Holy Scriptures	We believe in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired of God, inerrant in the original writings, and of supreme and final authority in faith and practice.
Holy Trinity	We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, and co-equal in power and glory; all have the same attributes and perfections.
Holy Spirit	We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, the third Person of the blessed Trinity, -equal with the Father and the Son. Relative to the world, the Holy Spirit restrains sin, convicts of sin, and reproves of righteousness and judgment. Relative to the believer, He regenerates, indwells, seals, fills, guides and illuminates, quickens, and sanctifies.
Creation	We believe that the Scriptures clearly and emphatically show that man was the result of the immediate, special, creative, and formative act of God, thus denying any theory of evolution. Man was created in the image of God as a tripartite being with body, soul, and spirit.
Man’s Sinful Nature	We believe that man, in the person of the first Adam, was created in innocence, but by voluntary transgression he sinned, thus plunging the whole human race into condemnation and death, so that all mankind is born in sin and shaped in iniquity. We become practicing sinners with the first expression of personal choice, not only by nature, but also by choice, and so we are without excuse before God.
Salvation	A) We believe that man is saved by the grace of God through faith in the sacrificial death and blood atonement of Jesus Christ. He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitionary sacrifice. All who believe in Christ as the Son of God, receive Him as Savior and are justified on the basis of His shed blood. B) We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. It is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God’s word. The Scriptures clearly forbid the use of the Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh.
Second Coming	We believe in the "Blessed Hope," the personal (bodily and visible), pre-tribulational, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones, as well as in His subsequent return to earth.
The Eternal State	A) We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men--the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment. B) We believe that the souls of the redeemed at death are absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection--the Rapture. Then spirit, soul, and body are reunited to appear at the Judgment Seat of Christ, to be glorified forever with the Lord. C) We believe that the souls of unbelievers, after death, remain in conscious torment until the second resurrection, when the reunited spirit, soul, and body 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.
The Local Church	We believe that a local church is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by a covenant of faith and fellowship of the Gospel. The local church observes the ordinances of Christ, is governed by His laws and exercises the gifts, rights and privileges invested in it by His word. It has the absolute right of self-government by the Holy Spirit. It is answerable only to Christ. In all matters of membership, policy, discipline, and benevolence, the will of the local church is final.
