The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, Word of God and the revealed will of God. (2 Timothy 3:15-17) |
| 2. |
There is one true Godhead comprised of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All are co-equal and co-eternal. (Matthew 28:19) |
| 3. |
Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, is the second person of the Godhead. (Isaiah 9:6) |
| 4. |
Man was created in God's image. By voluntary transgression he fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-31) |
| 5. |
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross Jesus Christ became sin and sickness, providing both salvation and healing for all mankind. (Psalm 103:3) |
| 6. |
This salvation comes by repenting of your sins, believing in your heart that God raised:
- Jesus from the dead and confessing with your mouth, Jesus as Lord.
- The inward evidence, to the believer, is the direct witness of the Spirit.
- The outward evidence to all men is a life of true holiness and love. (Romans 3:24, Romans 10:8-10, Romans 8:15-16, 1 John 3:23) |
| 7. |
Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works; however, our works are evidence of our faith and will determine our rewards in eternity. (Romans 10:9-10, Romans 14:10-12) |
| 8. |
Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19) |
| 9. |
We remember what Jesus did for us by celebrating the Lord's Supper. We do this by eating the bread and drinking of the cup. (Luke 14:14-20) |
| 10. |
All believers should seek the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The promise has been made to each believer. Our responsibility is to ask for and receive the baptism. This experience is distinct from and should follow the new birth. (Luke 24:49) |
| 11. |
Speaking in other tongues as the spirit gives utterance is the initial evidence and physical sign of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service, and a holy life, is further evidence of this baptism. (Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, Acts 10:44-46)
|
| 12. |
The Church is the Body of Christ. Each believer is an integral part. (Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:19-22) |
| 13. |
We believe in total prosperity for each believer. Prosperity means holistic success according to God’s Word. It is empowerment from God to overcome anything in life, which is less than His will.

Jesus is coming again to gather all His saints to Heaven. 1 (1Corinthians 15:51-52) |

We believe there is an eternal separation from God for those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Christ. They will burn in the lake of fire. (Revelation 19:20, Revelation 20:10-15) |
| 16. |
We believe in the return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His saints from Heaven to rule and reign for 1000 years on earth as the Scripture promised. After this, there will be a new heaven and a new earth. (Romans 11:25,27, Revelation 19:11-16, Revelation 21)
