Our Statement of Faith

We believe in…

      1.                 The Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, as the inspired Word of God.

2.                 The one true God, revealed in the Scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3.                 The creation of man as good, and the fall of man from his original state into sin from which he has no  power to redeem himself.

4.                 The all-sufficient atonement by the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, which cleanses anyone who believes in Him from all sin, and salvation through faith in Christ alone.

5.                 Water baptism, as taught in the Scriptures, which identifies the believer with the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and which brings him into a covenant relationship with God.

6.                 A life of holiness and separation from the world and sin, no longer serving them, but serving the Lord with a pure heart united with the Holy Spirit.

7.                 The Baptism of the Holy Spirit as a separate, distinct experience, subsequent to salvation, providing an impartation of power for life and service, accompanied by speaking in tongues.

8.                 The church as the Body of Christ, a group of believers “called and chosen” to reveal God's plan and purpose in the earth, and the local expression of this church functioning according to New Testament order and organization.

9.                 The manifestation of all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit in the local assembly, God dividing the gifts amongst the believers as He wills.

10.             The “laying on of hands” by those qualified and anointed in ministry for blessing, dedication, confirmation, healing, ordination, and impartation of spiritual gifts.

11.              Individual and collective praise and worship.  All expressions of praise recorded in the Old and New Testaments are meant for practice in the church today.

12.             The restoration of the church concerning all that the prophets have spoken, and the subsequent visual and bodily return of Jesus Christ to set up His Kingdom on the earth.

13.             The promise of eternal life for all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Savior, and eternal damnation for those who reject Him.

14.             The tithe, 10% of all income, is to be used for the support of the church staff who, according to scripture, are referred to as Levites.
