We Believe...

1. God the Father, Jesus Christ - the Virgin Born Son of God, and Holy Spirit, our Comforter (Matthew 28:19, 20; Galatians 4:4-6; Ephesians 2:13-18; I John 5:1-13) (Luke 1:35; Matthew 1:1, 20-25) (Acts 1:8; 5:3, 4).
2. That the Bible is wholly inspired by God and is the final authority in the daily life of the believer (We use the King James Version - II Samuel 23:3; Psalm 119:160; II Timothy 3:16).
3. That God created all things, and by His power preserves His creation,  i.e. the giving and taking of life, promoting and demoting of authority, making poor and enriching all mankind according to His divine providence (Deuteronomy 32:39; Colossians 1:16, 17; I Samuel 2:6-10).
4. That the first man and woman were created pure and without sin but through unbelief and disobedience, fell and that sin, sorrow, and death, both natural and spiritual, are results of the fall, but that we have a choice to live holy or live sinfully (Romans 5:12) (Genesis 1:27) (Genesis 2:17; 3:16-23).
5. That Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation from sin and begins with a decision to turn from sin to new life in Christ but continues in our daily walk with Christ, totally committed in all aspects of life (John 3:16; Hebrews 9:14-26; Luke 18:8-9; John 3:3,5; Romans 6:1-7, II Corinthians 5:17; Matthew 3:8; II Corinthians 7:10).
6. That all those who are born again and who are obedient to God by living in the fear of God, constitute the true church of which Christ is the Head. (Romans 6:17; Colossians 1:18; Hebrews 5:9).
7. That self-denial and humility are essential to Christian discipleship (Luke 9:23; I Peter 5:5, 6).
8. That God provides the church with necessary leaders such as bishops, elders, ministers, evangelists, and deacons That these leaders are humble servants of God, leading by example, “not for hire,” not as “lords or dictators,” and should live by complete faith and trust in the Lord (I Peter 5:3; Matthew 20:25-26; Ephesians 4:11-16; I Timothy 3:1-13).
9. That Christian baptism is commanded representing the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ as one is buried in the likeness of His death and raised to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19,20; Acts 1:5; 2:2; 16-18,41; 10:44-48, Romans 6:4).
10. That the bread and cup in the Lord’s Supper are symbols of the body and blood of Christ, and is an ordinance observed in remembrance of Christ’s death, as He commanded to show a common union of believers with Christ and with one another, limiting this ordinance to members of the body of Christ (I Corinthians 10:16-21; 11:23-26).
11. That Scripture commands separation of the believer from the world, the flesh, and apostate brethren (I John 2:15-17; II Corinthians 6:14; Ephesians 5:7, 11; Amos 3:3; Psalms 1:1; II Thessalonians 3:6, 14).
12. That men are to provide for their wives and children; work six days a week as unto the Lord in an occupation that would glorify God, not promoting this world, the flesh, or the devil (II Thessalonians 3:10; I Thessalonians 4:11; Genesis 3:19; I Timothy 5:8; Exodus 20:9; Deuteronomy 5:13; I John 2:15-17).
13. That Christian women should be keepers at home (not to work secular jobs) and be trained “…to be sober (serious-minded), to love their husbands (do what is best for him), to love their children (Proverbs 22:6), to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home (not under the authority of anyone but her husband), good, obedient to their own husbands (I Peter 3:1), that the word of God be not blasphemed (Titus 2:4-5; I Timothy 5:14; Genesis 3:16)."
14. That God “…in the beginning made them male and female…” a distinct difference between man and woman. That although they are joint heirs with Christ, they have different roles, actions, and dress as to not combine the two in “unisex” clothing, which would include a godly covering and not cutting the hair of a godly sister, her not wearing man’s apparel, and not “effeminizing” a godly man and That the personal appearance of Christian men and women should be simple and modest, free from worldly fashion and adornment (II Corinthians 6:17; I Timothy 2:8-10; I Peter 1:14, 15; 3:3, 4; I Corinthians 6:9; Deuteronomy 22:5;  I Corinthians 11:1-16).
15. That anointing with oil, accompanied by faithful prayer, is a symbol which God honors in the restoration of physical health (James 5:14, 15).
16. That as pilgrims and strangers in the world, Christians will seek to maintain simplicity in all areas of life as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven and Christian loves requires that believers should not take part in any destruction of human life, nor in any acts of personal retaliation or revenge(Matthew  5:38-48; 6:33; II Corinthians 10:3,4; Hebrews 11:13).
17. That church (Kingdom of God) and government are both ordained of God, but are separated entities in His plan and as citizens of heaven godly men are not to be entangled in the affairs of this life nor compromise their holiness by holding positions of authority or defense in this world (Romans 13:1-7; I Peter 2:13-17; II Timothy 2:4).
18. That obstinate sinners within the church should be excommunicated (I Corinthians 5:11-13; II Thessalonians 3:6, 14).
19. That the church is commanded to evangelize the world; that her primary mission is to deal with that which is spiritual and eternal (Matthew 28:19, 20; Matthew 9:13).
20. That the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (at the last trump) Christ will raise the righteous to everlasting life in the New Jerusalem, and the unrighteous to eternal damnation in the lake of fire (Matthew 25:46; Luke 14:14; John 5:2, 29; Revelation 20:13, 14)and is the blessed hope of believers (Acts 1:11; John 14:2, 3; Matthew 24:44; I Thessalonians 4:13-18).
