at the end of which, the unsaved dead will be resurrected, and their judgment and condemnation shall take place (Matt. 24:30-31; Rev. 11:16; Rev. 20:5-6, 11:15). We believe in Pre-Tribulation rapture and the Pre-Millenial second coming of Christ.

     Section 11. THE ETERNAL STATE: We believe that those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation do at death immediately pass into His presence (Phil. 1:23) and there remain until the resurrection of the body at the rapture, when soul and body, reunited, shall be with Him forever; but unbelievers remain after death in Hell until the final judgment of the Great White Throne at the close of the millennium, when soul and body, reunited, shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated, but to be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power (Luke 16:19-26; II Cor. 5:8; II Thess. 1:7-9; Jude 6-7; Rev. 20:11-15).

     Section 12. THE CHURCH ORDINANCES: We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are the only ordinances of the church and that they are the scriptural means of testimony for the church in this age (I Cor. 11:2).

     Section 13. STEWARDSHIP: We believe that God, the Creator and Owner of all things and persons, has entrusted to the Christian, his life, time, talents, influence, money, goods, and all things whatsoever he possesses; that as steward of these possessions he is to administer them under the will of God for the purposes of Jesus Christ; that in definite expression of this stewardship he is to contribute systematically at least a tithe of his means to the support of His church, and free will offerings to the missionary and benevolent enterprises of the church as God directs.

     Section 14. THE LORD'S DAY: We believe that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day, and is to be kept sacred for religious purposes by abstaining from secular labor, whenever possible.

     Section 15. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BELIEVERS: We believe that all believers should seek to walk in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Lord and Saviour and that separation from worldly practices is commanded by God (Rom. 12:1-2; 14:13; I Cor. 6:19-20; Col. 3:17).

     Section 16. CIVIL GOVERNMENT: We believe that civil government is of divine appointment for the interest and good order of human society; and that magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored and obeyed except only in things opposed to God's Holy Word.

     Section 17. A GOSPEL CHURCH: We believe that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the ordinances of Christ, governed by His law, and exercising the gifts, rights and privileges invested in them by His word; that its scriptural officers are pastors and deacons, whose qualifications are defined in the epistles of Timothy and Titus, together with such other leaders, teachers and workers as the church may select and as are needed in carrying out the true functions of a gospel church.

     Section 18. SEPARATION: We believe II Corinthians 6:14-7:1 teaches separation of the believer from the world and unrighteousness, wherever it is found, and that it displeases God to attempt to do His work unequally yoked as described in this passage. We take this position against modern day neo-evangelicalism, ecu-menicalism, and interdenominationalism, which cooperates with the ecumenical movement, secret lodges and cults. We believe this passage not only teaches direct separation from the above, but separation from those who tolerate and cooperate with those evils as well (Eph. 5:6-17). We believe that we should earnestly contend for the faith once for all delivered unto the saints; and that we should preach the Word, being instant in season, out of season, reproving, rebuking, exhorting with all longsuffering and doctrine (I John 2:16-17; Deut. 22:9-12; II Tim. 4:1-8).

     Section 19. ECCLESIASTICAL SEPARATION: This church will not support, co-operate with, or lend its name or influence to any organization, movement or men who are:

     d. Ecumenical in nature of New-Evangelical in work and assocations (John 14:15; Rom. 16:17; II Cor. 6:14-17; II Thess. 3:6; I Tim. 6:3-5; I John 2:3-5; I John 5:2-3; II John 9-11). 

OUR MESSAGE

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:10,23)

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:9-13)
