Articles of Faith

   WHAT WE BELIEVE

  • The pre-eminence of Christ as our Divine Lord and Master.
  • The supreme authority of the King James Bible and its sufficiency as our only rule of faith and practice.
  • The competency of the individual soul to approach God and to interpret the Word of God according to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
  • The absolute separation of Church and State, but obeying magistrates and governors in all secular matters that do not annul scriptural Christian responsibility.
  • A regenerate Church membership, based upon faith in Christ as God’s only way of Salvation.
  • The beautiful, symbolic ordinance of believer’s immersion in water as a picture of the salvation experience, a testimony of dying to self and the world, and spiritual submission to the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • The complete autonomy of the local congregation, but also its interdependence in associated fellowship with other Baptist Churches of like faith
  • We believe in that blessed hope – the personal, pre-millennial, pre-tribulational and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, when the church will be “gathered unto Him”
  • A world-wide program of missionary fervor and evangelism in accordance with Pauline ministry and doctrine.
