Independent
We are a
truly independent church, as were all the churches of the New Testament. We
are not affiliated with any man-made external organization be it a
Convention, Association, Fellowship or Mission Board. Our only Head is the
Lord Jesus Christ and our only headquarters is in heaven. We fellowship with
sister churches of like precious faith and practice, and support
missionaries sent forth by the authority of such churches.
Fundamental
We affirm without apology the doctrines
frequently identified as the “Fundamentals of the Faith,” which include the
deity, virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily
resurrection, and imminent return of Jesus Christ. We reject, however, the
prevalent concept that other doctrines clearly taught in God’s Word are
“non-essentials.” Christ said:“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these
least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in
the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 5:19)
Separated
We believe that Christians should
bring forth the fruits of salvation in their lives and that their
relationships with Christ should affect every aspect of their lives: the
clothes they wear, the language they use, the activities they participate
in, the places they frequent, and even the jobs they hold. Christians should
seek to separate themselves from evil of every sort.
Church
We believe that the
local church is a group of believers baptized in water; assembled together
for edification, exhortation, and evangelism as commanded by Christ in the
Great Commission; preaching the gospel to every creature. We believe God's
program today is centered in the local New Testament church, which is
independent and missionary minded.
King James Bible
We
believe in the verbal plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. We believe
that God has preserved His very words in the transmission of His Word as
found in the Greek Textus Receptus and the Hebrew Masoretic Text. We
believe, and know, that the Bible as we have it today, in the King James
Version, and only the King James Version, is the true,
holy, and perfect Word of God!
