Tap any of these summary statements for a fuller explanation.
The Bible: We believe the Bible is the Word of God complete, that the sixty-six (66) books, as they were originally written, comprising the Old and New Testaments, were entirely free of error, that the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice, and is the true basis of Christian unity.
God: We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ: We believe in the absolute deity and humanity of Jesus Christ in his very being, in His eternal existence with the Father in preincarnate glory, in His miraculous virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return.
The Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, absolutely divine in His very being, who convicts of sin, of righteousness and of judgment, who regenerates, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ.
Satan: We believe that Satan exists as an evil personality, is the origin of sin, the archenemy of God and humanity.
Humans: We believe that humans were divinely created in the image of God, that they sinned, becoming guilty before God, resulting in total depravity, thereby incurring physical and spiritual death.
Salvation: We believe that salvation is by God's grace, that by the decree of the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered an expiatory and propitiatory death on our behalf and that justification is by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that all those who are born of the Spirit of God shall be divinely preserved and finally perfected in the image of God.
Future Things: We believe in the personal, bodily and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the just and unjust, in the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, the judgment, and conscious, eternal punishment of the wicked.
The Church: We believe that the Church is a company of immersed believers, called out from the world, set apart for the Lord Jesus, voluntarily associated for the ministry of the Word, the mutual edification of its members, the propagation of the faith and the observance of the ordinances. We believe it is an independent sovereign body, exercising its own gifts, precepts and privileges that have been divinely awarded according to the word of God under the Lordship of Christ, the great Head of the Church. We believe that its leaders are pastors (elders, overseers) and deacons.
Ordinances: We believe that there are only two (2) ordinances for the church regularly observed in the New Testament in the following order:
A. Baptism: Which is the immersion of the believer in water, whereby they obey Christ's command and set forth their identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
B. The Lord’s Supper: Which is the memorial wherein the believer partakes of the two elements, bread and wine, which symbolize the body and shed blood of the Lord, proclaiming His death until He comes.

Government: We believe in the entire separation of church and state.
The Lord’s Day: We believe that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day and that in a special sense, it is the divinely appointed day for worship and spiritual exercise.
Governments and authorities: We believe that civil government is of divine appointment for the interest and good order of society. Those in authority are to be prayed for, conscientiously honoured and obeyed, except only in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only Lord of the conscience and the Prince of the kings of the earth.
