This church receives the Scriptures as the verbal and plenary inspired Word of God, and as the sole authority in matters of faith and practice. Its understanding of Christian truth as therein contained is expressed by the following Declaration of Faith: 1. We believe that the Bible is Gods inspired Word; that it was written by men divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit; and that it is the inerrant and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. 2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3. We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power. We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. 4. We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal and only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, of virgin birth, sinless in His life; making full atonement for the sins of the world by His death through His shed blood. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension, pretribulation rapture of the church, and visible pre-millennial return to the world according to His promise. 5. We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from God to convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ. 6. We believe that all men by nature and by choice are sinners, but that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." We believe, therefore, that those who personally receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in Gods presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God. 7. We believe in the Church A living, spiritual body of which Christ is the Head, and of which all regenerated people are members. We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, immersed on a credible confession of faith and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that to these visible churches were committed, for perpetual observance, the ordinances of Baptism and the Lords Supper, and that God has laid upon these churches the task of urging a lost world to personally receive Jesus Christ as Savior, and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that all human betterment and social improvements are the inevitable byproducts of such a gospel.
