OUR FAITH
Our Principle Doctrines
We firmly believe in:
– The Bible as the inerrant, inspired word of God
– The deity of Jesus Christ and his virgin birth
– Jesus Christ’s substitutionary death on the cross, bodily resurrection, and imminent return
– The forgiveness of sin through faith in Christ only
– The need for obedience to the commands and principles of the Bible

Church Covenant
As we trust we have by divine grace been brought to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the influence of His Spirit to give ourselves up to Him, so we do now solemnly covenant with each other (as God shall enable us), to walk together in brotherly love;
-That we shall exercise a Christian care and watchfulness over each other, and faithfully warn, rebuke and admonish our brethren as the case may require;
-That we will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor omit the great duty of prayer, bother for ourselves and others;
-That we will participate in each other’s joys, and endeavor with tenderness and sympathy to bear each other’s burdens and sorrows;
-That we will seek divine aid to enable us to walk circumspectly and watchfully in the world, denying ungodliness and every worldly desire;
-That we will strive together for the support of a faithful and fundamental ministry among us, and to spread the gospel abroad;
-That we will, through life, amidst evil report and good report, seek to live to the glory of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.
