1. The Bible -Gen 5:1, Ex. 17:14, Ex 19:5-6, Ex 24:1-8, Ex 34: 27-28,Deut 17:18-9, Ps 1:1-2, Ps 119, Is 30:8, Jer 30:2-4, Heb 2:1-4, Matt 5:17-20, Matt 22:29-33, John 14:25-26, John 16:12-15, John 17: 17, Luke 1:1-4, Luke 24:27, 44-45, Rom 15:4, 1Cor 2:9-13, 1 Cor 10:6-11, 2 Tim 3:16-17, Rev 22:18-19.

   The sole basis of all our beliefs is the BIBLE composed of the 66 books of the Old and New Testament. We believe that God Himself is the Ultimate Author of the Bible, although He used men with varying personal, historical & cultural backgrounds to communicate His thoughts and desires. We believe the Bible both claims and demonstrates that it is the one and only UNIQUELY INSPIRED, inerrant, infallible, and totally sufficient Word of God, free from all error in all matters: theological, historical, social, moral, and scientific.

2. God - Gen 1:1, Gen 1:26, Gen 3:22, Deut 6:4-5, Ex 3:4-6, Ex 19:3-6,Ex 20:1-20, 1 Sam 12:6-7, Ps 7:9-11, Ps 11:7, Deut 32:1-4, John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:7-10, John 1:1-3, John 1:14-18, Matt 3:13-17, Matt 16:13-20, Matt 28:18-19, John 3:31-36, John 5:18-24, John 8:42-59, John 10:14-30, John 14:6-20, Acts 5:1-6, Rom 8:3-11, 2 Cor 3:17-18, 2 Cor 13:14, Gal 1:3-5, 1 Thes. 1:1, Heb 1:1-3

   We believe that there is only one true God, who has revealed Himself in the Bible to be a perfectly Holy, Righteous, Just, and Loving God. He has also revealed Himself, (in both the Bible and the space, time, and matter Universe He created) to be eternally self existent as ONE GOD in THREE PERSONS --- God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit --- THE HOLY TRINITY.

3. JESUS CHRIST -Matt 1:1-4:17, Mark 1:1-15, Luke 1:26-80, John 1:1-51, John 3:1-35, Luke 24:27, Luke 24:44-47, Matt 16:13-20, Matt 28:18-19, Gal 4:4-5, Eph 1:22-23, Eph 3:7-12, Heb 1:1-14, Heb 2:1-9, Heb 2:17-18, Heb 4:14-16, Heb 10:1-18, 1 Cor 1:20-25, Acts 3:17-26, Rom 5:6-21, Acts 15:12-19, Matt 8:10-12, 1 John 2:2, 2 Cor 5:21, John 20: 30-31, Acts 2:22-36, Matt 4:24, 1 Cor 15:1-8, John 14:1-3, Acts 1:1-11

   We believe that through the Miracle of the Incarnation The Second Person of the Trinity - - - GOD THE SON - - - - - - became a human being in the historical person of Jesus Christ. We believe that every purpose, promise, and prophecy of God's Eternal Plan of Salvation has been finally and completely fulfilled in Him. We believe His Work and Role as the SAVIOR OF THE WORLD includes, fulfills and replaces his Work and Role as The Promised Messiah of the Old Testament. We believe in His Virgin Birth, His Divinity, His Humanity, His Sinless Life, His Miracles, His Atoning Death for Sin on the Cross, His Bodily Resurrection, His Ascension, and His Future Physical Second Coming.

4. HOLY SPIRIT - Gen 1:1-3, Gen 1:26, 1 Sam 16:13, Is 61:1, Ezek 36:26-27, , John 3:34-36, John 14:15-19, John 14:25-29, John 16:12-15, Acts 2:36-42, 2 Cor 3:15-18, Acts 5:3-4, Acts 1:1-8, Rom 8:1-17, 2 Tim 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Phil 2:12-13, 2 Peter 1:3-11, 1 Thes 2:13, 2 Thes 2:13-15

   We believe the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of The Holy Trinity. At the moment of genuine repentance and commitment to Christ EVERY believer is spiritually regenerated (Born Again) and receives The Gift of a personal relationship with God through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Personally present in the believer's life because of the Work of Christ, the Holy Spirit immediately begins His progressive work of transforming us into the image of Christ through the Word of God. Through the Bible, which He inspired, the Holy Spirit counsels, convinces, confronts, convicts, comforts and conforms our lives to increasingly reflect the character and obedience of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

5. CREATION - Genesis 1:1-31, Job 38:1-7, Is 42:5, Psalm 19:1-6, Psalm 89:11-12, Psalm 90:1-2, Psalm 104, Psalm 119:89-91, Matthew 5:17-20, Matthew 19:1-6, John 1:1-3, Romans 5:12-14, Hebrew 1:1-3, Revelation 4:11, Revelation 5:9-10

   We believe God SUPERNATURALLY created the physical universe in 6 literal 24 hour days as historically described in the Book of Genesis and verified by unbiased, scientific investigation. The Bible presents the Doctrines of CREATION and SALVATION as mutually requisite fundamental Biblical Truths. Without Creation God has no authority over man, and without Salvation Man has no access to or acceptability before God.

6. SALVATION - Genesis 1-3, Genesis 6:5-22, Psalm 14:1-3, Jeremiah 17:9, John 1:1-18, John 3:1-36, John 4:22-26, John 5:39-40, John 6:47-53, Rm 3:10-20, Rom 5:1-21,Romans 8:6-7, Ephesians 2:1-3, 1 John 2:1-6

   We believe that as a consequence of Adam and Eve's ORIGINAL SIN in the Garden of Eden we are all born with a Sinful Nature or spiritually dead and rebellious. This Sinful Nature leads us to personally Sin against God and places us under His Holy and Righteous Judgment. The Substitutionary Death of Jesus on the Cross however, has made it possible for ANYONE who will receive and obey Him as Lord and Savior to be spiritually BORN AGAIN, to be forgiven of all their Sins, and to grow in the Grace and Knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

7. HOLY LIVING - Ex 3:4-6, Ex 19:5-6, 1 Peter 1:13-19, 1 Peter 2:9-16, Heb 12:1-17, Rom 8:1-8, Eph 2:1-10, Eph 4:17-5:20, Titus 2:11-15, 1 John 1:5-2:6, I John 3:4-10, James 2:14-26, Rom 12:1-2, Phil 2:1-13, 2 Peter 1:1-11, 2 Tim 3:16-17

   We believe Holy Living is the Ultimate Purpose of Christ's Death on the Cross. Therefore, we believe God calls EVERY believer to a lifestyle of continual growth in the grace and knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the Holy Spirit's work of Progressive Sanctification, God implores, empowers, and enables us to live increasingly Holy and Obedient lives. The ongoing process of Progressive Sanctification is the Biblical Evidence of genuine Salvation.

8. THE CHURCH - Matt 16:13-19, Acts 2:41-47, Acts 9:31, 1 Cor 12:12-27, Eph 1:15-23, Eph 3:4-12, Eph 4:4-16, Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5-9, 1 Tim 3:1-7,1 Tim 4:6-16, Matt 18:15-20, Heb 13:7, 17

   We believe that through SALVATION, (Spiritual Birth), all genuine believers are placed by God into the Spiritual Body called The Body of Christ or THE CHURCH. The Church is composed of numerous groups of individual believers meeting together in locally identifiable churches for the purpose of Worship, Prayer, Ministry, Evangelism, Training and Fellowship. We believe God's Eternal Plans and Purposes for His People are realized through The Church. God has given Pastors and Elders the responsibility to oversee the teaching, worship, leadership, ministry and discipline within The Church

9. The 2^nd Coming - John 14:1-6, Heb 9:27-28, 1 Cor 15:12-24, Matt 23:37-25:46, 1 Cor 15:42-53, 1 Thes 4:13-5:2, Rev 21:1-8, Acts 1:7-8, Matt.24:36, Matt. 24:11, 23-36 Mk.13:22, Acts 20:29, 2Thess. 2:9-10, 2Tim4:3-5, 1John 4:1, Deut. 13:1-5, Deut. 18: 19-22.

   We believe in the personal, visible, physical, and undeniable SECOND COMING of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe His Second Coming will IMMEDIATELY bring The Transformation of Living Believers, the Resurrection of the Dead, The Final Judgment, and the establishment of a Redeemed and Restored New Eternal Universe. We believe the TIMING of the Second Coming is UNKNOWABLE to man. We believe the Bible warns against false prophets, end time predictions, and signs, wonders and miracles.

10. Sacraments and Ordinances - Matt 3:13-16, Matt 28:18-20, Acts 2:37-39, Rom 6:1-4, Matt 26:17-29, Mark 14:12-25, Luke 22:1-23, 1 Cor 11:23-32, John 13:1-30.
