The Scriptures
1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the verbally inspired Word of God inerrant in the whole and in every part, the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith, practice, and understanding. We believe the King James Bible is authoritative because it is a faithful and accurate transmission of the Providentially Preserved Masoretic (OT) and Byzantine (NT) (TR) texts, and is therefore the verbal and formal equivalent of the Inspired Words which God has preserved for us, intact, for use in this day (II Pet. 1:21; II Tim. 3:16-17; Ps. 12:6-7; Matt 4:4; Matt 5:17-18; Matt 24:35)

God
2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:1; John 10:30; Matt 28:19; Acts 5:3-4; I Tim. 3:16; I John 5:7).

Creation
3. We believe in direct and instant creation, that it was not a process, but was completed in six literal days. We reject the Gap Theory, the Accommodation Theory, the Long Day Theory, or any other theory that tries to accommodate evolution and unbelieving science with the Word of God (Gen. 1&2; Heb. 11:3; John 1:3).

Jesus Christ and His Church
4. We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man, the Pre-eminent One, our divine Lord and Master, who is the Head of His church, which alone is the repository of the Great Commission. Any ministry that exists apart from the Local New Testament Church, exists apart from the will of God. Any ministry, for it to be Biblical, must be under the authority of a Local Church, and that Local Church's Pastor. This understanding of the primacy of the local church does not rule out the existence of Christian business's or other service organizations that may be Christian in belief and practice, but are not a ministry per see. This ministry belongs to God, who has appointed trustworthy men to act as stewards of His work. (Isa. 7:14; Matt 1:18-25; Col. 2:9; John 1:1).

Man
5. We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are now sinners by birth and by choice, positively inclined to evil and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin without defense or excuse (Gen. 2:17; Rom 5:12-21; Ps.. 58:3; I Cor. 2:14; Rom 1:20; Gen. 1:26- 27).

Salvation
6. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. We also believe in the right of every individual soul to come directly to the throne of God, and in the Priesthood of every believer. We believe in and support a world-wide program of missionary fervor and evangelism in obedience to the final command of Christ (I Cor. 15:4; II Cor. 5:21; I Pet. 2:24; Rom 5:9; I Pet. 1:18-19; Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:18-20).

Second Coming
7. We believe in the personal, bodily, pretribulational, premillennial, and imminent return of Christ (II Thess. 2:1-17; John 14:1-3; Matt 24:44).

Eternal Security
8. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ and are born again of the Holy Spirit are thereby the children of God, and we strongly affirm the eternal security of the born-again believer in Christ (John 3:3; Gal. 3:24-26; I John 5:13; II Tim. 1:12).

Baptism
9. We believe that immersion is the only form of baptism revealed in the Scriptures, that it has no saving power, but is only for those who are already saved; and that the new birth, which comes through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is the Biblical prerequisite for baptism, and baptism is the prerequisite for church membership (Acts 2:38; Rom 6:3-5).

Church Officers and Government
10. We believe that the Bible teaches that the following are the only offices of the church, and should be held by men only: Pastor (including assistants), and Deacons. We also believe in the complete independence and autonomy of the local church and in the Biblical obligation of congregational government through Pastoral leadership (I Tim. 2:12; Acts 15; Acts 13:2-4; I Tim. 5:17; Heb. 13:17).

Separation
11. We believe that all the saved are called into a life of separation. This separation is in at least four areas: moral, personal, ecclesiastical, and political.

Moral
a. Moral: The Old Testament Moral Law is God's perfect standard for a perfect man. We are commanded to perfect holiness in the fear of God. The Law directs us to Christ for Salvation and Christ directs us back to the Law for Regulation, thus, Holy living is required of every member of this church (Gal. 3:24; II Cor. 7:1).

Personal
b. Personal: We believe the Bible teaches old fashioned standards of personal separation. We refrain from smoking, drinking, attending worldly amusements, dressing in immodest or inappropriate clothing, and listening to worldly music, including much of what is now called "contemporary Christian" (II Cor. 6:17; Rom. 12:2; Col. 1:10; I Cor. 10:31; 14:8).

Ecclesiastical
c. Ecclesiastical: While recognizing the unity of all true believers in Christ, it is also evident that unbelief and error in many organized fellowships have developed to the point where recognized and indisputable apostasy exists. We therefore disavow the position of the World Council of Churches, the National Association of Evangelicals, and any other association or fellowship that would be in sympathy with them. We stand in opposition to the Ecumenical Movement, Neo-Orthodoxy, New Evangelicalism, and Cooperative Evangelistic programs between churches and people not of like precious faith and practice (II Cor. 6:14-18; Eph. 5:11-12; Luke 12:51).

Political
d. Political: The separation of church and state. We believe that God created government, and that as a creation of God, it is our duty to honor our Government, and those who govern over us. However, if our government ever demands that we do that which is contrary to our understanding of the teaching of our faith, we are commanded by God to obey Him. As we are accountable to a higher authority than mere men, if we must choose, we will obey God rather than men (John 24:15; Acts 5:9).

The Gifts of Healing and Tongues
12. We believe that the healing and tongues movement of today is unscriptural and contrary to sound doctrine and that those who believe and practice these are in error. This includes the so-called Neo-Pentecostal movement that has now spread among Roman Catholics and others. We believe when the Bible says, "tongues shall cease" (I Cor. 13:11) they have. We do not believe that tongues are a sign to the believer, but to the unbeliever (I Cor. 14:22). We believe that the practice of so-called unknown tongues causes confusion, and God is not the author of confusion (I Cor. 14:33). We believe that in the church of Jesus Christ all things should be done decently and in order, and the practice of so-called tongues brings disorder (I Cor. 14:40).
