What We Believe
Scriptures
We believe that the Bible consists of 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the
New Testament. We believe that this Bible was written by men who were moved by God
and the Holy Spirit. The Bible is without error and is our sole authority for faith and
practice. We believe that God has inspired every word and that He has preserved His Word
to our present day. We believe that God has preserved His Word in the Hebrew Masoretic
Text (O.T.) and in the Greek Textus Receptus (N.T.). We believe that the King James Bible
is the only translation in the English language which is based on the pure Word of God.

Sovereign God
We believe in one God (monotheism), eternally existing in three Persons: the Father,
the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit -- the Trinity (I John 5:7; Matt. 28:19).

The Son
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, that He was supernaturally begotten by the
Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and is truly totally God and truly totally man (Matt. 1:20-21;
Luke 1:35-36, 2:10-11). He is the only begotten Son of God (John 1:14; 3:16; 3:18; I
John 4:9) and at the same time God the Son, therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ, sinless,
omnipotent, omniscient, Saviour of sinners, King of kings, and Lord of lords.
We believe in the literal, physical, bodily resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord,
in His literal, physical, bodily ascension into Heaven and in His present work there as
High Priest and Advocate for us (Heb. 9:24; 10:20-21; I Tim. 2:5-6; I John 2:12).

Commission; preaching the Gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15, I Corinthians 12:12,

Sin
Man was created in the image of God but fell through sin, bringing not only physical
death, but also spiritual death or eternal separation from God. Now all of mankind
exists as a fallen race with an inherited sinful nature. Genesis 2:16, Genesis 3:16-19,
Romans 3:10-23, Romans 6:23

Sacrifice of Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, that He was
buried and arose alive and triumphant from the grave, and in so doing He made the
necessary sacrifice for atonement, became the substitute for our redemption which
thereby paid our sin debt and purchased our salvation for us, and that all who place
their faith in full trust to Him are saved by His shed blood (I Cor. 15:3-4; Col. 1:14;
Eph. 1:7; Rom. 5:9; Acts 4:12).
