Statement of Faith
The Word of God - We believe that the King James Bible, containing both the Old and the New Testaments, is the perfectly preserved and verbally inspired Word of God.  We believe that it cannot be corrected or improved on nor should be changed in any way. (Ps. 12:6-7 & Ps. 119:160)

The Deity of Christ - We believe in the Deity of Christ (John 10:30).  We believe in His virgin birth (Matt. 1:23); His sinless life (Heb. 4:15); His death on the cross for the sins of the world (Col. 1:14); His bodily resurrection (Mark 16:6); His place at the right hand of God. (Acts &:55-56)

The Godhead - We believe that God eternally exists in three persons - The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (1 John 5:7)

State of man - We believe that all men are sinners and need a personal Saviour, and without Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Hell separated from God. (Rom.3:23 & Rom.6:23 & John 3:36)

Salvation - We believe that the only way to be saved is through the repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:9-10).  We believe salvation is a free gift, only received as a free gift, and not of works (Eph. 2:8-9).  When a person gets saved they become a child of God (Rom. 8:15) and the Holy Spirit dwells in that child of God and teaches them and guides them in the way of life (John 16:13). 

Eternal Security - We believe in the eternally security of the believer. (Eph. 1:13 & Eph. 4:30) 

The Church - We believe that the local Baptist church should be independent and autonomous, and must be free from any ecclesiastical or political authority.  The local church is a company of professing, born-again believers in Jesus Christ.  We believe that we are committed for perpetual observance to the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper.

The Great Commission
- We believe the Great Commission is accomplished through sending and supporting of missionaries throughout the world. (Matt. 28:19-20)

Rapture
- We believe in the Pre-Tribulation Translation of the Body of Christ (1Thes. 4:16-17) and a Pre-Millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign on this earth for 1000 years (Rev. 20:1-6).
