Doctrinal Statement

• We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is verbally inspired of God, is inerrant, and is our only rule in matters of faith and practice (Mark 12:26, 36; Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:39; Romans 15:4; II Timothy 3:16).
• We believe in creation, not evolution; that man was created by a direct act of God and in the image of God (Genesis 1:26).
• We believe that Adam and Eve, in yielding to the temptation of Satan, fell into sin, therefore transmitting this fallen state to the rest of humankind (Genesis 3, Psalm 51, Romans 3).
• We believe in the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, and the Deity of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (Luke 1:30-35, John 1:1-2).
• We believe in the vicarious and substitutional atonement for the sins of humankind by the shedding of His blood on the cross (Leviticus 17:11, Romans 5:6-9).
• We believe in the resurrection of His body from the tomb, His ascension to Heaven, and His advocacy for us (John 20:20, Acts 1:9, Hebrews 7:25).
• We believe that He is personally coming again (I Thessalonians 4:13-18).
• We believe in the necessity of the New Birth, and we believe that this New Birth is through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit (John 3).
• We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, plus nothing and minus nothing, through the atonement of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9).
