Statement of Faith 

The authority for the Constitution of this Association is the Holy Scripture and its teaching as understood in the literal, grammatical, and cultural sense and shall be binding on this Association as long as it exists. Every statement, regulation, and provision of the constitution and by-laws of this Association must be in harmony with the relevant teaching of the Scriptures. No statement, policy, or action shall be taken that infringes upon or contradicts the teaching of the Scriptures as interpreted by the following doctrinal statement:

Section 1:  We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God, and are inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.

Section 2:  We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Section 3:  We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth and His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future personal return in power and glory.

Section 4:  We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

Section 5:  We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

Section 6:  We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
