THE SCRIPTURES - We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We accept it as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21, 1 Thessalonians 2:13)
THE GODHEAD – We believe our God is one who is eternally existent in three persons, the Father, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Philippians 2:6)
SALVATION – We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Fallen man’s only hope of redemption is through the blood of Jesus. We believe in total prosperity for the born again believer through our covenant with God through Jesus Christ. According to the Word of God our salvation benefits us in all areas of life; spiritual, mental, emotional, financial and social. (Romans 5:14, 1 John 3:8, Ephesians 2:8-10)
ETERNAL LIFE and the NEW BIRTH – The new birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced produces eternal life. (2 Corinthians 7:10, John 3:3-5)
WATER BAPTISM and HOLY COMMUNION – Baptism in water is by immersion, and is a direct commandment of our Lord. It is for believers only and is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. We observe the ordinance of Holy Communion, proclaiming the Lord’s death till he comes. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12)
BAPTISM in the HOLY SPIRIT – We believe in the present-day work of the Holy Spirit in born again believers called the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It is the endowment of power for a life of service and ministry to the Lord Jesus. It is evident by the sign of speaking in tongues and other spiritual manifestation gifts. (Acts 1:8, Acts 2:38)
SANCTIFICATION – The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see God. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, continuing until Christ’s return. (Hebrews 12:4, 1 Thessalonians 5:23 2 Peter 3:18)
DIVINE HEALING – Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the church today. (Mark 16:18, 1 Peter 2:24)
RESURRECTION of the JUST and the RETURN of OUR LORD – Jesus will return again in like manner as He ascended into heaven. When He comes, the dead in Christ will rise first, then, we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. (Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Revelation 5:10)
HELL and ETERNAL RETRIBUTION – We believe for those who reject Jesus there is certainty of eternal judgment and torment. (Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 19:20)
