Statement of Faith

We believe:

  1. In One Triune God: 
    (I John 5:7; Matthew 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14)
  2. In the authority and infallibility of Scripture; 
    (I Thess. 2:13; Proverbs 30:5; II Timothy 3:15-16)
  3. In a literal six-day creation; 
    (Exodus 20:8-11; John 5:46-47)
  4. In the sovereignty and providence of God in history; 
    (Psalms 67:4; Acts 17:24-25; Phil. 1:12; 
    Romans 8:28)
  5. In man’s creation by God and fall in Adam; 
    (Genesis 1:26-28; Eph. 4:24; Romans 5:12)
  6. In mortal man’s sinful nature and need of the Savior; 
    (Romans 5:12; I Cor. 15:21-22; Ephesians 2:5)
  7. In the true deity and humanity of Jesus Christ; 
    (John 1:14; Matthew 1:22-23; Luke 24:37-43;
    Mark 16:19)
  8. In His atoning death, bodily resurrection, current reign, and future return;  
    (2 Cor. 5:21; Eph. 1:19-22; I Cor. 15:25; Acts 1:11; 
    II Thess. 1:6-10)
  9. In justification by faith alone; 
    (Romans 3:28; 4:5; Eph. 2:8-9)
  10. That faith necessarily produces good works; 
    (James 2:16; 17-18; Gal. 4:6)
  11. That God’s moral law binds all men and nations; 
    (Matthew 5:17-20; Romans 13:8-10; Psalms 119:27; Romans 7:22)
  12. That the Christian’s conscience may not be bound by human traditions and laws; 
    (Acts 24:16; 5:29; 23:1; Hebrews 13:18)
  13. That the church is the company of the redeemed; 
    (John 10:16; Revelation 7:9-10; Acts 20:28)
  14. That the church’s ministry and worship is basic to revival; 
    (Eph. 4:11-13; Matthew 16:18-19; Matthew 18:17)
  15. In the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. 
    (Acts 24:25; John 5:28-29; Matthew 25:46) 
  16. That God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a    marriage between one man and one woman.   We believe that any form of sexual immorality; including homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgender, 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:
    (Gen. 2:24; Gen.19:5,13; Gen. 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Rom. 1:26-29; I Cor. 5:1; 6:9; I Thess. 4:1-8; Heb. 3:4)
  17. That the only Scriptural marriage is the joining of one man and one Woman:
    (Gen. 2:24; Rom. 7:2; I Cor. 7:10; Eph. 5:22-23)
