We Believe
  • in One True God expressed in Three Persons and the Deity of Jesus Christ. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are eternally self-existent, and self-revealed. Jesus Christ, who is God manifest in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
  • that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life as He walked among men, demonstrated the authority and power of God in works and speech to inaugurate God's Kingdom on earth, died on the cross, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God as our High Priest and Mediator having accomplished all that is necessary for man's salvation.
  • that the Bible is God's Word. It is inspired and accurate. It is our perfect guide in all matters of life.
  • in God's salvation of man. Man was created innocent, but through Adam's transgression, sin came upon all men. Jesus Christ came to pay the penalty of man's sin through His shed blood, so that all men can be saved by faith in Him. Salvation is by grace through faith. Grace may be simply stated as God doing for man what he could not do for himself in the person of Jesus Christ. Faith may be simply stated as a man's positive response to God's grace.
  • that the Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He guides us in all areas of our lives. He also blesses us with spiritual gifts and empowers us to yield the fruit of the Spirit. Believers can and should be filled with the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in other tongues.
  • in divine healing - the restoration of health to those who believe and act on the truths written in God's Word. We further believe that Jesus is our Healer and that by His stripes we are already healed.
  • that water baptism is a symbol of the cleansing power of God and the salvation that has already taken place in Jesus Christ.
  • that the Holy Communion is a celebration of Jesus' death and our remembrance of Him.
  • in the imminent return of Jesus. When the rapture occurs, the dead in Christ will rise first, and then those who are alive and remain (those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior) will be caught up to meet Him in the air.
  • that Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.
