We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were written by men divinely inspired and that they are the only infallible rule of Faith and Practice.
That there is only one true and living God revealed to us at the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, the same in essence and equal in every divine perfection.
That man was created holy, innocent, and happy, but by the disobedience of one man Sin entered into the world and death by Sin, so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned.
That the only way of salvation is by grace through faith in the atonement and righteousness of Jesus Christ.
That it is the duty of all men to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
That nothing can separate true believers from the love of God, but that they will be kept by his power through faith unto salvation.
That Christian Baptism is administered only by the immersion of believers in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that immersed believers only are entitled to partake of the Lord’s Supper.
That there will be a general resurrection of the dead, and a general judgment when all mankind will be judged according to their deeds, that the wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal.
That the Christian ministry is a divinely appointed means for the spread of the Gospel throughout the world, and that it is the duty of all Christians according to ability to contribute to its support.

Church Ordinances
Church ordinances shall be administered by the Pastor, or by some other person designated by him or a person authorized by the Church, at such times as may be designated by the Pastor or the Church.
Church ordinances are:
- Believer’s Baptism – is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in a newness of life in the Christ Jesus.
- Communion (The Lords Supper) – is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of Christ, through partaking of the bread and fruit of the vine memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.
