  • Essential Christianity: The Inspiration of Scripture

    • We believe in the verbal plenary inspiration of the Bible. We believe that the Bible is God's message to man, disclosing the way of salvation; and that it is a sufficient rule of life for the saved.

  • Essential Christianity: The Tri-Unity of God

    • We believe in One God existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father sent the Son, the Son came as the willing sacrifice for sins and the Holy Spirit was the means through which the Son offered Himself.

  • Essential Christianity: The Person and Work of Jesus Christ, Part 1

    • We believe the person of Jesus Christ is both true God and true man. His death on the cross was sacrificial and substitutionary. His resurrection from among the dead was literal. He bodily ascended into heaven. He is presently and continuously interceding for us at the right hand of the Father. His personal coming is imminent. He will personally return to the earth to set up His kingdom.

  • Essential Christianity: The Security of the Believer

    • We believe that all who receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become the children of God. This same group of people are called the saved; which designation indicates their eternal preservation and everlasting blessedness. We further believe those who are not saved are lost and doomed to everlasting and conscious punishment.

  • Essential Christianity: Church Leadership

    • We believe that a local church is a fellowship of believers around the person of Jesus Christ, observing His ordinances, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word. Its officers are pastors, elders, and deacons whose qualifications are clearly defined in Scripture. We hold that the local church has absolute right to self-government, to property, in all matters pertaining to fellowship with other churches, membership, government, discipline, and missionary giving.

  • Essential Christianity: The Local Church (Ordinances)

    • We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water to show forth, in a solemn and beautiful emblem, our faith in the crucified and risen Savior, with its effect in our death to sin and resurrection to a new life. Baptism shall not become the grounds of fellowship or requirement for church membership but the individual's responsibility and privilege before God. Parents may present their children for dedication by arranging beforehand with the pastor for such ministry. All believers who love our Lord in sincerity, whether in fellowship with the church locally or not, shall have the privilege of sharing at the Lord's Table.

Scott Talks About...

  • Forgiveness

    • Many people wonder if God can forgive sin. In the Psalms we read, "Oh Lord, if You marked iniquity, who could stand?" The amazing thing is, God can and does forgive sin.

  • Good Deeds

    • How many times have people told you "I believe God will judge us according to how we have lived." God does. Salvation is always by grace, but if we spurn God’s salvation, we will face Him as judge.

  • Being Spirit Filled

    • What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? In the Bible, Ephesians 5:18 says "And do not get drunk with, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."

  • The Nature of God

    • The God of the Bible: God is a God of love and a God of justice. Man was created in His image; man has the capacity to know God and was created to have a love relationship with God.

  • The Solution

  • Receive and Believe

    • This matter of believing in Christ, putting our faith in Him; it is more than believing that He existed. The issue is clear in the Bible, ... all » in John 1:12; "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name."

  • It's Your Choice

    • It is a wonderful thing to know Jesus Christ, to know that you are a sinner and you cannot do anything about it. But God loved me, in my sin, and He provided a savior.
