We believe that the Bible is God's infallible Word, written by men who were divinely and uniquely inspired, and that it is our supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice. We affirm our belief in the verbal and plenary inspiration of the Scriptures in their original autographs.
We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power. We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and eternal death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
We believe in Jesus Christ , God's only Son, born of a virgin, sinless in His life, who atoned for the sins of the world by His death on the cross. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from God to convict the world of sin, of righteousness and judgement, and to regenerate, sanctify , comfort and seal forever those who have trusted in Jesus Christ as their Savior.
We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice, but that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life". We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as Savior and Lord shall be forever in His presence, and that those who reject Christ as Savior and Lord will be forever separated from God.
We believe that the church universal is composed of all regenerated believers. The local church is united together for the purpose of the worship of God, the fellowship of believers, the teaching of the Scriptures and the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ throughout the world.
We Believe that our Baptist distinctives are Scripturally sound. They include the competence of the individual soul in direct approach to God; the priesthood of all believers; and a regenerate church membership; the symbolic ordinances of Baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper; and the autonomy of the local church and its fellowship with other Baptist churches; of the solemn obligation to majority rule within the church, with equal rights to all and special privileges to none; the absolute separation of the church and state; and a worldwide program of missionary endeavor in obedience to the final command of our Lord.
