The Bible:
We believe the Bible is God's written word to all men. The Bible is the source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. (John 1:1, 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

The Trinity:
We believe that God eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)

God:
We believe God is the creator and ruler of the universe. (John 1:3, Psalm 90:2)

Jesus:
We believe Jesus is the Son of God. He is equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again. (Matthew 1:22-23, Hebrews 4:14)

The Holy Spirit:
We believe the Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit provides Christians with the power for living - understanding spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. (1 Corinthians 2:12-13, John 14:16-17)

The Church:
We believe the church is the body of Christ. It is a group of believers committed to the fulfillment of Jesus' commission. Everyone born of the Spirit plays an important part in the body of Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:12-31)

Healing:
We believe that Healing was provided for the spirit, soul, and body by the works of Jesus at the cross. (Luke 6:19, Luke 9:2)

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit:
We believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 are available and operational in the body of Christ today. (1 Corinthians 12:4-6)

Baptism:
We believe in the ordinance of baptism of water by immersion in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the authority of Jesus' name. (Matthew 29:19, Galatians 3:26-27)

Communion:
We believe in a special time of reflection and the taking of the elements which represent the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. They are taken in a time of remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice for us on the cross. (Matthew 26:26)

Heaven & Hell:
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those who are lost suffer eternal separation from God. (Matthew 18:11, Matthew 25:46, Acts 4:10-12)

Salvation:
We believe that salvation is a free gift given by grace from God to those who willingly accept it. (John 14:6, Galatians 3:26, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9)
