We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible, salvation by grace through faith in Christ, the deity of Jesus Christ, the virgin birth, the blood atonement, the bodily resurrection, and the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to the earth. We believe Christians are to “...live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world” (Titus 2:12). We believe and practice personal soul winning emphasizing the Great Commission (Acts 1:8).

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. It is the supreme and final authority in faith and practice. It was written by holy men, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and is God’s revealed word to man.

We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace; that it is received by: repentance, the renouncing and forsaking of one's sins; and faith, the personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, trusting in His atoning sacrifice at the cross; and that there is no other means of being saved.
​
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin Mary; the He was true God and true man; that He lived a sinless life upon this earth; that He died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of all mankind; that He rose bodily from he grave on the third day; that he ascended bodily into Heaven where He continues His ministry at the right hand of God as our Advocate and High Priest; and that He is personally, visibly and imminently returning to this earth to set up His Kingdom.
​
We believe that God has given to the believer Scriptural grounds for knowing positively that he is saved; that God has promised and provided to keep His children even in times of failure; when they fall out of fellowship with Him; that God has assured His followers that as believers they are secure in Christ and shall never perish.  We believe that the Christians belief must be maintained throughout his or her Christian life. If a person were to ever recant of their belief they would be making shipwreck of their faith and their doom would be sealed. (I Tim. 1:18-19, Col 1:21-23, Heb. 3:14)  Just as a person, by their own free will, accepted God’s gift of salvation, we believe that they also through their free will can choose to walk away from God through unbelief. (Heb.6:4-6)

We believe that all men will stand before God in judgment - the righteous before the Judgment Seat of Christ, when Jesus returns for His Bride, the Church and the unrighteous before the Great White Throne Judgment. The wicked will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
