We believe in one holy and compassionate God, the
Father, the Son and Holy Spirit, eternally existent as Creator of all things.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God, born of the Holy Spirit to the virgin Mary.
Jesus lived a sinless life, performed miracles by doing what He saw His
Father doing. Jesus was crucified, died and was buried, was then
resurrected and later ascended to heaven. Jesus the Christ
is now seated at the right hand of the God the Father and is true God and
true man. ~ Colossians 2:9, I Corinthians 15:3-4,
II Corinthians 5:21, I Peter 2:18-24, John 3:16, Hebrews 5:7-10

We believe in the Word of God and the life and light
found in the Bible. The Bible provides the inspired Word of God.
The Old Testament referred to as Scripture, is a product of holy men of
old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The
New Covenant, recorded in the New Testament, provides the infallible rule
of faith and conduct as we rightly divide it with the help of the Holy
Spirit today. ~II Timothy 2:15, II Timothy 3:16, I Thessalonians
2:13, II Peter 1:19-21

We believe that the Lord desires for all to be saved
for He so loved the world He sent His only Son. Man is created in
the image and likeness of God but through Adam's fall sin entered the world
and mankind. Therefore all have sinned and come short of the glory
of God and there is none righteous from birth as first being a natural
descendent of Adam. Personal salvation is available for all
those who confess Jesus as their Lord, believeing in their heart in His
sacrifice and resurrection, repenting of the former and becoming a new
creation. We must be born again to have relationship with the Lord.
It is through His holy blood alone that we can come to the Father God now
in right standing with Him. ~ John 3:1-7,
16, Romans 3:10,23, 5:1-2, 8-11, 10:9-13, I John 3:8, 2 Corinthians 5:17,21

We believe in progressive sanctification and regeneration
of the mind, will and emotions by grace, through the Word of God and by
the Holy Spirit and that this produces Christ likeness, holiness and purity
in our life. ~
Hebrews 12:14, I Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Phillippians 3:12-14

We believe in water baptism as a symbol of the Christian's
identification with Jesus Christ in His death, burial and ressurection.
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of the initial
physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance,
as distinct from the new birth. This baptism will also result in
subsequent manifestation of the gifts, fruit and power of the Holy Spirit
~Matthews
3:11, Acts 1:8, 2:4 and 42-43, 10:44-46, 19:2,6, I Corinthians 14:1-19

We believe that deliverance from brokeness, sickness
and scarcity is available from the Lord through faith in the name of the
Lord Jesus and responding to His Word of life. This wholeness in
all areas of life was redeemed for believers now and in eternity by Jesus
Christ, as we serve the Lord. ~ Luke 4:17-21,
Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 10:28-31 and 16:18, John 5:6-14 and I Peter 2:24,
Phillippians 4:17-20, Galatians 6:7-10, 3 John 2, James 5:14-15, Isaiah
53:4

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved
and the lost, the eternal wholeness of the saved, and the eternal punishment
of the lost who are separated from God. The personal return of our
Lord Jesus is the believer's hope and soon coming. ~John
5:24,28-29, Acts 1:11, I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Hebrews 9:27, Revelation
19:20 and 22:20
