The Creation
We believe the Genesis record of the creation is
literal, and not allegorical or figurative; that God
personally created the Heaven and the earth in a
direct act, that He brought forth all original
matter out of nothing. We believe that man was
created directly in God's own image and not by the
hypothesis of any kind of evolution. God's
established law says that all species shall bring
forth "after their kind"
(Genesis 1:1) (Acts 17:23-26) (Romans 1:20) (John
1:1-3) (Hebrews 11:3)
(Genesis 1:26-27)

The Fall of Man
We believe that man was created in innocence and
holiness and by voluntary transgression of the
Lord's command, fell from the state in which he was
created and as a consequence became a
sinner alienated from God and brought upon himself
and all mankind just condemnation. Man is
now, by virtue of his fallen nature, void of
holiness, positively inclined to evil and actually
condemned to eternal ruin without excuse.
(Genesis 3:6-24) (Romans 5:19) (Ephesians 2:1-3)
(Romans 5:12) (Romans 1:18) (Romans 1:28)

The Grace of Giving
We
believe and teach that God's method of financing His
work of spreading the Gospel is by the tithes and
offerings of His people in and through the local New
Testament Baptist Church which is the storehouse.
The time to tithe is upon the first day of the week
and that everyone is accountable to the Lord for
one-tenth of his income and that tithing was
instituted before the law and by Christ in the New
Testament Baptist Church.
(Matthew 23:23) (Leviticus 27:28-34)
(1 Corinthians 16:1-2) (Luke 6:38) (2 Corinthians
9:6-15) (Genesis 14:17-20) (Malachi 3:7-10)
(2 Corinthians 8:1-8)
