"Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth"

                                                                -2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV)

• We believe in the sixty-six books of the Bible as the inspired Word of God (God-breathed), without error in the original autographs, and the only infallible guide to life (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
• We believe in God the Father. We believe in Jesus Christ the Son. We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe in God, the Three-in-One (1 John 5:7).
• We believe that man was created perfect for the purpose of walking with God.in fellowship. Being given a free will, man chose to disobey God, causing a separation between man and God. So through the one man sin entered the world, spreading to all men. All mankind is totally depraved. All people are sinners in need of a Savior (Romans 3:23).
• We believe in the saving grace of God. Being unable to save ourselves, God the Son left the glory of heaven and humbled Himself, being born as a man. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born a man, lived a sinless life but became sin, taking our sin upon Himself on the cross. He shed His blood and died for our forgiveness. He rose again the third day and ascended into heaven. Salvation comes by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).
• We believe in the church, the body of Christ. All who have trusted Christ for salvation are members of His body. The local church is the gathering of believers in keeping His command concerning "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25).
• We believe in the resurrection, of the saints to an eternity in heaven, and of the unrepentant sinners to an eternal hell-fire and separation from God (John 5:28-29).
