Statement of Faith
Jesus
The pre-eminence of Christ as our divine Lord and Saviour and in His personal return.
The Bible
The divine inspiration of the Bible, accepting in their entirety the writings of the Old and New Testaments in their original manuscripts, as the very Word of God; and therefore all-sufficient as the ultimate authority for Christian faith and practice.
The Godhead
One God, and only one, who is self-existent, eternal, and infinite in every excellence, and who has revealed Himself in the Trinity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the same in essence though distinct in personality.
Salvation
Receiving salvation through grace, that it is the free gift of God, through the death and resurrection of Christ, not by any virtue of works of man, but received only by personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Interpretation
The right of private interpretation and the competency of the individual soul in direct approach to God.
Church and State
The absolute separation of Church and State.
Baptism and the Lord's Supper
The two scriptural ordinances of baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, by believer’s baptism only, which we practice by immersion, and the Lord’s Supper as a memorial communion for the redeemed.
Local Church
The complete independence of the local church and its inter-dependence in associated fellowship with other Baptist churches.
Satan
The personality of Satan as the enemy of God and adversary of man.
Unity of Believers
The spiritual unity of all believers, for which the Master so earnestly prayed.
Missions
A world-wide program of missionary fervor and evangelism in obedience to the final command of Jesus.
