We believe in, and live by, God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth and
in Jesus Christ, His Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost through the
Word of God and born of the virgin, Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified
dead and buried. He descended into Hell and He stripped Satan of his power. Upon the
third day he rose again. He ascended into Heaven where He is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty. We believe in the Holy Ghost, the worldwide body of Christ
(His Church), the forgiveness of all sins, the resurrection of the body, the communion of
the saints, and life everlasting. We believe that through a profession of faith and trust in
the shed blood of Jesus Christ, His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension; one may
become a partaker of their eternal inheritance in Him.
1. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God written by holy men as they
were inspired and instructed by God. It is the inerrant Word of God (11 Tim 3: 15).
2.. We believe that Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man
in Our own image, after Our likeness.” But man, voluntarily transgressed against God,
and God has provided man with his only hope of salvation and redemption which is in
Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1: 26-31; Gen. 3: 17; Rom. 5: 12-21).
3. We believe that Jesus came as a man, was born of a virgin, and His father is God. We
believe that Jesus was born without the inherited sin of Adam and, during his entire life,
committed no sin. Jesus was the eternal Father made visible, apart from whom there is
no God (I Tim. 3: 16; John 10: 30; Is. 9: 6; Luke 2: 11; Rev. 1: 8).
4. We believe in the personal salvation of believers through the confession of sins,
recognizing that Jesus Christ is the substitute for our sins, through His shed blood. It is
by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ and His shed blood, that we become an
heir of God (Rom. 10: 9,10; 1 John 1: 9; Eph. 2: 8,9).
5. We believe that the New Birth is a direct witness of the Spirit and is an inward
confession of Jesus Christ (Rom 8: 16). We believe that following salvation through Jesus
Christ you should be baptized...as commanded by the Lord Jesus. This was the last
command He left His apostles. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them, in
the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” (Matt. 28: 19) Mark 16: 16
reads, “He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved...”
6. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues
as the Spirit gives utterance as recorded in Acts 2: 1-4.
7. We believe in casting out demons and curing diseases, healing the sick by the laying
on of hands and raising the dead back to life. (St. Matt. 10: 1, 7-8; St. Luke 9: 1, 2)
8. We believe in the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit and that these gifts are given
throughout the Body of Christ and are in operation today (I Cor. 12).
9. We believe in the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ "in the air" for His Church
(His bride). (1 Cor. 15: 50-58; 1 Thess. 4: 13-18)
10. We believe that there is a heaven and a hell. Heaven is a place of eternal rest for the
righteous (those who have accepted Jesus Christ as atonement for their sins) and hell is a
place of eternal damnation for the unrighteous (those who do not accept Jesus Christ as
their Lord and savior)
(Matt. 28: 19, Mark 16: 16).
11. We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth to destroy the works of
Satan and to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in
everlasting righteousness. We believe that Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives, the
place from which He ascended, and He will destroy all wickedness. (Dan. 9: 24; Zech. 14:
4; Rev. 19: 11-21; Rev. 20: 1-3)
12. We believe in the millennial reign of Jesus – the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ
from heaven, and the millennial reign of Christ and His followers on earth (2 Thes. 1: 7,
Rom. 11: 26-27, Rev. 20:1-7).
13. We believe in the Great Commission – to minister God’s saving grace and to reach
out to the poor and lost in spirit (Mark 16: 15). And foremost, to honor and obey God’s
command, “take the gospel into all the world.”
