 Gospel
Truths
- We believe in one true and
living God; Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost, and these three are one.
- We believe that the Scriptures
of the Old and New Testaments were
written by the inspiration of God
and have been preserved. We
believe that the New Testament is
the rule of faith and practice for
the saints in the gospel age.
- We believe that all men are
accountable to God, but that in
the transgression of Adam, he and
all his posterity fell under the
just condemnation of God, and were
rendered both unable and unwilling
to have faith in, seek after, or
love God, until regenerated by the
new birth.
- We believe that God the Father
before the foundation of the world
unconditionally chose specific
people unto everlasting life.
- We believe the historical Jesus
was God's Eternal Son come to
earth. We believe that being
conceived in a virgin by the Holy
Ghost he was holy and without sin
and that he was, is, and always
will be both fully man and fully
God.
- We believe Jesus Christ
suffered, died and arose on behalf
of the elect only, and that they
are justified in the sight of God
by the imputed righteousness of
Christ.
- We believe that between
conception and death, without the
exercise of their will, the elect
are regenerated by God's
efficacious grace.
- We believe the chosen are
preserved in Jesus Christ, and not
one shall be eternally lost.
- We believe that Jesus Christ
shall come again in all his glory,
and that the resurrected bodies of
all mankind will be joined with
their spirits. We believe
that both the joys of the
righteous in being with their
Lord, and suffering of the wicked
being punished in fire, will be
eternal.
Church
Truths
- We believe that Baptism and the
Lord's Supper are gospel
ordinances to be observed by
believers in a church capacity.
We believe that baptism is by
immersion and to be administered
only to believers who give
evidence of having been
regenerated.
- We believe that fellowship in
gospel church ordinances is based
upon fellowship in gospel truths
believed.
- We believe that those who
confess Christ by baptism covenant
to live to God's glory and the
edification of one another in the
local church. We believe
this includes assembling for
public worship, personal
exercising unto godliness, and
nurturing of home devotion.
- We believe in first fruit giving
in proportion to God's prospering
that it may be used to support the
pastor, help the needy, and pay
church expenses.
- We believe in church
discipline exercised in the spirit
of meekness. We believe its
pursuit is for the glory of God
and the recovery of the ensnared.
