What We Believe

God

We believe in one God manifested in three co-equal persons: Father ( Psalm 83:18 ), Son ( Matthew 3:17 , Matthew 17:5 , Mark 9:7 , Luke 9:35 , 15:24 ) and Holy Spirit ( John 4:24 , John 16:8,13 ).

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ was, is, and will always be God ( John 8:42 ). He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life ( 1 Peter 2:22 , 1 John 3:5 ) while here on earth.

The Bible

We believe the Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word. God has preserved His Word to all generations. The Authorized King James version is God’s preserved Word in the English language. ( 2 Timothy 3:16 , Proverbs 30:5 , Hebrews 4:12 )

Salvation

We believe in both a literal, eternal Heaven (Genesis 1:1 , Revelation 4 , 2 Corinthians 5:1 , John 14:2 , ) and a literal, eternal Hell. ( Revelation 14:11 , Revelation 20:10-15 , 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 , Mark 9:43-48 , Luke 16:23-24 , Jude 1:7 , Matthew 22:13 , Isaiah 14:9-12 , Isaiah 66:24 )

We believe in salvation by God’s grace through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because all people are sinners, there is absolutely nothing we can do to merit salvation. ( Hebrews 13:8 , Hebrews 9:14,22 , Ephesians 2:8-9 , John 3:16 , John 14:6 , Acts 4:12 )

Baptism & Church Membership

All believers should be baptized by immersion, join a local, Bible-believing Baptist Church and take an active part in that church through both giving and serving. ( Romans 6:3-6 )

Discipleship & Missions

We believe that God has given each believer the responsibility to witness for Christ, and each local church the responsibility to preach the Gospel at home and abroad through missionaries. ( Matthew 28:18-20 )

Christian Lifestyle

We believe that all Christians should live lives’ separated from the world and consecrated to Christ. ( Romans 12:2 , Amos 3:3 , Ephesians 5:11 , 2 Corinthians 6:14 , John 17:13-16 )

Imminent Coming of Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ will return. He will first rapture all believers then return after the tribulation to begin His literal, millennial reign on this earth. ( Matthew 24:29-31 , 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 )
