What we believe:
This congregation accepts the Bible as its absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth. We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell, and that Satan is a person. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead. We believe in the autonomy of the local church, in baptism by immersion, and in the celebration of the Lord's Supper by all obedient believers. We are a fundamental, separated, missionary minded group of Bible-believing Christians, striving to maintain a balanced, Spirit-filled life.
