About

We believe that the Scriptures, which include the 39 books of the Old Testament, and the 27 books of the New Testament, are verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings; and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and life. The church recognizes that it cannot bind the consciences of individual members in areas where the Scripture does not speak directly, but that each believer is to be led by the Lord to Whom alone he is ultimately responsible. For the preservation of the peace and unity of the church, officers and teachers shall be in complete agreement with the Doctrinal Statement, which we believe to be an accurate summary of essential biblical doctrines. All members shall refrain from imposing doctrines that are not included in the Doctrinal Statement in such a way as to encourage doctrinal disputes which could tend to destroy the peace and unity of the church.
