PREAMBLE

Resting our faith wholly in the Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation, and believing in the

teachings of the Holy Bible as the inerrant, inspired Word of the living God both verbally

and in every part, we have affiliated ourselves with one another as a body of immersed

believers, and we adopt this constitution as a declaration of our convictions so that we

carry on the Lord's work decently and in order. We enter into a fellowship which asks all

of its members to engage in the ministry of maintaining its unique and significant

testimony against apostasy, worldliness and indifference. We earnestly seek by every

means possible to assist our church in its positive preaching of the Bible as the Word of

God, and in seeking to win the lost to Christ.
