MISSION STATEMENT

COMMITTED TO PROVIDE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, WITH A CARING FACULTY, IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, WHILE GLORIFYING GOD

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Bible to be verbally inspired by God in its original writings, that it is truth without any mixture of error and is our sole rule of faith and practice for believers. (II Timothy 3:16)

We believe there is only one true God, existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  These three are co-eternal and co-equal from all eternity, each with distinct personalities but of one essence. (John 14, 15, 16)

We believe that Adam was created in holiness in the image of God, but by voluntary transgressions fell, and thus the whole race is now sinful by nature and practice; and therefore, under just condemnation to eternal separation from God. (Romans 5:12)

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God Who entered into the world through the virgin birth, living among us without sin as perfect man and perfect God. (Matthew 1:23, Hebrews 4:15)

We believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood on Calvary as a vicarious substitute for all sinners, and that He was buried and rose again bodily and ascended to the right hand of the Father.  He will personally return to rapture His church before the seven years of great Tribulation followed by His pre-millennial return to earth to establish His Kingdom according to the Scriptures. (II Corinthians 5:21, Luke 24:46-51, Revelation 1:7)

We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts sinners, regenerates, sanctifies, indwells the believer, and fills him for effective service. (John 16:7-13)

We believe that men are born again by the Holy Spirit as they repent and believe the gospel message.  We believe that they are justified by grace through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ without any mixture of works. (John 1:12, Ephesians 2:8,9)

We believe in the priesthood of the believer and that God has made provision for each believer to be victorious by being led of the Spirit and by not walking after the flesh. (Hebrews 4:14-16, Romans 8:11)

We believe in the eternal security of the believer and that he is guaranteed eternal life and a resurrected glorified body at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (John 10:29, I Corinthians 15:51-54)

We believe that a New Testament church is an autonomous local group of believers baptized by immersion and actively engaged in fulfilling the Great Commission.  We believe that baptism and the Lord’s Supper constitute the only two ordinances of the Church. (Matthew 28:18-20, I Corinthians 10:16,17)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost–the saved unto the resurrection of life eternal and the lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation. (Romans 8:11-23, Revelation 21:8)

We believe that Satan is a person and that Hell is a place of eternal conscious punishment for him, his hosts, and all unbelievers. (John 13:2, II Corinthians 4:4, Matthew 25:41, Revelation 20:10)

We believe that churches are mandated by Scripture to abstain from all forms of compromise with unbelief.  We believe that believers are commanded to fellowship only with those churches that follow Scriptural methods.  We believe that this mandate above all means complete separation from all forms of Modernism, including the World and National Council of Churches. (I Corinthians 6:19,20; II Corinthians 6:14,15)

We believe that the Bible declares itself to be the message of God and sets forth the principle that this message is to be interpreted as literally as possible within its historical and cultural background.  We believe that we must follow the Scriptures and not emotions and avoid the faddist and cultist deviation of our day, including the so-called charismatic movement.  We further believe that since the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, we need to use the most accurate translations possible and avoid those translations and paraphrases of the Scripture that take liberties that are unwarranted.  We recommend the King James (Authorized) for general and church use. (Hebrews 4:12, II Timothy 3:16)
