What We Believe

We affirm all 66 books of the Bible as the inerrant Word of God, and we use the King James Version as God's preserved Word for English-speaking people.

There is one God, eternally existing in three Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man in one Person. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and has always been without sin.

The Holy Spirit is a Person of the Godhead. He convicts the world of sin, and He regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals, and empowers all believers.

Because of the fall of Adam, every person inherits a nature inclined toward sin, and all who are capable of moral choice have sinned. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith, and not by any work of our own.

Salvation is entered by faith alone in Jesus Christ's finished work at Calvary — not by works. Faith in the gospel of grace places a person into the Body of Christ.

All who believe the gospel of grace are placed into the Body of Christ by faith in Christ's finished work — one spiritual baptism by the Holy Spirit, not a physical ordinance.

We teach right division between God's program with Old Testament Israel and His present program with the Church during this dispensation of grace.

We distinguish Old Testament prophecy concerning Israel from the mystery — the truth about the Church, the Body of Christ, once hidden and now revealed through the Apostle Paul (Romans 16:25).

We hold that the sign gifts of the earlier apostolic era — tongues, prophecy, and miraculous healing — have ceased in this dispensation. The Word of God remains our sufficient guide for faith and practice.

We believe in the pre-tribulation catching up (rapture) of the Church to meet Christ in the air, followed by His visible, pre-millennial return to reign on earth for a thousand years. Believers will be raised to everlasting glory; unbelievers to everlasting condemnation.
