WHAT WE BELIEVE

 

  • In God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each an uncreated person, one in essence, equal in power and glory.
  • That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, dead, and buried. He rose on the third day. He ascended to heaven, and now sits in authority at the right hand of God the Father as the intercessor. 
  • The Bible is the perfect inspired Word of God. It is the source of all doctrine, instruction, and correction. It provides practical guidelines for everyday life. 
  • That all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and repentance is commanded and necessary for the forgiveness of sins. Salvation is a free gift from God, through Jesus Christ, when we by faith receive forgiveness, and accept Him as Lord and Savior of our life. 
  • Holiness is God's standard of living for His people. We are an imperfect people serving a perfect God. Yet, it is only by the grace, and mercy provided through His Son, that we can present ourselves Holy, acceptable, and celebrate this incredible relationship. 
  • In the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking with other tongues. As well as, the empowerment to serve, lead, and be a witness of Christ in the earth. The Holy Spirit is our guide and comfort, and guide in this life. 
  • Water Baptism is an outward sign of of what God has already done in our lives. We follow Christ' example in baptism and therefore identify with Him in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
  • In taking communion (The Lord's Supper) in commemoration of Christ's death, and it is a sign of our relationship with Him. The ordinance also looks forward to Christ's second coming, for it is a reminder to proclaim the Lord's death "until He comes!"
  • Divine healing is provided for all in the atoning death of Jesus Christ on the cross for body, soul, and spirit. We understand that God does hear and answer the prayer of faith for the sick, and afflicted. 
  • In a literal second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and eagerly await the resurrection of those who died in Him, and a catching away of the living to meet Him in the air. There is a literal heaven and hell, and Jesus Christ will determine the eternal destiny for believers and unbelievers.
