Statement of Faith
We believe in one God, revealed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, for the sins of all mankind was crucified as the Lamb of God, died physically, was buried, tasted death for every man, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man.
We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
We believe in the resurrection of the saved unto eternal life and glorification and the lost unto eternal death and damnation.
We believe mankind is fallen, sinful, lost, and separated from God, and is only justified, restored, redeemed, and regenerated by God's gift of grace through faith in Christ resulting in a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit. We believe salvation is available to all that call upon the name of Jesus the Christ.
We believe that Jesus Christ has commanded each member of the Body of Christ to be personally involved in taking the Gospel to all the world through prayer for the lost, personal interaction with the lost sharing the word of reconciliation, financially supporting their local Word of God based church by tithing, and the giving of offerings in partnership with worldwide ministries as each person is directed by the Holy Spirit.
We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness, purity of heart and life.
We believe in divine healing/health, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, through power of the annointing of the Holy Spirit, and by partaking of the nature of God through His precious promises. We believe that divine healing/health is included in the Redemption.
We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that all of these are available to believers.
We believe in the Christian's hope of the soon coming, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
