STATEMENT OF FAITH
Our Beliefs
​
We recognize the existence of God as an absolute. The Bible, the written, infallible Word of God, serves as the basis of all our beliefs. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally, and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, that it was written without error in the original manuscripts, and that it is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.
We affirm our Statement of Faith through the following basic Biblical beliefs:​
​
​​​We Believe There is a heaven and hell. Jesus Christ will return to judge the earth and establish His kingdom
(Genesis 2:1, Colossians 3:1, Mark 9:43-48).
​
​
We Believe Divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement,
and is the privilege of all believers
(Isaiah. 53:4,5; Matthew. 8:16,17; James 5:14-16).
We Believe All believers are entitled to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and therefore should expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all
believers in the early Christian church. With the experience comes the provision of power for victorious
Christian living and productive service. It also provides believers with specific spiritual gifts for more effective ministry.
The baptism of Christians in the Holy Spirit is accompanied by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues (unlearned languages) as the Spirit of God gives them audible expression
(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; 2:4; 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9; 1 Cor. 12:1-31).
​
We Believe All Christians who have died will one day rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air. Christians who have not yet died will be raptured or caught up with them, to be with the Lord.
Then Christians of all ages will live with God forever. The scriptural truth of the Lord’s soon return is “the blessed hope”
(Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13).​​
​​We Believe There is one God, who eternally existent in three persons: God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and he created the heavens and the earth
(Genesis: 1:31 –2:1-3).
​
We Believe Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and enslavement by sin.
God provides salvation for all who believe and accept His free offer of forgiveness. Mankind’s only hope of redemption from the fallen sinful state is through the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son. Jesus' redemptive blood was shed as He died on the cross.
[The account of the crucifixion of Jesus is recounted in the following scriptures:
Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19, Luke 24:47, John 3:3,16,17; Romans 8:16, 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8,9; 4:24; and Titus 2:11-12; 3:5-7.
​
We Believe It is the Spirit of God who we need to live on this earth as God the father wants us to
(John 14:26, Corinthians 2: 9-13).
​
We Believe All scriptures in the bible are given and inspired by God, without error, and the authority on which we base our faith, wisdom, and behavior
(2 Timothy 3:15-17).
We Believe The gifts of the Spirit are available to us through the Holy Spirit who resides inside every believer
(1 Corinthians 12:1-31).
