We Believe

that the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God. The Church is made up of those who have become followers of Jesus Christ and have personally appropriated the gospel. The Church exists to worship and glorify God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The ministry of the Church is an extension of the ministry of Jesus in the power of the Spirit of which Christ serves as the head.in the great commission and are endeavoring to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with love, mercy and compassion. 

there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit). 

in water baptism by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Through baptism, we identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:3-6; Colossians 2:11-14; Acts 2:38. 

in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues. Acts 2:4. 

that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. We believe that the term "marriage" has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. Genesis 1:26-27; Matthew 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians 6:18, 7:2-5; Hebrews 3:4. 

in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, helps and government. Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:1-11. 

everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9. 

as Christians we are to love God and others.  We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully.  The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.  Mark 12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10. 

Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death.  1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15. 

that the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the plenary-verbal inspired Word of God; that they are inerrant in the original writings; and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and practice. Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Psalm 19:7-10; Proverbs 30:5-6; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:17-18; Luke 21:33, 24:27, 44; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20-21, 3:15b–16; 1 John 4:1

Jesus Christ is coming again to carry away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11 15.
