Statement of Faith
Our Beliefs

- The KING JAMES BIBLE is the preserved Word of God in the English language. Ps 12:6-7
- Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. Isa. 7:14, 9:6; Matt. 1:18-25; John 1:1, 14.
- Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice, and His shed blood justifies all who believe in Him. John 3:16; Rom. 5:1, 6-9; I Tim. 2:5, 6.
