We Are Fundamental

We are fundamental Christians, holding to historical Baptist doctrine. This means that we hold to the fundamentals of the Faith and we reject modernism.

What are the fundamentals? Usually when this question is asked, we point to The Fundamentals, edit by R.A. Torrey and published in 1909. Faced with the escalating trend of modernism in churches in the 19th century -- even the denial of basic Christian doctrines -- a group of Christians put together a twelve-volume set of books expounding what they believed to be the fundamentals of the Faith. This work was edited by R.A. Torrey and contributed to by H.A. Ironsides, C.I. Scofield, and others.

In short, these Christians defined the fundamental doctrines of Christianity as:

1. The Trinity: God is one "What" and three "Whos" with each "Who" possessing all the attributes of Deity and personality.

2. The Person of Jesus Christ: Jesus is 100% God and 100% man for all eternity.

3. The Second Coming: Jesus Christ is coming bodily to earth to rule and judge.

4. Salvation: It is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

5. The Scripture: It is entirely inerrant and sufficient for all Christian life.

We believe that without these fundamental doctrines, an individual or church cannot call themselves "Christian" with any Biblical basis.

We Use the King James Version of the Bible

The importance of this is too often overlooked. We believe that any honest examination of textual history will affirm the King James Version of the Bible as the version that legitimately represents the original manuscripts. Modern versions come from a corrupted manuscript family and have often been written by non-Christians in the pursuit of money and fame.

We Are Independent

We follow the Biblical model for churches by being independent of any and all denominational control, influence, and affiliation. Our Church is a fellowship of like-minded Christians, and we answer to God in our spiritual affairs and Church governance -- not to any temporal authority.

We are doctrinally Baptist

We teach and preach Bible-based, historic Baptist Doctrine -- "the Old-Time Religion".
