What we believe.

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and are inerrant in the original writings and that they are the Word of God and the final authority in faith and conduct.

We believe in one God, the Creator of all things and man, eternally existing in three Persons in a threefold relationship, that of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is God incarnate, the God-man.

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also the spiritual death which is separation from God; that Adam's sin is imputed to the whole race of mankind; that all human beings are born with a sinful nature; and that all are sinners before God in thought, word, and deed.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe in Him are freely justified and stand before God accepted in the character and merit of Jesus Christ.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and in His ascension into heaven and that in His present glorified body He is the Head of the church, the Lord of the individual believer, the High Priest over the House of God, and the Advocate in the Family of God.

We believe in the personal, imminent, pretribulational, and premillennial second coming of Christ, first to receive His own to Himself and later to set up His earthly Kingdom and to reign over redeemed Israel and all nations of the world — that is, to bring peace and blessing to the whole world.

We believe that all who by faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit and a new nature, and also are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ.

We believe that God is the spiritual Father only of those who trust His Son, Jesus Christ, as Savior and that only those saved through faith in Christ are spiritual brothers.
