We believe the Bible to be inspired of God, the infallible Word of God. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
We believe in one God who is eternal in His existence, who has revealed Himself as Father of all creation; who was manifest as the Son in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit in operation, (1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Joel 2:28). He is sovereign and absolute in His authority, (1 John 5:7; 1 Timothy 3:16).
We believe that Jesus, who is God manifest in flesh, was sent from heaven to be an atoning sacrifice for man’s sins. He suffered, died, was buried and rose from the dead for our total salvation, (Luke 3:21-22; Philippians 2:5-11)
We believe that salvation comes by faith in Christ through grace and is not achieved by the works of mankind, (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 5:5; Romans 5:1).
We believe in the full salvation experience which includes true repentance, water baptism by immersion in the name of our Lord Jesus, regeneration by Holy Spirit baptism with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues and the pursuit of a pure and holy life, (Acts 2:38; Titus 2:11-12; Hebrews 12:14).
We believe in worshiping the Lord in spirit, song, dance, and with the raising and clapping of our hands. We believe that we are to praise and worship God with our whole being, (Psalms 150:1-6; John 4:24).
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit in order that the Body of Christ, the church, may be built up, (2 Corinthians 12:1-11).
We believe in divine healing. Jesus Christ not only paid the price for our salvation but also for the healing of our bodies. He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities and has provided the authority to every believer to pray for the sick and see them recover, (Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:17; Mark 16:17; James 5:14-16).
We believe in the imminent return of Christ, the resurrection and the catching away of the saints. We look forward with comfort to that glorious day that we will rise to meet Him in the air and forever be with our Lord, (Matthew 24; Acts 1:11; 1 Corinthians 11:26; Philippians 3:20-21; 1Thessalonians 4:14-17).
