Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible, both the Old and New Testament, to be verbally inspired by God and preserved in the Authorized Version of 1611 commonly known as the King James Bible.
(Ps. 12: 6-7, II Tim. 3:16, II Pet.1:21)
We believe Jesus Christ to be God the Son manifest in the flesh to take away the sins of the world and to be the only Saviour of mankind.
(John 1:1, 29, Matthew 1:21)
We believe in the inherited sin of mankind because of the fall of Adam. Therefore, man is dead in trespasses and sin and cannot save himself.
(Ephesians 2:1-8, Romans 3:10-23, 6:23, Genesis 1:26-27)
We believe a man must be born again by the Spirit of God to have eternal life by placing complete faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
(John 3:3-16, Romans 10:9-13, Ephesians 1:13)
We believe repentance is necessary for the salvation of sinners as a work of grace upon the heart by the Spirit of God.
II Timothy 2:25 “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.”
(Acts 20:21, Luke 13: 3)
We believe the church to be a visible body of scripturally Baptized believers in a certain locality for the purpose of carrying out the Great Commission. It is a Baptist church, of which it’s doctrine can be traced back to Christ Himself before Pentecost.
(Matthew 16:18, 18:16-18, 28:19-20, Mark 3:14,
I Corinthians 12:28)
We believe in the pre-millennial, pre-tribulation return of the Lord Jesus. His coming is in 2 parts:
He will come at any moment for His saints at the rapture before the tribulation.
(I Thess. 4:13-18)
Seven years later at the end of the tribulation, He will come with His Saints at the revelation.
(Jude 1:14-15)
