1. The Word of God:
We believe that the Bible, consisting of 39 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books, is the verbally and plenarily (extending equally and fully to all parts of the writings) inspired or God-breathed Word of God, His written revelation to man, recorded by selected men without error in the original writings, and that it is, therefore, the supreme and final authority in all matters of doctrine, faith, and life, and that there are no other writings similarly inspired by God. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21; 1 Cor. 2:13)

5. Plan of God:
6. The Eternal Security of Believers:

A. The Walk:
2. We believe that the basic conditions for the Spirit-controlled life are:
B. obedience to the Word of God known by the believer at that time. (1John 1:7-9)
B. Service:
2. We believe that every believer is to witness for the Lord Jesus Christ as directed by the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:8; 1 Pet. 3:15)
3. We believe that, apart from salvation, rewards are promised according to the faithfulness of each believer in his service for his Lord, and that these rewards will be bestowed at the judgment seat of Christ after He comes to receive His own to Himself. (1 Cor. 3:9-15; 9:18-27; 2 Cor. 5:10)
10. The Christian Home:
We believe that God has instituted the home as the primary means of rearing children and instructing them in the faith and that the quality of the home is instrumental in developing spiritual character. We are firmly committed to assisting people to fulfill their responsibilities as husband and wife, or as parents, but we believe that the primary responsibility for instructing children in the things of God rests in the home. (Eph. 6:4)
We believe that God has ordained the husband to be the head of the home, that wives are to be submissive to their husbands whether saved or unsaved and that children are to obey their parents. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the Church. (Eph. 5:21-33; 1 Pet. 3:1-7)
