JESUS IS LORD
WHAT WE BELIEVE
SCRIPTURE
I Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13
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 HIMSELF
Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13-14
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.
BIBLICAL HISTORY
Genesis 1-11
We believe in the full historicity and perspicuity of the Biblical record of primeval history, including the literal existence of Adam & Eve as the progenitors of all people, the literal fall and resultant divine curse on the creation, the worldwide cataclysmic deluge, and the origin of nations and languages at the tower of Babel.
CREATION
Romans 3:10-18
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.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:16
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man.
CHRIST'S DEATH & RESURRECTION
I Corinthians 15: 14; Romans 4:25
We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples.
CHRIST'S BODILY ASCENSION
John 14:2-3; 1 Thess. 4:13-18
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.
SALVATION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11
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.
WATER BAPTISM
Matthew 28;19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6
We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ.
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Acts 2:1-4; 8:14, 17; 10:44-46; Galatians 3:14-15
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Sprit as an experience subsequent to salvation.
THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14, and as manifested in the Early Church.
SPIRIT-FILLED LIVING
Ephesians 5:18; I Corinthians 6:14; 7:1
We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith.
HEALING
Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:1
We believe in the healing of the body by Divine Power, or Divine Healing in its varied aspects as 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
Mark 9:43-58; II Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:10-15
We believe in eternal life for believers (John 5:24; 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.
