We believe in the bible as the written and verbal inspired
word of Cod in all parts both the Old and New Testament
and is therefore wholly without error, inherent and
authoritative in our faith and practice. This is
revelation of God to man.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three
persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy
Spirit.
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His
virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His
victorious death as the only sacrifice for the sins of the
world. His bodily resurrection from the dead. He is our
intercessor in prayer. His future return in glory first to
rapture the church and second to establish the Kingdom of
God upon the earth.
We believe in the finality of Christ's meditorial work
for the redemption of mankind and the present freedom of
access to the Father.
We believe in the new birth as the only means of
receiving eternal life. The new birth involves a cleansing
and also deliverance from the penalty and power of sin. It
is effectuated through faith in Jesus Christ and
repentance from sin.
We believe in divine healing for the total man, spirit,
mind, and body and that this healing is accomplished in
the redemptive work of Christ on the cross and
appropriated in the believer's life through faith and
prayer.
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as an
endowment of power for all believers. This baptism results
in a deeper expression of spiritual fruit, a greater
growth in Christ likeness, a genuine manifestation of
spiritual gifts and a more effective prayer life. Speaking
in tongues is permitted using biblical guidelines. Also
power to cast our demons.
We believe in the process of spiritual development
called sanctification. This is accomplished in the
believer's life by the Holy Spirit through yielding and
obedience. One must die to sin daily to live a holy life.
We believe in the resurrection from the dead, first the
righteous, second the ungodly.
We believe in the ordinances of the church established
by Jesus Christ, the Lord's Supper and also Baptism by
immersion as a symbol and witness of the new birth in
Christ.
We believe in the grace of giving that all believers
are expected to give both a tithe and offering to the
local church.
We believe in the Lordship of Christ, and the set
leadership of God and the Holy Spirit of a Pastor in the
local body to follow and give direction.
We believe that gifted men and women are given to the
church for the perfecting of the saints for the work of
the ministry for the edifying of the Body of Christ, that
we may grow up in Him in all things, the fivefold ministry
of the body.
