Doctrinal Statement


1)   We Believe the Bible is the perfect Word of God. It is without error from beginning to end. God has preserved His Bible in many languages and it is evidently seen in the King James Version for all English speaking people. The King James Bible is without a doubt the inerrant Word of God. It is the only Bible that is historically, scientifically and prophetically correct.  We do not trust in visions, dreams or tongues. The Bible is our sole Authority for faith and practice.

2)  We believe that salvation is provided by Jesus Christ and Him alone. It is through his death, burial and resurrection that men are saved from sin. It is the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin. Works and religion cannot save in anyway. The gospel is the power of God unto Salvation. Furthermore, we believe that Christ died for all men and upon the conviction of the Holy Spirit, the repentance of the heart and the confession of the mouth men are Born-Again of God's Spirit. We reject such doctrines as baptismal regeneration, the keeping of the sacraments and are adamantly opposed to all tenants of Calvinism.

3)   We believe in the eternal salvation of all believers. Once a person trusts in Christ, they are forever kept by the power of God and can never be lost. Salvation is truly everlasting life; it is not just a decsion in time, but a decision for a lifetime! However, those who have trusted Christ are His children and will obey Him and His Word. We do not believe a person can live any way they so desire and be saved. The Bible dogmatically declares that a person will be a new creature in Christ.

4)     We oppose those who attack and change the Bible and it's teachings. We are an independent Baptist ministry that stands for the truths of God's Word. We will endeavor to reach all people with the gospel. We are strictly fundamental and stress the importance of sound doctrine. We are Biblical separatists.

5)     We believe and affirm that it is God who calls and equips men for the gospel ministry. The call to preach the Gospel is the highest and holiest calling in any man's life. God does not call the qualified, rather he qualifies those he calls.  We do believe that women certainly have a place of local church service, but it is not in the pulpit.

6)     We believe in the Bible doctrine of the Trinity. We believe in one God, co-existing in three persons: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It is the father who planned our salvation, his Son Jesus who provided our forgiveness and the Spirit of God who seals our state before God. Furthermore, at the moment of salvation we receive all of God's Spirit. We do not get more of God, rather we must surrender more of ourselves to him on a daily basis.

7)  We believe that the Local New Testament Church is God's ordained institution.  It is through individual bodies of believers that the Great Commission is carried on throughout the world.
