We Believe...

The Bible is Inspired

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to men, the infallible rule of faith and conduct. (John 1:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Pet. 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12)

The One True God

God has revealed Himself as eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM,” and has further revealed Himself by simultaneously existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isa. 43:10, 11; Matt. 28:19)

 Man, His Fall and Redemption (Salvation)

Man sinned and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The Grace of God that brings eternal salvation is available to all men, through repentance toward God and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:17; Rom. 5:12-21, Titus 2:11; 3:5-7; Rom. 10:13‐15; Luke 24:47)

In Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is completely God and completely man. He is the second person of the trinity. He is the Son of God and born of a virgin without sin, died, resurrected, and ascended to the Father and will triumphantly return. (Matthew 1:20-21, 27: 45-50, 28: 1-4; John 1:2-3; John 3:16; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Corinthians 15:50-58)

In the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is equal in the Trinity. The gift promised by Jesus Christ for every believer. He makes men aware of their need of Jesus Christ. He is the power that resides inside the believer to teach, guide, rebuke, help evangelize, and to live out Jesus Christ. (John 14:16-17, 16:7-13; 2 Corinthians 3:17: Acts 1:8; Rom. 8:11; 1 Corinthians 2:12; Ephesians 1:13, 5:1; Galatians 5:25)

Baptism in Water

Water baptism is a command given by Jesus Christ for believers when He gave the great Commission. Water baptism is an outward testimony done publicly which testifies of our inward faith. It is evidence of our transformation. (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16, Rom.6:4)

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire is a gift from God as promised by Jesus Christ to all believers. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. (Matthew 3:11; John 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8, 2:38,39, 10:34-48, 19:1-7)

 The Lord’s Supper (Communion)

Communion, consisting of the elements, bread, and fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing in remembrance of His death, and prophecy of His second coming by all believers. (John 6:48,51,53-57; Luke 22:19,20; 2 Pet.1:4; 1 Cor. 11:25)

Sanctification

By the power of the Holy Spirit, we strive to obey the command, “Be holy, for I am holy.” All believers should pursue this by walking in obedience to God’s Word. (Heb. 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:15, 16; 1 Thess. 5:23, 24; 1 John 2:6)

Divine Healing

Deliverance from sickness both spiritually and physically is provided for in the redemption of Jesus Christ and is the privilege of all believers (Isa. 53:4, 5; Matt. 8:16, 17; Mark 16:18; John 5:14; 1 Peter 2:24)

The Millennial Reign of Jesus

The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of national Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ on the earth. (2 Thess. 1:7; Ro. 11:25; Rev. 20: 4-7)

The Lake of Fire

The devil and his angels, the beast, and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire, which is the second death (Rev. 19:20; 20:10).

The New Heavens and New Earth

We, as promised in the Scriptures, look for the new heaven and new earth wherein righteousness dwells (2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21: 1).
