Statement of Faith

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins according to the scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures (I Cor 15:1-8). Many, including the apostles, testified of seeing the risen Christ between His resurrection and ascension into heaven, during which time He showed himself alive by many infallible proofs (Acts 1:3).  By believing, we have life through His name (John 20:31; Acts 4:12).

We are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves.  It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).

We believe that the King James Bible is the preserved word of the living God given by inspiration of God, and that it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that we who believe may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (II Tim 3:16-17).

We are traditional independent Baptists with no formal affiliation to any institution outside the local church.  We encourage and have regular association with other local churches that preach the true gospel of salvation and that are otherwise likeminded in the faith of Christ and in the authority of the words of God as described above.
