We believe in the plenary-verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of the Scriptures as originally given and that they are infallibly and uniquely authoritative and free from error of any sort in all matters with which they deal, including scientific and historical as well as moral and theological God We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness Romans 3:10 -18 The Lord Jesus Christ We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; entirely God and entirely man Christ's Death & Resurrection We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and raised again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples Christ's Bodily Ascension We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation and personal, literal and bodily coming again the second time for the Church John 14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Salvation By Grace Through Faith We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins Sanctification
We believe in the Spirit-filled life and the process of sanctification—a life of separation from the world and perfecting holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Sprit with the evidence of speaking in tongues as an experience subsequent to salvation and a distinct aspect of the Christian foundational experience The Gifts of the Spirit We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in Ministry of Believers We believe that every Christian can and should function in some sort of ministry in the Church according to their spiritual gifts and pastoral discretion The Church We believe that a local church is a community of believers and is a tangible expression of the universal church, or the world-wide Body of Christ, which is God’s final instrument for establishing His Kingdom Matthew 16:18; Matthew18:17; Acts 2:42-47; Ephesians 3:8-11 Local Church Government We believe that the local church should be governed by a group of elders who serve as the church’s pastors and who are directed by a head-elder, or senior pastor Praise and Worship We believe that praise and worship in the local church should be modeled after the example of the Tabernacle of David Marriage We believe in the sanctity of marriage as established by the Holy Scriptures and that God created marriage and that the only legitimate marriage is the joining of one man and one woman. Healing We believe in the miraculous healing of the body, available through Christ’s atonement and performed by the Holy Spirit as experienced and practiced in the Early Church Communion We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord's Supper, for believers Eternal Life We believe in eternal life for believers John 5:24 ; John 3:16 and eternal punishment for unbelievers Satan & His Judgment We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and eternal judgment of Satan and his angels
