These articles of faith are presented as a basis for unity and not for purposes of judgment or division.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
The Trinity
We believe the one true God manifests Himself in three persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Deity of Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His complete conquest over the powers of Satan, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His imminent return in like manner as He went away. We also believe that every believer has authority over all of the power of darkness in his life in the name of Jesus.
The Church
We believe the church consists of all those who truly believe in Jesus Christ and in His atoning death, and who trust in Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
Salvation
We believe that the only way to receive salvation is by and through the name of Jesus and that in order for any person to receive salvation we must confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God has raised him from the dead thereby God regenerates us by the Holy Spirit and that this salvation is wholly by grace through faith.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling Christians are enabled to live godly lives. We also believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, through which God gives every believer his or her own heavenly prayer language.
Faith
We believe that faith is acting upon the word of God.
Healing
We believe that healing was provided for the spirit, soul, and body in the atonement of Jesus Christ.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
We believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 are available and operational in the body of Christ today.
Water baptism and Holy Communion
We believe in the ordinance of Baptism in water (by immersion) in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, on the authority of Jesus' name. We also believe in the ordinance of Holy Communion.
The Rapture of the Church
We Believe when the Rapture occurs, the dead in Christ will rise first, and then those who are alive and remain (those have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior) will be caught up to meet Him in the air.
Heaven and Hell
We believe after death, eternal life begins either in heaven or hell. Where you spend eternity is based on your decision to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: They that are lost unto eternal damnation; they that are saved unto eternal life.
Tithes and Offerings
We believe tithes should be brought to and offerings should be freely given to your local church. We also believe in giving to the poor, homeless, sick and others in despair.
Unity of Believers
We believe in the spiritual unity of all who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.
