We believe there is one true God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each of 
whom possesses equally all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of personality. He is the Creator 
and Sustainer of all things (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Psalm 18:35)

We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became fully Man without ceasing to be fully God 
through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and sinless life. He voluntarily paid for the sins of 
all people by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing 
salvation for all who trust in Him alone. The third day, He arose from the dead. He ascended into heaven 
and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and man, 
continually makes intercession for His own (Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 1 Corinthians 15:3-
4; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; Hebrew 1:1-3; 1Timothy 2:5). 

We believe that the Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and apply the saving 
work of Christ to people. He convicts sinners of their need for Christ, baptizes them into the Body of 
Christ, imparts new life to them, imparts spiritual gifts to them, indwells them, and seals them until the 
day of redemption. 
Each believer is called to live in the power of the indwelling Spirit and in so doing, his faith will be 
manifested in works pleasing to God (John 16:5-14; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; Matthew 3:11; Galatians 5:22; 
Mark 1:8; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Eph. 1:13; 1 Corinthians 12:1-7; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 5:8-21; 1 Corinthians 
3:16; 2 Corinthians 3:6; 1 Corinthians 12:13). 

We believe that every word in the original writings of the Holy Scriptures is inspired by God and 
therefore without error. We accept the Holy Scriptures as the supreme and final authority on all matters 
on which it speaks (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Psalm 19:1-7)

We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin through disobedience to a divine 
command and, therefore, brought all mankind under condemnation. Man's nature is, therefore, such that 
he is totally unable to please God for acquisition of a right standing before Him (Genesis 1:27, 3; Romans 
5:12; Romans 3:9-18; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23).

​We believe that salvation is the gift of eternal life received only through a personal trust in Jesus Christ, 
Who was man's substitute for sin. This gift is given by the unmerited favor of God (grace) and is given 
without regard to any and all human works or goodness. All those who believe in Jesus are eternally 
secure in Him. 
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not 
perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:3-5; John 10:28-
30). 

We believe that God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly in a local Church for worship, 
for participation in ordinances, for evangelism, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual 
encouragement (Hebrews 10:25). 

We believe that God has ordained and created all authority consisting of three basic institutions: 1) the 
home, 2) the Church, and 3) the state. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all (including the
authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word. God has given each institution 
specific biblical responsibilities and balanced those responsibilities with the understanding that no 
institution has the right to infringe upon the other. The home, the Church, and the state are equal and 
sovereign in their respective biblically assigned spheres of responsibility under God. (Romans 13:1-7; 
Ephesians 5:22-24; Hebrews 13:17; 1 Peter 2:13-14) 

1. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a 
marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, 
bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift 
of sex. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one’s gender by surgery or 
appearance (Genesis 2:24; 19:4-7, 13; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1: 26-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:9-10; 1 
Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4). 
2. We believe that the only legitimate marriage is the joining of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; 
Romans 7:2; 1 Corinthians 7:10; Ephesians 5:22-23)

1. We believe that men and women are spiritually equal in position before God, but that God has ordained 
distinct and separate functions for men and women in the home and the Church. The husband is to be the 
leader of the home, and women are to be the helpmate to glorify God by establishing a Godly household. 
2. We believe that God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. The 
husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the Church. The wife is to submit herself to the scriptural 
leadership of her husband as the Church submits to the headship of Christ. Children are a heritage from 
the Lord. Parents are responsible for teaching their children spiritual and moral values and leading them, 
through consistent lifestyle example and appropriate discipline (Genesis 1:26-28; Exodus 20:12; 
Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Psalm 127:3-5; Proverbs 19:18; 22:15; 23:13-14; Mark 10:6-12; 1 Corinthians 7:1-
16; Ephesians 5:21-33; 6:1-4, Colossians 3:18-21; 1 Peter 3:1-7).

We believe that God disapproves of divorce and intends marriage to last until one of the spouses dies 
(Malachi 2:14-17; Matthew 19:3-12; Mark 10:1-12; Luke 16:18; Romans 7:2-3). 

We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. 
Abortion constitutes the unjustifiable taking of innocent human life. We reject any teaching that abortions 
of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the 
mental well-being of the mother are acceptable. (Job 3:16; Psalm 139:14-16; Isaiah 44:24; 49:1, 5; 
Jeremiah 1:5; Luke 1:44). 

We believe in the imminent return of Christ for His Church, the eternal state of punishment for the 
unsaved called hell, and the eternal state of blessing for the saved called heaven (Acts 1:9-11; 1 
Thessalonians 4:13-18; Philippians 3:20; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; John 3:16; 1 John 2:25). 

​The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final 
source of all that we believe. We do believe, however, that the foregoing Statement of Faith accurately 
represents the teaching of the Bible and, therefore, is binding upon all members. All literature used in 
the Church shall be in complete agreement with the Statement of Faith.
