What We Believe

The Bible is inspired by God and is the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
There is one true God who exists as a Trinity.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and, as the second person of the Trinity, is God.
Humanity was created good and upright. However, through voluntary transgression, humanity fell and incurred both physical and spiritual death, resulting in separation from God.
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
There are two ordinances: believer’s baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a separate and subsequent experience following conversion and brings empowerment to live an overcoming Christian life and to be an effective witness.
Speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Sanctification is an act of separation from evil and dedication to God. It is also an ongoing process requiring continual yielding to the Holy Spirit.
The Church’s mission is to seek and save those who are lost in sin. The Church is the Body of Christ and consists of all people who accept Christ, regardless of Christian denomination.
Divinely called and scripturally ordained ministers serve the Church.
Divine healing of the sick is provided for in the atonement.
The imminent and blessed hope of the Church is its rapture preceding the bodily return of Christ to earth.
The rapture will be followed by the visible return of Christ and His reign on earth for a thousand years.
There will be a final judgment and eternal damnation for the wicked dead.
There will be new heavens and a new earth where righteousness dwells.
