CORE BELIEFS

1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their original writing as fully inspired by God and accept them as the supreme and for faith and final authority life. 

2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is the true God and true man

4. We believe God created man in His image; that man sinned and thereby incurred the penalty of sin, which is death, physical and spiritual, and without repentance imparts eternal separation from God’s presence

5. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, a substitutionary sacrifice according to the Scriptures, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.

6. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate.

 

7. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

8. We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.

9. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher.

10. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation


11. We believe the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the local church on earth should take its character from this concept of the Church and therefore, that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are essentials of Church membership.

12. We believe Christ paid for healing in his death, burial, and resurrection by Isaiah 53:4-5 Matthew 8:17 and 1 Peter 2:24.

13. We believe the Bible teaches that no man can see the Lord without holiness. We believe in sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation.
