BIBLICALLY FAITHFUL - We believe with absolute conviction that God's Holy Word, the Bible, is the very Word of the Lord our God, that it is "true and righteous altogether," and that as such it is the absolute authority of God for every aspect of our lives.  Even so, it is the commitment of our hearts to conform all of our preaching, teaching, ministry, and conduct in accord with the righteous standard of God's Holy Word.
BAPTIST - We are Baptist by conviction, believing that the Baptist faith has historically remained closest to the truth and teaching of God's Word.  Indeed, we firmly hold to such distinctive Baptist doctrines as - the absolute authority of God's Word, the baptism by immersion of only believers, the liberty of conscience of all individuals, the separation of church and state in organization (not of God and state in morality), etc.
FUNDAMENTAL - We believe that the truth and teaching of God's Holy Word is to be interpreted literally and straight-forwardly with all readiness of mind and all reverence of heart.  Thus we hold with unwavering conviction to the fundamental and foundational doctrines that are to be found therein in every detail, concerning both our beliefs and our behavior.
KING JAMES - We strictly and firmly hold to the King James translation of the Bible as God's authoritative Word for English speaking people.  Thus we use only the King James translation in all our preaching, teaching, counseling, and ministerial activities.
INDEPENDENT - We believe that the authoritative Head of the local church is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.   Therefore, under the direct headship of our Lord Jesus Christ, we remain self-governing as a local church and remain independent from the governing authority of any external organization.
CONSERVATIVE - We reject as spiritually carnal all styles of ministry and music that are conformed to the popular, contemporary culture.  Even so, in structure and philosophy of ministry, we remain Biblically "old-fashioned" and distinctly conservative.  Furthermore, in style of music we remain firmly rooted to the "old-fashioned" hymns and choruses of the faith, rejecting all forms of "Christian rock" (Christian contemporary) music.
