A brief summary of our doctrinal
statement:

them for us today II Timothy 3:16; John 10:35; I Peter 1:19; II Peter
1:20, 21; Psalm 119:89; Psalm 12:6-7.
...the Genesis account of Creation, and that
what you believe about your origin will determine your philosophy of
life. We believe creation was a direct act of God, literal days,
instantaneous, and miraculous. Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:17; Job 26:7;
