All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine...That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (II Timothy 3:16-17)

In this age of tolerance, doctrine is often overlooked by experience or popular teachings of acceptance of diversity. However, this practice would mean that the one Person who would have no say in what we should believe is entirely left out. If we know that God exists and that He loves us, then we know He would want us to be with him in heaven. As important as that is to Him, then we must expect Him to communicate with us in a way we can be certain of what He says. He HAS so communicated with us through His Word, the Bible, from which we get His teachings, or doctrines.

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that me may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. (Titus 1:9)

We believe:

1. The Bible - Wholly given by inspiration of God and is best preserved in the King James translation.
2. God - In one triune God.
3. Jesus Christ - His deity, His humanity, virgin birth, shed blood for atonement of all.
4. Holy Spirit - His deity, His work to convict of sin, indwell, and empower us for service.
5. Creation - Entirely by the Word of God, not by any evolutionary process.
6. Man - By nature and choice are sinful and lost.
7. Salvation - A free gift received by grace through faith.
8. Satan - The deceiver and prince of this present world.
9. Future events - The imminent pre-trib rapture, the tribulation period, then the millennial reign of Christ on this earth.
10. Eternal state - Saved go to be with Christ in heaven and the lost to hell.
11. Fundamentalism - In preaching the whole counsel of God, we seek to expound all the truth, which will expose error and compromise.
