What we believe

Biblical Inerrancy

Defined by John Feinberg as “the view that when all the facts become known, they will demonstrate that the Bible, in its original autographs and correctly interpreted is entirely true and never false in all it affirms, whether that relations to the social, physical or life sciences.”
