The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final source of all that we believe. We do believe, however, that the foregoing Statement of Faith accurately represents the teaching of the Bible and, therefore, is binding upon all members. All literature used in the church shall be in complete agreement with the Statement of Faith.

We believe that the local church, which is the body and the espoused bride of Christ, is solely made up of born-again baptized persons.

We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures.

We recognize water baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper as the Scriptural ordinances of obedience for the church in this age.

We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord. God commands His people to separate from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations, and to refrain from all immodest and immoderate appearances.

We believe in the blessed hope, the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture His church prior to the seven year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom which was promised to the nation of Israel.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.

We believe the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscious bliss they await the first resurrection, when spirit, soul, and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord.

We believe that the souls of unbeliever remain, after death, in conscious punishment and torment until the second resurrection, when with soul, and body reunited, they shall appear at the Great White Throne Judgment, and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire, not to be annihilated, but to suffer everlasting conscious punishment and torment.

We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin. That he is the open and declared enemy of God and man; and that he shall be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.

We believe that God created the universe in six literal, 24 hour periods. We reject evolution, the Gap Theory, the Day-Age Theory, and Theistic Evolution as unscriptural theories of origin.

We believe that God has ordained and created all authority consisting of three basic institutions: 1) the home, 2) the church, and 3) the state. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word. God has given each institution specific Biblical responsibilities and balanced those responsibilities with the understanding that no institution has the right to infringe upon the other. The home, the church, and the state are equal and sovereign in their respective biblically assigned spheres of responsibility under God.

We believe that God has commanded that no sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex. We believe that God disapproves of and forbids any attempt to alter one's gender by surgery or appearance.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we believe that the family is a holy institution, ordained and established by the Sovereign Triune God Who created heavens and earth. God's infallible revelation, the Bible, reveals that the family is an integral part of the unfolding of His eternal purpose for the redemption of sinners. This great and gracious salvation— purposed by the Father, accomplished by the Son, and applied by the Holy Spirit— is in great measure passed on to succeeding generations as the parents faithfully disciple the children God gives them. Therefore, the Biblical order and unity of the family are crucial to the stability and health of the church of Jesus Christ, in light of this, we recognize that the family and especially fathers— are the focus of a fierce and unrelenting attack by the world, the flesh, and the devil. This has escalated to the point that Christians must rise up in defense of the family in uncompromising Biblical warfare. Unfaithfulness to God's Word in our pulpits has produced a decline in Biblical Christianity and the dissolution of the family in our pews. The abdication of God's authority leads to unbiblical practices in the churches and the erosion of Biblical manhood and leadership. This in turn leads to the perversion of the role of women, the destruction of our children, and the collapse of our society. Traditions, which have originated in the minds of devils and fallen men, counterfeit God's authority. False doctrines derived from Darwinism, Marxism, Feminism, Secular Humanism, Psychology, and countless other unbiblical sources, have emerged from a society that has discarded Divine Revelation have contaminated or replaced God's standards in many professing churches of the Lord Jesus Christ. The bitter fruit of this is the fragmentation, not the unity of the family. We believe that the only resolution to this problem is repentance. We must confess our failures, reject the traditions of men, and wholeheartedly return to God's revelation for the establishment and nurture of the family in loving obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church. Our fervent prayer is that our God will raise up Spirit-filled and healthy family-integrated assemblies from the ashes.

We believe that men and women are spiritually equal in position before God but that God ordained distinct and separate spiritual functions for men and women in the home and in the church. The husband is to be the leader of the home, and men are to be leaders (elders and deacons) of the church. Accordingly, only men are eligible for ordination by the church.

We believe that God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. The husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the church. The wife is to submit herself to the Scriptural leadership of her husband as the church submits to the headship of Christ. Children are an heritage of the Lord. Parents are responsible for teaching their children spiritual and moral values and leading them, through consistent lifestyle example and appropriate Scriptural discipline.

We believe that our Heavenly Father designed His church to be a spiritual "family of families" where members know one another personally, the shepherds understand the sheep effectively, and the various members function interactively.

We believe that God intends both church and family to carry out evangelism and discipleship through multiple generations so— "that thou mightest fear the LORD the God, to keep all His statues and His commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged."

We believe that the saints of God are to be equipped for spiritual ministry and maturity primarily through family-based, one-on-one, heart-level relationships, and especially by preparing fathers to be the servant leaders in the family and church.

We believe that the church's relationships are nurtured primarily through daily discipleship in everyday life, especially fathers and mothers training their family and living out the gospel in the ministry to the saints and witness to the lost.
