The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and the
final authority in faith and practice.
There is only One God, eternally existing in
three persons of equal power and glory: the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
Man was made in innocence as the highest
creation of God. Man voluntarily sinned with the result being that all
men are now sinners by nature and choice. All men are therefore unable
to please God and are under His just condemnation to an eternal
punishment in hell.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His
virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death for sinners,
and His bodily resurrection.
Salvation from sin and its consequences is by
free and sovereign grace of God, through faith alone. It is completely
undeserved and cannot be obtained by any human merit.
All who repent of their sin and believe in
Christ are forgiven, indwelt by the Holy Spirit at conversion, enabled
to live a life pleasing to God, and are assured of eternal life.
The blessed hope of every Christian is the
personal, visible, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ to judge
the world on the last day. All men will experience bodily resurrection.
The saved will go to everlasting life and the unsaved to everlasting
punishment.
The doctrinal basis of our church is the 1689
London Baptist Confession of Faith. We believe that this is an
excellent, though not inspired, expression of the teaching of the Holy
Scriptures by which all confessions are to be measured.
