1. WE
BELIEVE...The Scriptures are
Inspired by God and
declare His design and plan for
mankind.
2. WE BELIEVE...There is
only One True God–revealed in
three persons...Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit (commonly known as the
Trinity).
3. WE BELIEVE...In the
Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As God's son Jesus was both human
and divine.
4. WE BELIEVE...though
originally good, Man Willingly
Fell to Sin–ushering evil and
death, both physical and spiritual,
into the world.
5. WE BELIEVE...Every
Person Can Have Restored Fellowship
with God Through 'Salvation'
(accepting Christ's offer of
forgiveness for sin).
6. WE BELIEVE...and
practice two ordinances—(1) Water
Baptism by Immersion after
repenting of one's sins and
receiving Christ's gift of
salvation, and (2) Holy Communion
(the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic
remembrance of Christ's suffering
and death for our salvation.
7. WE BELIEVE...the
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a
Special Experience Following
Salvation that empowers
believers for witnessing and
effective service, just as it did in
New Testament times.
8. WE BELIEVE... The
Initial Physical Evidence of the
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is
‘Speaking
in Tongues,’ as
experienced on the Day of Pentecost
and referenced throughout Acts and
the Epistles.
9. WE BELIEVE...Sanctification
Initially Occurs at Salvation
and is not only a declaration that a
believer is holy, but also a
progressive lifelong process of
separating from evil as believers
continually draw closer to God and
become more Christ-like.
10. WE BELIEVE...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, throughout time,
have accepted God's offer of
redemption (regardless of religious
denomination) through the
sacrificial death of His son Jesus
Christ.
11. WE BELIEVE...A
Divinely Called and Scripturally
Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves
the Church. The Bible teaches
that each of us under leadership
must commit ourselves to reach
others for Christ, to worship Him
with other believers, and to build
up or edify the body of
believers–the Church.
12. WE BELIEVE...Divine
Healing of the Sick is a Privilege
for Christians Today and is
provided for in Christ's atonement
(His sacrificial death on the cross
for our sins).
13. WE BELIEVE...in The
Blessed Hope—When
Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to
His Return to Earth
(the second coming). At this future
moment in time 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.
14. WE BELIEVE...in The
Millennial Reign of Christ when
Jesus returns with His saints at His
second coming and begins His
benevolent rule over earth for 1,000
years. At that time many in the
nation of Israel will recognize and
accept Him as the Messiah, the
Savior who died for them and all
mankind.
15. WE BELIEVE...A Final
Judgment 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.
16. WE BELIEVE...and look
forward to the perfect New
Heavens and a New Earth
that Christ is preparing 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!'
