What We Believe

We are a Bible believing independent Baptist church that seeks to follow the Scriptures by witnessing to the lost and ministering to our fellow believers.

A summary of what we believe is given below:

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, preserved Word of God in the original manuscripts. We are a King James version preferred church.

God

God is holy (without sin), just (always does right), and infinite (no beginning and no end). He is one God in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He created the entire universe in six literal days. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and is the sinless Son of God.

Salvation

Salvation is by the grace of God, through faith, with no works of our own. Reconciliation (being made right) to God can only happen through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross, and His resurrection from the dead on the 3rd day.

The Church

Each church should be local and autonomous (runs itself), and not governed by a denomination. The members of the church are made up of saved and baptized (by full water immersion) believers. Its mission is to evangelize the lost, baptize new believers, disciple them, and teach them to do the same. There are two ordinances for the church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper (neither are necessary for salvation).

End Times

Jesus will return for His church (the Rapture) prior to the Tribulation time where the world will experience God’s wrath for 7 years. After that time, Jesus will bodily return to earth (the Second Coming) to set up His kingdom for 1,000 years. Following this time, Satan and the unsaved will be judged for eternity, and the saved will be in the presence of God for eternity.
