  1. We believe that the Bible is the God -breathed, God -inspired infallible Word of God . We believe that it was written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write in their own words what He wanted them to write. We believe the Bible is God's word, powerful and able to instruct, rebuke, exhort and change a person's life. It is sacred and central to our faith. 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17; HEB. 4:12; 2 PET. 1:20-21

  2. We believe in one God , eternally existing as God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ , and the Holy Spirit . . JOHN 1:1.14; 10:30; 1 JOHN 5:7

  3. We believe mankind is created in the image and likeness of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world upon everyone, thus placing us in dire need of Jesus Christ's salvation. ROMANS 3:23; 5:12, 14; 6:23

  4. We believe that mankinds first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that works repentance and faith, which is a gift from God. When a person receives God's gift of salvation, by grace through faith in Jesus Christ , he or she receives eternal life. This new birth is necessary for all people wanting to be saved. JOHN 3:3-7; 2 COR. 7:10 EPH. 2:8-9

  5. We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, was resurrected from the grave, and ascended into Heaven where He is seated at the right hand of the Father as our Lord, Savior, High Priest, Advocate, and Baptizer in the Holy Spirit. JOHN 3:13-16 ACTS 2:32-33; 26:23; 1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-4

  6. We believe that it is very important for a believer to be baptized in water, as commanded by Jesus Christ and His apostles. MATTHEW 28:19-20; MARK 16:15-16 ACTS 2:27-29

  7. We believe that assembling with other believers is vitally important for a believer's spiritual growth and fruitfulness. ACTS 2:42 ,46-47; HEB. 10:24-25

  8. We believe that healing is provided for the whole person: spirit, soul, and body; made possible by the power of God through the prayer of faith and the laying on of hands. It is a continuation of Christ's ministry and is the privilege of every child of God. MATTHEW 8:16-17; 10:7-8 MARK 16:17-18 LUKE 4:18- 21 ACTS 3:6-9; 5:14-16; 9:32-34 14:8-9; 19:11-12; 28:8-9 JAMES 5:14-16

  9. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift from God for all believers who have been born again. This experience is accompanied by spiritual gifts as the Holy Spirit Himself gives, including tongues, prophecy, power for witnessing, etc. LUKE 24:49 JOHN 20:21-22 ACTS 1:4-5, 8; 2:1-4, 37-39 4:31; 8:14-17; 10:44-47; 19:1-7

  10. We believe the fruit of the Holy Spirit will help believers to overcome their sinful ways. GAL. 5:16-25

  11. We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit that are to operate in the church as He wills. 1 COR. 12:1-11

  12. We believe that prayer and worship are ways for us to relate to God who is invisible and yet draws near to us as we draw near to Him. We believe that a closer relationship with God is available to all believers who will pursue Him for such. HEB. 4:14-16 JAMES 4:8-10

  13. We believe in the ministry of the believer, called to do works of service as God enables and they are equipped. ROMANS 12:4-8; EPH. 4:11-16

  14. We believe in the return of Jesus Christ after His church has fulfilled His commission and evangelized the world. MATTHEW 24:14; 28:18-20 MARK 13:10 16:15 -16; LK. 24:47; ACTS 1:6-8; 1 THES. 5:1-11; 2 PET. 3:8-9

  15. We believe there is coming a Day of Judgment when all will give an account to God for the kind of lives they lived in relation to their devotion to Him. Then the Lord will either send them into everlasting punishment or He will welcome them into eternal life. MATTHEW 7:22-23; 12:35-37; 16:27; 25:31-46 ROMANS 2:5-11; 2 THES.1:9-10; 1 PET. 4:17-18 REV. 20:12-15
