We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired word of God. We further believe that the Holy Scriptures have been completely and perfectly preserved for the world in the 1611 King James Version of the bible. We believe that the sixty-six (66) books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to man. (2 Tim. 3:16–17; 2 Pet. 1:20–21)

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son and Holy Ghost—each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections.

 (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; John 14:10, 26)

We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that he might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Isa. 7:14; 9:16; Luke 1:35; John 1:1–2, 14; 2 Cor. 5:19–21; Gal. 4:4–5; Phil. 2:5–8)

We believe that Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Acts 2:18–26; Rom. 3::24–25; 1 Pet. 2:24; Eph. 1:7; 1 Pet. 1:3–5) 

We believe that Christ ascended to Heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor and Advocate. (Acts 1:9-10; Heb. 9:24; 7:25; Rom. 8:34; 1 John 2:1–2)

We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Eph. 1:7; 2:8–10; 1 Pet. 1:18–19).

We believe that the great blessing, which Christ secures to such as believe in Him, is justification; that justification includes the pardon of all sin, and the promise of eternal life; that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any work of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer’s blood.

We believe that sanctification is the process by which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of His holiness; that it is progressive work; that it is begun in regeneration; and that it is carried on in the hearts of believers by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, through the appropriated means of the Word of God, self-examination, self-denial, watchfulness and prayer.

We believe that all true believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption; that they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.  

We believe in the imminent, bodily return of Jesus Christ, at which time He will rapture His church out of the earth. We believe that immediately following will be the seven-year Tribulation period, after which, the Lord will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which was promised to the nation of Israel (Psa. 89:3-4; Dan. 2:31-45; Zech. 14:4-11; 1 Thess. 1:10; 11 Thess. 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Rev. 3:10; 19:11-26; 20:1-6).

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men; the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment (Matt. 25:46; John 5:28, 29; 11:25–26; Rev. 20:5–6, 12–13)

We believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection, when spirit, soul and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord (Luke 23:43; 2 Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:23; 3:21; 1 Thess. 4:16–17; Rev. 20:4–6).

We believe that the souls of unbelievers remain, after death, in conscious punishment until the second resurrection, when with soul and body reunited they shall appear at the Great White Throne Judgment, and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting, conscious punishment and torment (Matt. 25:41-4; Mark 9:43–48; Luke 16:19–26; 2 Thess. 1:7–9; Jude 6–7; Rev. 20:11–15).
