THE BIBLE
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally and completely inspired Word of God. The Scripture is the final authority for faith and life, as it is God-breathed, infallible, and inerrant. The entire divine revelation of God to Man is contained in the sixty-six books that make up the Old and New Testaments.
