WE BELIEVE:
ONE TRUE GOD
We believe in One Eternal God who is the Almighty Father and Creator of all things. He is holy, sovereign, all-knowing, all-powerful, omnipresent, unchanging, merciful, just, gracious, faithful, kind, and loving.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, born of a virgin, sinless, and the Only Mediator between God and man. Jesus Christ is the Word of God made flesh and is our living example of how to please the Father. Jesus Christ is the only Way to heaven.
HOLY GHOST
We believe that the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God by which God works and manifests Himself unto mankind. The Holy Ghost convicts the world of sin, comforts and dwells within believers, and empowers them to live holy lives of service to God. The Holy Ghost guides believers into all Truth and testifies of Jesus Christ.
SATAN
We believe that Satan (also known as the devil, Lucifer, etc.) is the adversary of men’s souls, the accuser of mankind, the father of lies, and the deceiver. He is present in this world and seeks to steal, kill, and destroy the souls of mankind. He can be transformed and appear as an angel of light. We believe that the devil is the ultimate enemy of God and wages spiritual warfare to destroy souls. Satan is the god of this world and all who do not believe in Jesus Christ for salvation serve the devil.
SCRIPTURE
We believe that the King James Version Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God in the English language. Scripture is unalterable and is the Only Authority and source of Truth upon which mankind can stake their eternal soul.
SALVATION
We believe that Salvation is the redemption of the sinful soul of mankind by grace and through faith in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation cannot be earned, but it is a gift of God. All have sinned and have need of Salvation.
BAPTISM IN WATER
Baptism in water is the next step after salvation and is a testimony to the world that the believer has been changed by the blood of Jesus Christ and is a New Creature. Baptism represents the death of the flesh and the resurrection with Jesus Christ in the newness of life.
SANCTIFICATION &
HOLY LIVING
We believe that Christians are called and empowered by God to live a holy, sinless life like Christ. Christians are commanded to abstain from pride, worldly lusts, and the works of the flesh. We are sanctified by the Word and by God’s Spirit and these should never stop working within the life of a believer.
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST
The baptism of the Holy Ghost is the indwelling of God’s Spirit within the believer and is evidenced with speaking in a heavenly tongue. The baptism of the Holy Ghost empowers believers to do the works of God.
GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
We believe in 9 Spiritual gifts that work in the believer through the power of the Holy Ghost to have faith, heal and deliver, discern spirits, speak a word of wisdom or knowledge, work miracles, prophecy, speak with divers kinds of tongues, and interpret tongues. We believe that these gifts are individually given unto believers, but all of the gifts should be present within the body of the church. The gifts of the Spirit are for edifying the church.
THE CHURCH
We believe that The Church is the body of Christ; however, the Body is comprised of many smaller groups of individual believers. These small groups called churches or congregations, are individual, important members of the Body united under the leadership of a Pastor. Congregants should be faithful to assemble themselves with the other members of the body of Christ in order to worship God, serve others, and reach for the lost.
RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
We believe in the resurrection of the dead. We believe that there is a resurrection unto life and a resurrection unto death. The eternal souls of mankind will be raised up to stand in judgement before God.
ETERNAL JUDGEMENT
We believe that it is appointed unto man once to die and after this The Judgement. Every man will stand before the judgement seat of Christ to be judged according to the deeds which have been performed in this body whether they be good or evil. We believe that judgement handed down is final and eternal.
HEAVEN AND HELL
We believe in a literal heaven made for the Redeemed of God which is a wonderful place full of beauty, and eternal peace and joy. We believe in a literal, eternal hell which is a horrible place full of fire, darkness, and torment which was prepared for the devil, his angels and all who will not believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
