THE WORD OF GOD
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God. It has been given to us by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Because the Scriptures are God-breathed, divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of Scripture in the original manuscripts. Every word has been given and superintended by God Himself and they are without error in every detail. We believe the Bible is the final revelation of the will of God to man and is the only perfect standard by which all human behavior, doctrine, faith, practice, and fellowship should be tried.
Furthermore, God has promised to preserve His Word perfectly free from loss or corruption throughout all generations. We believe specifically that the Authorized Version (King James Bible) is a correct English translation of the preserved original texts known as the Masoretic and Received Texts. We are committed to use only the King James Version for all church ministries including preaching and teaching at any and all levels of instruction. We support the direct translation of other language versions based upon those same preserved texts.

THE TRUE GOD
We believe that there is One, and only One, living and true God Who is an infinite, intelligent, perfect Spirit, and personal Being. This true God of the Bible is the Creator, Preserver, and Supreme Ruler of the universe and is inexpressibly glorious in His holiness and all other perfections. Jehovah God is all-powerful, all knowing, and everywhere present; He is without beginning or end. He is absolute in His holiness and the righteous Judge of all things. He is a God of great love and compassion, full of mercy and longsuffering. He is worthy of all possible honour, confidence, and love. In the unity of the Godhead there are three (3) divine Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are equal in every divine perfection and are united in carrying out distinct, but complementary roles in the great work of redemption.

THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is eternal and that He has always been and always will be God the Son. He fully possesses every attribute and character of God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. In the Sovereign plan of the Triune Godhead, Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, a virgin. Christ became fully man without, in any way, ceasing to be fully God. He was indeed, God manifest in the flesh and in Him dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. He lived a life wholly apart from sin, being perfect in all His ways and sinless. The Lord Jesus, through His voluntary death on the cross as our Substitute, made full and complete payment for the sin of the human race and satisfied the debt we owe to God for our sin. We believe that Jesus rose bodily from the dead on the third day, confirming God the Father’s satisfaction with Christ’s payment for sin and that He ascended bodily back to Heaven. We believe humanity’s constant tempter, a slanderer, a liar, and the father of lies. He is the determined enemy of God and of Christ; the accuser of believers; the author of all false religions; and the chief instigator behind the present apostasy. He is the dragon and controller of the anti-Christ and the author of all the powers of darkness. We believe Satan was defeated by God the Son on the cross and is destined for a final righteous judgment of eternal torment in the lake of fire, a place prepared for him and his angels.
