As Bible believers, we subscribe to the following beliefs:

• The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.

• There is one God, manifest in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our heavenly Father personally cares for us. Jesus, His Son came to earth by virgin birth, sinless, doing miracles, obedient unto death for the atoning of our sins by His blood. He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. He will return to earth in power and glory. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter sent by Jesus to indwell, guide, illuminate, and teach the believer. He is the Spirit of Truth (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19).

• Man was made in the image of God but fell into sin (Gen. 1:26-31; 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21). Man's only hope of being free of the punishment of that sin is through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus Christ took the punishment for our sin when He was crucified on the cross. He reconciled man unto God. Salvation (being forgiven of our sins and receiving the gift of eternal life) is done through God's favor. Nothing we can do makes us worthy to receive it. It is received by faith in what Jesus has done for us on the cross.

The true church are those who receive this free gift of forgiveness and eternal life, and choose to serve God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and make Him their Lord. We receive Christ by faith and in doing so, become born again by the Spirit of God. The Word of God says we are then adopted into the family of God.

Gifts of the Holy Spirit and ministry positions are given to the church (I Corinthians 12:7-11; 27-28), to equip the body of Christ for the work of the Great Commission. We believe in the unity of true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that we are commanded to love one another (John 13:34-35; 15:12; I John 4:7-8; Galatians 6:10).

Water baptisms should be observed by all who have repented of their sins and in their hearts believe on Christ as Savior and Lord. It is an outward symbol and declaration of faith in Christ.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire is a gift of God (Matthew 3:11), promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers and is given after salvation (John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; 2:4; 38-39; 10:44-48). It is given to empower a Christian to live a victorious life and to proclaim the Gospel of the kingdom of God with supernatural signs following them.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit are still in operation to build up the church (I Corinthians 12). All gifts reside and can be used in the Spirit-filled believer. They are exercised by the will of the Holy Spirit.

Holiness is the will of God for all believers (I Peter 1:16) and should be pursued by walking in obedience to God's Word. Holiness is a progressive work of grace by the Holy Spirit that is ongoing throughout a believer's life.

Ministry of men and women that is called forth by God has a two-fold purpose: (1) the evangelism of the world and (2) the edifying of the body of Christ (Mark 16:15-20; Ephesians 4:11-13). Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers prepare the saints for the work of the ministry.

The resurrection of those who have physically died as believers and those who are alive when Jesus Christ returns will be translated together. This is the hope of all believers (I Thessalonians 4:16-18; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; I Corinthians 15:51-52; Revelation 11:15).

The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whoever is not a believer shall be judged to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Rev 19:20; Rev 20:10-15). Without Christ, one is eternally lost (Hebrews 9:27; Matthew 25:41-46).

We according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness (II Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:2).
