(1 Timothy 3:16, Ephesians 4:4, & Colossians 2:9)

~  We believe in the Father, who is God Himself, Creator of all the universe and forgiver of all who call upon Him.

(Genesis 1:1, John 1:1)

~  We believe that Jesus is the one true and living God manifested in flesh.

(Colossians 2:9)

~  We believe that Jesus suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead for our total and complete salvation.

(Luke 3:21-22, Philippians 2:5-11)

(John 3:36, John 3:31-32, John 14:6)

~  We believe in the Holy Spirit who is God indwelling, empowering and regenerating the believer.  This Holy Spirit is called the Comforter.  The Spirit of Truth.

(John 14:17, John 14:26)

~  We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ atones for our sins and iniquity.  It is through His shed blood that we are saved, healed and set free from bondage and the forces of darkness.

(Romans 5:9-11, Ephesians 1:7, Revelation 12:11)

~  We believe that every believer must have a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, for apart from Him we can do nothing.  Each person has a ministry from God that no one else can fill.  We are to instruct, teach, exhort, and admonish believers in the ways of God.

(John 15:1-5, Hebrews 13:5-6)

~  We believe that the Bible is the true infallible Word of God, which cleanses our souls.  It holds the words of eternal life and the keys of the Kingdom of God.  The Bible shows us God’s principles and standards for living; and it is the food that sustains us in all circumstances.

(John 1:14, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 1 John 2:5-6)

~  We believe that we are to wash and renew our minds daily by the Word of God.  Each and every person must have a personal commitment to reading and studying the scriptures, the word of God to us.

(Titus 3:5, Ephesians 5:26)

~  We must learn His ways and exchange our way of thinking for His.  We are to be conformed to the Kingdom of God by the molding and shaping of His Hands.

(Romans 12:1-2, Ephesians 4:23-29, Philippians 4:8)

~  We believe in justification by Faith.  (Just as if I had never sinned.)  We believe that salvation is FREE and apart from any work of man, it is a result of the sovereign grace of God.

(Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 5:5, Romans 5:1)

~  We believe in worshipping the Lord God in spirit, song, and dance and with the raising of our hands.  We believe that we are to praise and worship Him with our whole being.

(Psalms 150:1-6, John 4:14)

~  We believe that Godly living, true holiness, and the pursuit of a holy life should be the goal of every true believer.

(Hebrews 12:14, Philippians 3:14)

~  We believe that all true believers must be water baptized by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the circumcision of our hearts and remission of our sins.  It is through baptism that we publicly identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

(Romans 6:3-6, Colossians 2:11-14, Acts 2:38-39)

~  We believe that all Christians need to partake of the communion elements which represent the Lord Jesus’ body and blood.  It is by participating in the Lord’s Supper that we proclaim His death until His return.

(John 6:53-58, 1 Corinthians 11:23-30)

~  We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost / Holy Spirit, ALWAYS with the initial sign of speaking in other, unknown tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and instruction.  We believe that all Christians should be filled daily by using the prayer language; the additional evidence of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence is a truly changed life.

(Acts 2:4, Ephesians 5:18-21)

~  We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, help and government.

(Mark 16:15-18, Acts 5:16, 2 Corinthians 12:1-11)

~  We believe that it is God’s absolute will to heal and deliver His people today as He did in the days of the first Apostles.  It is by the stripes of Jesus that we are healed, delivered and made whole.  We have the authority through the blood and power of Jesus that dwells in us, over sickness, disease, demons, curses, and every circumstance in life.

(Luke 10:19, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, 1 Peter 2:24)

~  We believe that each true Christian believer must: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, (That NAME is Jesus)…And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and it they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

(Mark 16:15-18)
