  • ARTICLE I...THE SCRIPTURES

    • We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired (II Peter 1:21). We believe the original scriptures to be inspired, infallible, inerrant, both Old and New Testaments, 66 books in all. This inerrancy applies to every statement of Scripture. We believe them to be the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds and religious beliefs should be tried (II Timothy 3:16-17).

  • ARTICLE II...GOD

    • We believe there is one true God, a Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in all things as to eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, and immutability (Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)

  • ARTICLE III...CHRIST

    • We believe in the virgin birth of Christ (Luke 1:26-35). His absolute impeccability (II Corinthians 5:21; I Peter 2:22; I John 3:5). His vicarious death (Romans 5:6-8). His bodily resurrection from the dead (Romans 4:25; Luke 24:36-40). His visible ascension (Luke 24:50-51). His present enthronement (Hebrews 1:3). His High Priestly Ministry and Advocacy (Hebrews 7:25-26; I John 2:1). And His Second Coming to the air and earth (I Thessalonians 4:15-18; II Thessalonians 1:7-10).

  • ARTICLE IV...MEN

    • We believe in the total depravity of man through the fall of Adam in Eden's Garden (Genesis 3; Romans 5:12-19). His absolute helplessness to please God in his unregenerate condition (Romans 3:9-19; Romans 8:8).

  • ARTICLE V...SALVATION

    • We believe in the love of God to the entire world (John 3:16). The necessity of the new birth through the Word and Spirit of God (John 3:3-7; I Peter 1:23-25). The uselessness of human works and merit to obtain salvation (Romans 4:5; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5). The finished work of Christ through which complete and eternal atonement for sin has been effected (John 19:30; Hebrews 9:26; Hebrews 10:12). Salvation by grace alone through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9; Acts 16:30-31). The efficacy of the blood of Christ, apart from which there can be no salvation (Hebrews 9:22; Ephesians 1:7; Colossians 1:30; I John 1:7). The complete justification of the believer in Christ (Acts 13:38-39; Romans 5:1). The present assurance of salvation (I John 5:11-13). The present possession of eternal life by every true believer (John 5:24; John 6:47). The eternal security of the genuine believer (John 10:28-30; Romans 8:35-39).

  • ARTICLE VI...PREMILLENIALISM

    • We believe in the rapture of the Church at the coming of Christ to the air (I Corinthians 15:51-57; I Thessalonians 4:13-18). The revelation of Christ at His coming to the earth prior to the setting up of His millennial kingdom (II Thessalonians 1:6-10). The personal, literal reign of Christ over the earth for one thousand (1,000) years (I Corinthians 15:24-28; Revelation 19:11-20; Revelation 20:4).
