The teaching of Immanuel Bible Church is based on the Scriptures. Article V from our Constitution serves as our STATEMENT OF FAITH, and it reflects those doctrines that the elders and congregation consider essential to understanding, teaching, and practicing God's Word. It is based on an interpretation of the Scripture that is: Normal - understanding the words of Scripture in their common usage unless otherwise indicated by the context. Literal - understanding the meaning of Scripture in its ordinary sense unless the context requires a figurative interpretation. Grammatical - using the recognized rules of grammar to interpret the text. Historical - understanding the words of Scripture in the context of the times in which they were written. Systematic - categorizing and comparing the teaching of the Scriptures with the whole of Scripture in view.
