Article 01
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God — inerrant, infallible, God-breathed, and preserved for us in the King James Bible. It is the final authority for faith and practice.
II Timothy 3:15–17
What We Believe
Our Doctrinal Statement
The historic truths we hold and preach from the King James Bible
Article 02
The Godhead
We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, and co-equal in power and glory.
II Corinthians 13:14
Article 03
The Person and Work of Christ
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and that He redeems the lost through His substitutionary death on the cross and His literal, bodily resurrection.
John 1:1–2, 14
Article 04
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and that He regenerates, baptizes, indwells, and seals every believer unto the day of redemption.
John 16:8–11
Article 05
The Total Depravity of Man
We believe man was created in the image of God, but that in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, became alienated from God, and is of himself utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.
Romans 3:22–23
Article 06
The Freeness of Salvation
We believe salvation is the free gift of God, brought to man by grace and received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed at Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.
Ephesians 2:8–10
Article 07
Eternal Security & Assurance
We believe all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are secure in Christ forever.
John 10:27–30
Article 08
The Two Natures of the Believer
We believe every saved person possesses two natures, with provision made for the victory of the new nature over the old through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Galatians 5:16–25
Article 09
Separation
We believe all the saved should live so as not to bring reproach upon their Saviour, and that separation from all religious apostasy and from worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations is commanded of God.
II Corinthians 6:14–7:1
Article 10
The Mission of the Saved
We believe it is the obligation of the saved to witness — by life and by word — to the truths of the Gospel to all mankind.
Matthew 28:19–20
Article 11
The Ministry and Scriptural Gifts
We believe God is sovereign in the bestowment of His gifts, that the gifts of evangelists, pastors, and teachers are sufficient for the perfecting of the saints today, and that the sign gifts gradually ceased as the New Testament Scriptures were completed.
Ephesians 4:7–12
Article 12
The Church
We believe the church, the body and espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons of this present age, and that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught in the New Testament.
Ephesians 1:22–23
Article 13
Dispensationalism
We believe in the dispensational view of Bible interpretation, while rejecting the extreme teaching known as hyper-dispensationalism.
II Timothy 2:15
Article 14
The Personality of Satan
We believe Satan is a person — the author of sin and the cause of the fall — the open and declared enemy of God and man, who shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire.
Isaiah 14:12–17
Article 15
The Second Advent of Christ
We believe in the personal, imminent, pre-tribulational, and pre-millennial coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed, and in His subsequent return to earth with His saints to establish His millennial kingdom.
I Thessalonians 4:13–18
Article 16
The Eternal State
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men — the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment. The redeemed, absent from the body, are present with the Lord in conscious bliss.
John 5:28–29
Article 17
The Lord's Supper
We believe the Lord's Supper is the commemoration of His death and coming again, to be observed with self-examination.
I Corinthians 11:23–28
Article 18
Baptism
We believe in water baptism by immersion for the believer as an outward evidence of having received Jesus Christ as Saviour. Baptism in no way adds to salvation, which is by faith alone.
Acts 10:44–48
