  • We believe in one God, The Father, The Son, and Holy Spirit \u2013\u00a0Three persons, yet one God, whose name is Jehovah.<\/li>
  • We believe in the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, who is none other than God the Son manifest in the flesh, and in whom all fullness of the Godhead dwell forever.<\/li>
  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only head of the church; that all believers are equally priest unto God; that ordination, while it recognizes position, bestows no power; that the local church is independent and sovereign.<\/li>
  • We believe that all men are sinners needing a Savior; that salvation is only and altogether through simple faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, faith always accompanied by works meet repentance, and that without such faith there can be no salvation here or hereafter.<\/li>
  • We believe in unbroken conscious existence after death determined by life before death; in the personal second coming of Christ to judge the world; in the resurrection of the body which for those who die in the Lord shall be like Christ\u2019s glorious body; in the eternal weal of the saved and the eternal woe of the lost.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    • We stand for the Bible.\u00a0 It is their law, their creed, and their final authority in all matters relating to faith and practice.<\/li>
    • We stand for regeneration or \u201cthe birth from above\u201d as basis of church membership.<\/li>
    • We stand for believer\u2019s baptism, the immersion of the believers in obedience to Christ\u2019s command, as a symbol of the death to the old life and the resurrection to the new.<\/li>
    • We stand for the separation of church and State, and for the largest measure of civil and religious liberty.<\/li>
    • We stand for education, evangelism, and world-wide missionary endeavor.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
