1. Holy Bible:

We believe that the Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the written Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. The Bible, in its original writing, is both inspired and inerrant. (Proverbs 30:5, Romans 16:25-26, II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21).

2. Trinity:

We believe that there is one God, who is the Trinity, or Tri-Unity, of three distinct persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are all co-equal and co-eternal. (Genesis 1:26, Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 28:19, Luke 1:35, Hebrews 3:7-11, I John 5:17).

3. Jesus Christ:

We believe that Jesus Christ is God the son, the Second Person of the Trinity. Jesus Christ is all man and all God. He is the only man ever to live a sinless life. (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, 14, 20-28, Philippians 2:5-6, I Timothy 3:16, 2:5).

4. Virgin Birth:

Jesus Christ is the only-begotten Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary. Therefore, Jesus is the Son of God. (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18, 20:23, Luke 1:27-35).

5. Redemption:

Man was created good an upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is through the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7, Romans 5:12-21).

6. Salvation:

We are saved by grace (which is undeserved and unearned) through faith in Jesus Christ, his death, burial and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works, nor of any human efforts. (Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9-10, Galatians 2:16, 3:8, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Hebrews 9:22).

7. Christ's Blood:

Because Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, his blood shed on the cross of Calvary is completely sufficient to cleanse us of all sins when appropriated through repentance and faith. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for the sins we have committed, enabling all who believe to be freed from the penalty of sin (which is death). (John 1:29, Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9, Colossians 1:20, I John 1:7, Revelation 1:5).

8. Repentance:

Repentance is a commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ. Through repentance we individually receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation. (Acts 2:38, 3:19).

9. Christ Dwells in All Believers:

A Christians is a person who has invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside him by the Holy Spirit. The Christian puts his trust in what Christ accomplished when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead. (John 1:12, 14:17, 23, Romans 8:11, Revelation 3:20).

10. Water Baptism:

After believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38).

11. The Church:

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for fulfillment of Christ's great commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the Church as a member of the body of believers. (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22, Hebrews 12:23).

12. The Lord's Supper:

The Lord's Supper is a unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and wine (or grape juice), representing in some mysterious spiritual way the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, are taken by believers in remembrance of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. (Matthew 26:26-28, Mark 16:16, Acts 8:12, 36:38, 10:47-48, I Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25).

13. Baptism in the Holy Spirit with Evidence of speaking in Tongues:

Initiated at Pentecost, Holy Spirit Baptism is the promise of the Father, given by Jesus after his ascension, to empower the Church to preach the gospel throughout the whole earth. The primary purpose of speaking in tongues is to bring edification to the believer by enhancing his prayer life. (Joel 2:28-29, Matthew 3:11, Mark 16:17, Acts 1:5,8, 2:1-4,17,38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38,44-47, 11:15-17, 19:1-6).

14. Sanctification

Sanctification is the ongoing process of being set apart for God, characterized by our yielding to God to complete the development of Christ's character in us. A lifestyle of developing righteousness and holiness is the evidence to all men that Christ's Spirit lives within us. (Romans 8:29, 12:1-2, II Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, I Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23, II Thessalonians 2:1-3, Hebrews 2:11).

15. Health and Prosperity:

We believe that, as part of Christ's work of salvation, it is the Father's will for believers to become whole, healthy and successful in all areas of life.

1. Spiritual - John 3:3,11, Romans 10:9-10, II Corinthians 5:17-21
2. Mental and Emotional - Isaiah 26:3, Romans 12:2, II Timothy 1:7
3. Physical - Isaiah 53:4,5, Matthew 8:17, I Peter 2:24
4. Financial - Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Joshua 1:8, Psalms 24:10, Malachi 3:10-11, Luke 6:38, II Corinthians 9:6-10, Philippians 4:19, III John 2

16. Healing of the Sick

Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and is included in the commission of Jesus to his disciples. Healing is a provision of Christ's atonement on the cross, and is given as a sign which is to follow believers. (Psalms 103:2-3, Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 16:17-18, Acts 8:6-7, James 5:14-16, III John 2).

17. Second Coming

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time undisclosed by the Scripture. (Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64, Acts 1:9-11, I Thessalonians 4:15,17, II Thessalonians 1:7-8, Revelation 1:7).

Resurrection:

We believe that Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. One day all believers in Christ will also be physically resurrected in glorified bodies to their external reward in heaven with God. (Luke 24:16,36,39, John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4, Acts 24:15, Philippians 1:21-23, 3:21).

Heaven

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place of all who believe in Jesus Christ. (Matthew 5:3,12,20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34, John 17:24, II Corinthians 5:1, Hebrews 11:16, I Peter 1:4).

Hell

After living one life on earth, those who have rejected Christ will be judged justly by God and sent to hell, where they will be eternally separated from God, and tormented together with the devil and the fallen angels. (Matthew 9:27, Mark 9:43-48, Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8).
