We believe there is one eternally existing God who exists in three distinct persons:God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory, honor, and praise.
God is perfect inlove, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchanging and remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Revelation
We believe that God has revealed Himself to mankind throughJesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, throughthe Holy Scriptures, and throughHis creation, which testifies to His power and glory.
The Bible
We believe that the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings. God breathed out every word (2 Timothy 3:16). We believe God has preserved His word in:
TheTraditional Masoretic Hebrew Textfor the Old Testament
TheTraditional Received Greek Text (Textus Receptus)for the New Testament
These texts underlie theKing James Version of the Bible.
We believe that theKing James Version (Authorized Version)of the English Bible is a true, faithful, and accurate translation of these providentially preserved texts. In our time, it has no equal among English translations.
The translators completed their work with such care that we can confidently hold up the Authorized Version of 1611 and say,“This is the Word of God.”At the same time, in certain passages we may refer to the underlying original language texts and compare Scripture with Scripture for complete clarity.
Mankind
We believe that mankind was created by God inHis imagefor His glory. God created humanitymale and female, and the first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of God’s creation.
The Fall
We believe that when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, sin entered the world. As a result, mankind became fallen and separated from fellowship with God. This fall affected all of creation and distorted the image of God in humanity.
Salvation
We believe thatJesus Christ came to reconcile mankind to God. He lived a sinless life and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and through Him, salvation is offered as a free gift.
ByGod’s grace, all who place their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Salvation is foundin Christ alone.
The Church
We believe that the Church is thevisible body of Christin the world. The mission of the Church is to glorify God, proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and make disciples.
The Resurrection and Christ’s Return
We believe thatJesus Christ will return again. He will judge both the living and the dead and will bring about the full establishment of God's kingdom.
