Who We Are and What We Believe


We are an Independent Fundamental Bible Church.  We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. We proclaim it and explain it, applying its unchanging principles to the pressing problems of modern life, exalting its central figure, the Lord Jesus Christ, and endeavor to make careful and consistent Bible teaching the major emphasis in our program.  

Brief Doctrinal Statement

We Believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original manuscripts and authoritative for daily living. We believe that there is one God eternally existent, in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death for our sins, His bodily resurrection, and His second coming.

We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by practice, are sentenced to eternal separation from God, and are in need of personal regeneration by faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who have so trusted Christ as their Savior are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God and enabled to live a godly life through submission to Him.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the saved unto eternal life and the lost unto eternal judgment. It is our sincere desire and prayer that you may experience the assurance of forgiveness and life that comes to those who have trusted the Savior. If you have some questions about your relationship to Christ, we encourage you to contact us.

We believe that this Bible teaching ministry can best be adapted to the spiritual needs of our community apart from any denominational controls. For this reason, we are an independent church. Our congregation owns its own property, controls its own finances, call it's own pastors, selects and supports its own missionaries, and chooses its own Bible-centered literature.

Because it is the believer's privilege and duty to carry the gospel to others, we are an evangelistic and missionary church. We are encouraged to share the good news of eternal life in Christ personally with those around us.

In addition to that, we support a steadily expanding world missionary program which includes diversified means of outreach in various parts of the globe. Personalized praying and systematic giving help to involve us individually in this task of world-wide missions.
