What We Believe:

We believe that the HOLY BIBLE, containing both the Old & New Testaments was written by men divinely inspired; having God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error, for its matter; and therefore, is, and shall remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried.  The King James Authorized Version of 1611 is the official Bible version of this church.  (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Hebrews 4:12; Psalms 12:6-7)




We believe that there is one, and only one, living and TRUE GOD whose name is Jehovah, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth.  We believe that in the unity of the Godhead there are three Persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. (Genesis 1:1; 1 Samuel 2:2; 1 John 5:7)



Regarding the FALL OF MAN, we believe that man was created in holiness, under the law of his Creator; but by voluntary transgression fell from that holy and happy state; in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners; not by constraint but by choice; therefore, under just condemnation to eternal judgment.  (Genesis 1:27; 3:1-15; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 1:18; 3:23; 5:12)



We believe that SALVATION of sinners is wholly of grace; through the mediatorial office of the Son of God, by His death made full atonement for our sins; then having risen from the dead, He is now enthroned in heaven.  He is in every way qualified to be suitable, compassionate, and all-sufficient Saviour.  We believe that Christ was born of the virgin Mary, conceived of the Holy Ghost.  We further believe that salvation is by faith and not by any work of righteousness which we have done.  (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8,9)




We believe that such as are truly born again of the Holy Spirit shall never perish, but have everlasting life; that the believer is ETERNALLY SECURE unto the day of redemption.  (John 3:15-16; Romans 8:33-39; Ephesians 4:30;
1 John 5:10-13)



We believe that Christian BAPTISM is immersion in water of a believer in Christ to show forth his faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Saviour; that it is a prerequisite to the privileges of church membership, and to the Lord's Supper.  We believe that the LORD'S SUPPER is a provision of bread and the fruit of the vine, representing Christ's body and blood, partaken by born-again, scripturally baptized believers, in remembrance of the death of their Lord and Saviour, showing their faith and hope of the soon coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His own.  (Matthew 28:19; Acts 8:35-28; 1 Corinthians 11:23-24)




We believe that a NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing ordinances of Christ, governed by His law, and exercising the talents, responsibilities, and privileges invested in them by His word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth.  (Matthew 18:15-19; Acts 2:37-47; 1 Corinthians 12)
