What We Believe
-
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, preserved and authoritative Word of God. It hold truth and is without any error, and therefore is and remains to the end of this age the complete and final revelation of God to man. It is the standard and guide of conduct and action of the believer and church.
By the “Holy Bible”we mean the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation, which was written and providentially preserved in the Authorized King James Version published in 1611. Not only does it contain and convey the Word of God but IS the Word of God.

We believe that salvation for sinners is through grace by faith in Jesus Christ, who was without sin, and by appointment of God, freely took upon himself the sins of the world. That by His sacrifice and shedding of blood on the cross provided the perfect atonement for our sins.

We believe that Jesus rose from the dead after three days and ascended into heaven and “shall come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.”The “dead in Christ shall rise first”; and that the living saints “shall be caught up together with them in the clouds”; that “the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David”; and that “Christ shall reign a thousand years in righteousness until He hath put all enemies under His feet.”

We believe that in order to be saved, sinners must be born again and become a new creation in Christ; that it is instantaneous and not a process. Salvation will be evident in the born again through a manner above comprehension by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth. Salvation requires neither culture, character, religion nor good works to be saved.
Luke 5:27; John 2:12-13, 3:3-7, 10:27-28; Acts 2:4; Rom. 6:23, 10:9-10 & 13; II Cor. 5:17 & 19, 7:9-10; Gal. 5:22; Eph. 1:13, 2:1, 8 & 9, 4:30, 5:9; Col. 2:13, 5:19; Titus 3:5; II Pet. 1:4; I John 5:1

We believe that salvation is the free gift of God offered to all by the Gospel, and nothing prevents the salvation of any sinner except his own depravity and voluntary rejection of the Gospel. Every born again child of God is secure in Christ permanently and eternally sealed in Salvation. Real believers endure unto the end; that their attachment to Christ distinguishes them from superficial professors and they are kept by the power of God through faith unto eternal salvation.
