THE BIBLE
We believe the English King James Bible to be the God-promised, inerrant, infallible, words of the living God. And as such, is “the holy scriptures” and thereby “given by inspiration of God.” making it THE final authority in all matters of faith and practice. (Pro. 30:5; Psa. 12:6,7; II Tim. 3:15-17, Jn 14:21-22, 1 Samuel 3:21)
JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His vicarious atonement, His bodily resurrection, and His Pretribulational and Premillennial second coming. (John 1:1; Isa. 7:14; I John. 2:1-2)
SALVATION
We believe salvation is “by grace through faith” in the finished work of Jesus Christ, open to all who will receive it, and “not by works of righteousness which we have done.” Furthermore, we adhere to the Bible position and Baptist adherence that the believer’s soul is eternally secure after salvation. (Eph. 2:8-9; Tit. 3:5; John 5:24)
CHURCH
We believe in two scriptural uses of the word “church” (the spiritual body of Christ, consisting of all believers, and each local assembly of believers). We believe that all people who have been born again are a part of “the church, which is his body,” and therefore should join an autonomous local church. Assembling together around the authority of Gods Book (see above) For the edification of the saints by Preaching ( 1 Cor. 1:17-31, Eph. 4:10-16) Furthermore, we believe the Biblical church to be an Independent Bible believing (KJV) Baptist Church. We believe in two church ordinances: Water baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and two offices: Pastor and Deacon. (I Cor. 1:16, 11:23-27, 12:13; Eph. 1:22-23; I Tim. 3:1-13)
DOCTRINE
We are Baptist in doctrine, and traditional in views of music and worship. We subscribe to a moderate dispensationalism ( not ‘hyper’ or ‘ultra-Grace’), and are anti-Calvinistic (reformed or otherwise) in theology. We hold the Biblical position along with the Reformers that the Roman Catholic Church is “the great whore” of Revelation 17, and are against the falsehoods taught in the major seminaries across the country: the lies of higher and lower criticism of the word of God. We are against the teachings of Evolution. We also believe in a practical, Biblical Christianity: prayer, personal work, giving, ministering to the saints, and a daily walk with Jesus Christ
