Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God. (2 Tim 3:16)

2. We believe that there is one God, revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; for the purpose of man’s wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. (Deut 6:4,5; Rom 14:11, Phil 2:9-11; Heb 13:8; Col 1:1-29; 1Cor 1:30; 1 John 3:8)

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension were He is permanently positioned and dwelling in divinity, and in His personal return in power and glory. (I Cor 15:3-4; 1 Ptr 2:18-24; John 3:16; Heb 1:1-14)

4. We believe that in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead (Father, Son & Holy Spirit) bodily, for it pleased the Father that in Jesus should all the fullness dwell.  We believe that whatever we do in word or deed, we must do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to the Father by Jesus. (Col 2:9; Col 3:17)

5. We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.  We believe that the Holy Spirit baptizes every believer into the body of Christ Jesus.  This results in the sinner being recreated in Christ Jesus, The believer becomes a new creation; old things are passed away and the human spirit is made new; now a saint of God.  We believe that salvation is only through believing and confessing the saving name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Baptism by submersion in water, calling on the name of Jesus is required after one confesses faith in Jesus Christ.
(Rom 3:21-30; Gal 4:4-7; 2 Cor 5:17; 1 John 3:23; Phil 2:9,10; Acts 10:43; Acts 4:12; Acts 2:38).

6. We believe that every Born Again believer should ask Jesus to baptize him or her with the Holy Ghost.  We believe that the full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and Christian service.
(Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:2; Acts 19:6; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:42-43; Matt 3:11)

7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the resurrection of life; and that they are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
(John 5:24, 28 and 29)

8. We believe that deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
(Isaiah 53:4; Matt 8:16-17; Mark 16:18; John 5:6-14; 1 Ptr 2:24)

9.  We believe in total life prosperity:  Spiritual (John 3:3,11:25,26; 2 Cor 5:17-21); Mental (2 Tim 1:7; Rom 12:2; Isa 26:3); Physical (Isa 53:4-5; Matt 8:17; 1 Ptr 2:24); Social (Prov 3:4); Financial (3 John 1:2, Mal 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; 2Cor 9:6-10; Deut 28:1-14)

10. We believe in the imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (1 Thes 4:13-18; Rev 22:20; John 14:3)
