We Believe ...

• The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God.
• There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
• In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• Man, though originally created good, willingly fell to sin.
• The only means of being cleansed from this sin annd having fellowship with God is through repentance and faith in Christ.
• The practice of the ordinances of water baptism and holy communion/
• The baptism in the Holy Spirit is given to believers who ask for it.
• The initial, physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is "speaking in tongues," as experienced by the apostles on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2 and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
• Sanctification initially occurs at salvation. It is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from sin as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christ like.
• The Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who have accepted God's offer of redemption through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ, regardless of denomination.
• A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the threefold purpose of leading the Church in evangelization of the world, worship of God, and building a body of saints being perfected in the image of Christ.
• The divine healing of the sick.
• All believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.
• Jesus will return with His saints at His second coming and begin His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years.
• A final judgement will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
• Christ is preparing a New Heaven and a New Earth for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
