This is our statement of faith, Bible doctrine, that we believe and teach. It is based on the principles of the doctrines of Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Bible is inspired by God and is the infallible Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1: 20-21).
We believe that there is only one God eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. (Ephesians 4:5-6, Gen. 1:26, Matthew 3:16-17).
We believe in the deity of Christ and that Christ was God tabernacled in the flesh. (John 1: 1-4; John 10:30; John 1:14; Hebrews 1:1-5) and that Christ:
- was born of a virgin. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:30-35)
- was conceived of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:30-35)
- died on the cross for our sins. (John 19:30-35)
- rose again from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. (John 20:25-29, Luke 24:36-40, Romans 6:10-11)
- ascended into heaven. (Luke 24:51, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Matthew 24:29-30)
We believe in the rapture of the church and the Second Coming of Christ. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; Matthew 29-30)
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through one’s repentance and faith in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. (Acts 3:19, Luke 24:47; Ephesians 1:7)
We believe regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God is required for personal salvation. (Titus 3:5-7; Titus 2:5, John 3:3-5, Ephesians 5:25-27).
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides divine healing for the body and salvation for the soul of anyone that believes. (1 Peter 2: 24; Acts 3: 16, Acts 9: 32 -35)
We believe that when an individual receives the Holy Ghost, he receives divine enablement for his/her Christian life, service and witness. (Acts 1: 8; 2:4; 3:1 -26; 4:5 – 12)
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 15: 16; 1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Peter 1:3)
We believe in the final resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the former to eternal life and the latter to eternal judgement. (Revelations 20: 11 -15; 1 Corinthians 15: 12 – 23)
