The Holy Spirit: We believe in the Holy Spirit, Who convicts men of sin,
makes men children of God through the single ground of faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, and permanently indwells all who so believe.
Man: We believe that all men by nature and choice are sinners, and, as
such, are lost, separated from God, and in need of the Savior.
Salvation Only Through Christ: We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God.
Eternal Security: We believe in the eternal security of the believer.
The Church: We believe that the church is composed of believers in Jesus
Christ, united in the Body of which He is the Head. In this present age,
the Church is manifested in local, organized assemblies composed of
born-again, baptized believers, voluntarily united for the purpose of the
worship of God, the fellowship of believers, the observance of the ordinances, and the proclammation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout
the world.
Governance of the Church: We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and the Head of the Church, and that every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs.
Ordinances: We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation.
The Priesthood of Believers: We believe in the priesthood of each believer,
giving him the right and responsibility of personal, direct approach to
God.
Our Blessed Hope: We believe in the personal and premillenial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this "Blessed Hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
Our Eternal Destiny: We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved
and the lost: the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost to the
resurrection of damnation.
 In order to increase reading comprehension and to make reading the Bible more enjoyable, we have chosen the "New Living Translation" Bible published by Tyndale Publishers, Inc. as our preferred translated version of the Bible for all of our study groups as well as our addiction & co-dependency support group meetings.
