What We Believe
The church accepts the Scriptures as the revealed
Will of God, adopts these Statements of Fundamental Truths and
Doctrine.
Article I
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will
of God (II Tim. 3:15-7; I Pet. 1:23-5; Heb. 4:12)
Article II
We believe there is one true Godhead comprised of the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. All are co-equal and co-eternal (Matt. 28:19; I Jn. 5:7).
Article III
We believe Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh and the second
member of the Godhead (Is. 9:6; Jn. 1:1,14).
Article IV
We believe man was created in God’s image. By voluntary
transgression he fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus
Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21).
Article V
We believe man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood
of Jesus Christ. On the cross Jesus Christ became sin and sickness
providing both salvation and healing for all mankind (Ps. 103:3). This
salvation comes by believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from
the dead and confessing with your mouth, Jesus as Lord (Rom. 3:24,
10:8-10; Eph. 2:8).
Article VI
We believe the inward evidence, to the believer, is the direct witness
of the spirit (Rom.8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of
true holiness and love (I Jn. 3:23, Jn 13:35).
Article VII
We believe salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human
works; however our works are evidence of our faith and will determine
our reward in eternity (Acts 16:3; Rom. 10:9, 14:10-12;II Cor.5:10:
Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; James 2:18)
Article VIII
We believe baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a
believer has died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him
to walk in newness of life (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Rom. 6:4).
Article IX
We believe the celebration of the Lord’s Supper by eating of the
bread and drinking of the cup is a remembrance of Jesus (I Cor.
11:24-30).
Article X
We believe all believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect
and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism of the Holy
Spirit, according to the command of Jesus Christ. With this comes the
endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of gifts and
their uses in the work of the ministry: This experience is distinct
from the subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Luke 24:49:
Acts 1:4-8, 2:38-39, 10:44-46, 15:7-9; I Cor. 12:1-31).
Article XI
We believe the evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit: The full
consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is
evidence by the initial physical sign of speaking in tongues as the
Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of
spiritual power in public testimony and service (Acts 2:4, 10:44-46,
19:2, 6, 1:8).
Article XII
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ. Each believer is an
integral part (Eph. 1:22, 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23)
Total Prosperity
Spiritual (John 3:3, 11; II Cor. 5:17-21; Rom. 10:9-10)
Mental (II Tim. 1: 7; Rom. 12:1; Is. 26:3)
Physical (Is. 53:4, 5; Matt. 8:17; I Peter 2:24)
Financial (III John 1:2; Mal. 3:10; Luke 6:38; II Cor. 9:6-10; Deut.
28:1-14)
Social (Prov. 3:4)
Blessed Hope Jesus is coming again to gather all His Saints to Heaven
(ICor.) 15:51-52; I Thess. 4:16-17; II Thess. 2:1)
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will
suffer eternal (Rev. 19:20, 20:10-15)
The Millennial reign of Jesus. The return of our Lord Jesus Christ
with His Saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years
on earth as the Scriptures promised (Rom. 11:25, 27; I Thess. 1:7;
Rev. 19:11-16, 20:1-7). After this there will be a new heaven and a
new earth (Rev. 21)
