The Bible

We believe that the Bible is God’s word, that it was written by men divinely inspired and that it is a supreme infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct. Custom or man’s tradition or opinion should not be contrary to the spirit and teaching of scripture. (II Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12, 1 Peter 1;23-25)

Giving

We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God's wealth entrusted to him, is obligated to support his local church financially. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basis for giving but that every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to the support of the Church, the relief of those in need, and the spread of the Gospel. We believe that a Christian relinquishes all right to direct the use of the tithe or offering once the gift has been made. (Genesis 14:20; Proverbs 3:910; Acts 4:3437; 1Corinthians 16:2).

The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final source of all that we believe. We do believe, however, that the foregoing Statement of Faith accurately represents the teaching of the Bible, and therefore, is binding upon all members.
