| What We Believe |
| |
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God (II Tim. 3: 16), and when illuminated by the Holy Spirit it becomes the words of life.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, power, justice, and love.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, his death on the cross, his burial, and bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in the blessed hope of His personal visible future return to the earth to receive to Himself, His glorious church that will be without spot or wrinkle, that it may be with Him forever.
- We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the blood of Christ.
- We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer.
- We believe that the baptism of water is to be fully immersed in water and represents the repentance of sins.
- We believe that the baptism with the Holy Spirit , according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
- We believe in the operation of all the gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12.
- We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
- We believe that until Christ reigns in heaven and in earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Church is challenged to wage spiritual warfare against all forces opposing God’s plan, and to establish the Kingdom of God in every sphere of a humans life.
- We believe in God's established church government of the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers (Eph. 4:11) and that these five-offices are anointed by God to disciple, train, and equip every believer to walk in the high-calling of God in Christ Jesus.
