What We Believe

• The Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. The Word is the divine and final authority for the Christian life.   
• There is one God, the creator of all things, who is infinitely perfect and eternally existent in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.    
• Jesus Christ is the union of God and man. He is true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of all men. He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and is presently seated at the right hand of the Father as our high priest and advocate.   
• Man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin, which resulted in his spiritual death and separation from God. Only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. 
• Water baptism and communion are ordinances to be observed by the church during the present age. They are not to be confused with or regarded as a means of salvation. The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only grounds for justification and salvation.   
• The present day ministry of the Holy Spirit is to comfort and guide the believer, with the final purpose of glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ in the earth. 
• Every born again, spirit-filled believer should maintain a consistent prayer life by praying regularly with their understanding and in their heavenly language.    
• Without faith it is impossible to please God.  The Word tells us that the just [those who have been justified by the blood of Jesus] shall live by faith.  
• The universal church is composed of all those who are born again. Through the new birth, we are united together in the body of Christ. 
• He will come in the air to resurrect the righteous dead and catch away the living saints.  That is commonly referred to as the rapture. 
• And then His return is two-part in nature; (1) He will then come to the earth to establish His physical kingdom, and begin His thousand-year reign.  (2) Then at the end of the thousand-year millennial reign of our Lord, there will be a bodily resurrection of the dead, the believer to everlasting joy with the Lord and the unbeliever to judgment and eternal punishment. 
• Every believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit, with speaking in tongues as the initial physical evidence.
