We believe:
- The HOLY BIBLE is our rule of faith and practice. We preach and study all 66 books of the Bible.
- Church is a Baptist Church. It is not Protestant, unionistic, nor interdenominational. It is separate from all isms of all kinds.
- The Bible to be the inspired Word of God without error as originally written.
- The Genesis account of creation and the fall of man.
- In total depravity.
- All are lost unless born again.
- That we are saved by grace through faith and without works on the part of man.
- That repentance and faith are inseparable graces and that all who do not repent and believe are lost.
- In the eternal security of the believer.
- That after one is saved that he or she should be scripturally baptized and be a member of a sound New Testament Baptist Church.
- That Jesus Christ organized a church while here on earth during His personal ministry (before Pentecost) and that He gave that church a commission, Matt. 28:19, 20.
- That there are two church ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism is the immersion of a saved person in water upon the authority of a true Baptist church.
- That the Lord’s Supper is restricted to each local church and that the elements are unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine.
- That the church is local, visible, and that she has the Bible for her one and only and all sufficient rule of faith and practice and that the decisions of a church are final and that no other church or organization of any kind has any right to interfere with her decisions. We do NOT believe that there is any such thing as an “invisible” or “universal” church.
- That the Scriptural way to finance the Lord’s work is by tithes and offerings.
- That each church can give her mission money where she chooses to do so and that without interference. We do NOT believe that missions money should be used to support unsound missionaries or unsound seminaries or unsound colleges.
- That all churches should be missionary.
- That the ordaining of preachers is to be done by a local church and not by a mission or association, etc.
- In the Sovereignty of God, in foreknowledge, predestination, election, effectual calling, justification and glorification and that whosoever will may come and that these do not contradict each other.
- That God calls only men to preach.
- In the premillenial second coming of Christ.
- That Heaven is a real place and that Hell is a real place.
- In the Trinity of God and that the Devil is a person, and that there will be two resurrections, one of the saved and one for the lost.
