We hold as irrefutable truth that:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God; the same was in the beginning, with God." John 1:1

Jesus Christ is the Word, the Messiah that the Old Testament prophesied of, and that the Law of God was fulfilled through Christ.

The Law of God is a schoolmaster that drives us towards Christ, so that we may realize our exceedingly sinful condition; that we may fear, not man, but God, who has the power to cast the soul into hell, and that, the Lord, who is just, may grant us repentance and forgiveness of sins.

Jesus the Christ is the image if the invisible God and by Him all things were created, whether in Heaven or in Earth. He spoke the words of the Scriptures, the Bible, through men of faith; this was confirmed by the testimony of the apostles and the testimony of millions, whose lives have been changed by the power of the Gospel.

The Bible is God's written revelation to man. It is verbally inspired in every word, and absolutely inerrant in the original documents. We affirm the infallibility, sufficiency, and authority of Scriptures.

There is but one Living and true God, an infinite, all-knowing Spirit, perfect in all His attributes, one in essence, eternally existing in three Persons -- the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - each equally deserving worship and obedience.

The Bible teaches of the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.

The Bible teaches that the salvation of man, who is sinful and lost, is instantaneous and accomplished solely by the power of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the Word of God when the repentant sinner -- enabled by the Holy Spirit -- responds in faith. This salvation is wholly of God by grace on the basis of the redeeming work of Jesus Christ, the merit of His shed blood, and not on the basis of human merit or works. All the redeemed are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever.

The Bible teaches about the Spirit-filled life. As the supernatural and sovereign Agent in regeneration, the Holy Spirit baptizes all believers into the Body of Christ at the moment of salvation. The Holy Spirit also indwells, sanctifies, instructs, empowers them for service, and seals them unto the day of redemption.

The Bible teaches of the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; the saved unto the resurrection of life and the unsaved unto the resurrection of damnation.

The Bible teaches that all who put their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately placed by the Holy Spirit into one united spiritual Body, the church, of which Christ is the head.

The purpose of the church is to glorify God by building its members up in the faith, by instruction of the word, by fellowship, by keeping the ordinances, and communicating the gospel to the entire world. The formation of the church, the Body of Christ, began on the Day of Pentecost and will be completed at the coming of Christ for His own at the rapture.

The Bible teaches that it is by faith, through Christ, who strengthens us and through the Holy Spirit, that we are able to preach the Gospel, knowing that it is God’s work; whether we see results or not, we are commanded to preach the Gospel, by faith.

The hearing of the gospel does one of two things: It stands as condemnation on the Day of Judgment, for the amount of truth that has been preached to men, or, it sets men free from their sins and saves them from hell, granting them eternity with God.

We teach and preach these truths, as God commanded, and speak them, whether in the corporate Body or to the unsaved, no less and no more; not with the intent to offend, but with the intent to win souls to Christ. As the Bible teaches, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the Power of God, unto salvation, for everyone who believes.
