SCRIPTURES We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. We further accept the Textus Receptus manuscripts from which came the King James Bible, and accept the King James Bible as God's divinely preserved Word of God for the English speaking world. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)

TRINITY We believe that God is a person, eternally existing as a Trinity, manifesting Himself in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We further believe that these three are one God, but separate in personality and work. (Duet. 6:4; Matthew 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; John 14:10,26)

JESUS CHRIST We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, eternally existing yet born of a virgin. Being God, He lived a sinless life, whose death on the cross was both sufficient and substitutionary for the sins of the whole world. After making atonement for the sins of the world, with His own blood, He ascended into Heaven with a glorified body where He is seated at the right hand of the Father as Head of the Church, making intercession for the saints as our High Priest. (Isa. 7:14; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2, 14:1, II Cor.5: 19-21; Gal.4: 4-5; Phil. 2:5-8); (Acts 2:18-36; Romans 3:24-25; I Peter 2:24; I Peter 1:3-5); (Acts 1:9-10; Heb.9: 24; Heb 7:25; Rom 8:34; I John 2:1-2)

SALVATION We believe that man is lost in sin and must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. We believe that for lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential. The salvation of a man's soul is by grace alone through personal faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. (John 1:12; John 3:16; John 10:27-30; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 10:9-10, 13; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-10; I Peter 1:3-5, 19)

CHURCH We believe that the local church is a group of believers baptized in water; assembled together for edification, exhortation, and evangelism as commanded by Christ in the Great Commission; preaching the gospel to every creature. We believe God's program today is centered in the local New Testament church, which is independent and missionary minded. (Matthew 16:18; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-47; Acts 13: 1-3; 14:27)

SECOND COMING We believe the Lord Jesus Christ Himself is coming again in the air at any moment to rapture His church and to reward their service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a seven year period called the Tribulation, after which Christ shall return visibly to the earth with His saints to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule. After this, the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from God forever, while believers spend eternity in the fullness of joy in Heaven with the Lord. (Psalm 89:3-4; Dan 2:31-45; Zech 14:4-11; I Thes 1:10; I Thes 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Rev 3:10; 19:11-16; 20:1-6)

POSITIONAL STATEMENT We hold to the historic Baptist position of Biblical separation. We are Biblical Fundamentalists - and repudiate the liberal and unscriptural religious trends of the day, Ecumenicalism, Neo-Orthodoxy, New Evangelicalism and the excesses of the Charismatic movement. (II Corinthians 6:14-18; Ephesians 5:10-12)
