We Believe In The Bible

The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible. We believe that the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are God-inspired and without error (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21). The Bible is our final authority for faith and practice.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
