What We Believe PDF Print E-mail
  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16)
  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (1 John 5:4-6)
  • 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 to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Peter 2:21-24; and John 3:16)
  • We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. (Romans 3:21-30; Galatians 4:7)
  • We believe the Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son. People are regenerated (born again) by the Holy Spirit, and He lives in believers to manifest the character of Christ. He provides believers with power for holy living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance for life. He also gives Christians spiritual gifts, so they might serve the church and the world in a manner that surpasses their own natural abilities and limitations. The victorious Christian life must be lived under His daily control. (Genesis 1:2; John 14:16-17; John 16:7-13; Acts 1:8; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 2:10-14; 1 Corinthians 12:3-11; Galatians 5:22-25; Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 5:18)
  • 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 service. (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:2-6; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:42-43; Matthew 3:11)
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:24-29)
  • We believe that deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers. (Isaiah 53:4; Matthew 8:16; John 5:14; 1 Peter 2:24)
  • We believe in the imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 4:18; Revelation 22:20)
