 ARTICLES OF FAITH AND DOCTRINE

1. We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God, and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.  We believe God has preserved His Word for us today in the King James Version, which will be exclusively used in all of our spiritual programs. 

2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

3.  We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true Man.

4.  We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and is the case of those who reach moral responsibility become so in thought, word, and deed.

5.  We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture, as a representative and substitute sacrifice; and that all that believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.

6.  We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven and in His present life there for us, as High Priest and Advocate.

7.  We believe in “that blessed hope,” the personal, pre-tribulational, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

8.  We believe that all who receive by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.

9.  We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.

10. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate 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.  (Gen. 2:24; Gen. 19:5, 13; Gen. 26:8-9; Lev. 18:1-30; Rom. 1:26-29; I Cor. 5:1; 6:9; I Thess. 4:1-8; Heb. 13:4)

11.  We believe that the only legitimate marriage is the joining of one man and one woman.  (Gen. 2:24; Rom. 7:2; I Cor. 7:10; Eph. 5:22-23)
