WHAT WE BELIEVE

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin. His substitutionary death for all men, His resurrection, and His eventual return to judge the world.

SALVATION
We believe all men are born with a sinful nature and that the work of the cross was to redeem man from the power of sin. We believe that this salvation is available to all who will receive it.

HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity and in His interaction with man. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. We believe in the present manifestations of the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit.

THE SACRED SCRIPTURE
We believe in the scripture as the inspired Word of God and that it is the complete revelation of God's will for mankind. We believe in the absolute authority of the scripture to govern the affairs of men.

STEWARDSHIP
We believe that every man is the steward of his life and resources which ultimately belong to God. We believe that tithing is a measure of obedience to the scriptural principles of stewardship and also a measure of evidence of the believer's submission to the Lordship of Christ.

MINISTRY TO THE POOR
We believe in giving alms, caring for the poor, sick, homeless, and otherwise unfortunate.

THE CHURCH
We believe in the church as the eternal and universal Body of Christ consisting of all those who have accepted the work of the atonement. We believe in the need for a local assembly of believers for the purpose of evangelism and edification.

DIVINE HEALING
We believe in supernatural healing through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ and that physical healing is included in God's redemptive purpose for mankind.

PRAYER AND PRAISE
We believe in the worship of the Lord through singing, clapping and the lifting of hands. We believe in the authority of the believer to ask freely of the Lord for his needs.

BODY MINISTRY
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the church body through the laying on of hands and the anointing of oil by the elders of the church.

EVANGELISM
We believe that evangelism is the obligation of every follower of Jesus Christ. The Lord commands us to go out and make disciples of all the earth. We believe that each person is also responsible to evangelism in their own family as the Holy Spirit leads them and gives them the ability.

WATER BAPTISM
We believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion in obedience to the Word of God. All those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior should be baptized in water as a public profession of their faith in Christ and to experience what the Bible calls the "circumcision of the Spirit."

OUR COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL
We believe in the promise of Genesis 12:3 regarding the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. We believe that this is an eternal covenant between God and the seed of Abraham to which God is faithful.

THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER
We believe that every believer has a unique relationship to the Lord. As His children, every Christian has immediate access to the throne of Grace and the ability to manifest the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in ministry.
