Bible
We believe the Bible and the scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the divinely inspired Word of God and the final authority for life.
 
Godhead
We believe in the only living and true God, the Creator of heaven and earth. He is eternal and Triune in three manifestations: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
 
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus to be the only begotten Son of God. He was both fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay the penalty for our sins according to the Scriptures.
 
Jesus ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father, as our Intercessor, High Priest and Advocate, the only mediator between God and man. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.
 
Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is God indwelling, instructing and empowering the believer. His fruit and His gifts reveal His presence in the lives of believers. He is our Comforter and the Spirit of Truth. His ministry is to glorify Jesus and to convict men of sin.
 
Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God as a spirit with a soul and a body. Man fell into sin by eating the forbidden fruit. By one man sin entered into the world, thus all have sinned and need salvation.
 
Salvation
We believe that salvation comes only through belief in Jesus Christ. The shed blood of Jesus atones for our sins and iniquity, thereby we are saved from eternal damnation.
 
Return of Jesus Christ
We believe in the imminent, personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His church.
 
Resurrection of the Dead
We believe there will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead; the believer unto the resurrection of life and the unbeliever unto the resurrection of damnation.
 
Church
We believe that the true church is composed of all who have a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and are united together by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ..
Personal Relationship
We believe that every believer should have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
 
Christian Living
We believe that godly living and the pursuit of a holy life should be the goal of every believer.
 
Evangelism
We believe in evangelism, discipleship and helping the needy as part of the great commission.
 
Baptism
We believe that water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Jesus Christ as personal Savior is a testimony of death to sin
 
Communion
We believe the Lord’s Supper is a memorial service proclaiming the Lord’s death until He returns.
 
Baptism with the Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
 
Gifts of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
 
Healing and Deliverance
We believe that it is God’s will to heal and deliver His people today just as He did in the days of the first Apostles.
 
Worship
We believe in worshipping the Lord in spirit, song, dance and with the raising of our hands.
 
Tithe
We believe in tithes and offerings to support the work of God.
