THE SCRIPTURES
The Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit,and contains every answer to man's problems.
(2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21)
THE ONE TRUE GOD
There is one God, manifested in three eternal, co-equal Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7)
God is Love and He loves all people. It is His desire to reach out to those who are poor, oppressed, widowed or orphaned, and to heal the brokenhearted. (Psalm 68:5,6; 1 John 4:16)
MAN & HIS FALL
Man is created in the image of God but separated from God by sin.Without Jesus we cannot have a relationship with God. (Genesis 1:26; 1 Timothy 2:5)
SALVATION OR THE NEW BIRTH
We can have a personal relationship with God through salvation,God's free gift to man. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God's unearned favor. By admitting we have sinned and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ,and accepting Him as Lord, we can spend eternity with God. (Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24)
WATER BAPTISM
We believe in water baptism, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus,as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17)
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He helps empower the believer to develop the character of Christ and live every day in God's will. (Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4)
God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God's people (the Church) and proof of God's existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today.
(1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10)
Sanctification is the ongoing process of allowing God's character to be developed in us. (Romans 6:19; Galatians 5:22-25)
HOLY COMMUNION OR THE LORD'S TABLE
An act of covenant given by the Lord for believers only, representing the broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ. (1 Cor. 11:23-34)
DIVINE HEALING
Divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus CHrist,who is the Healer. Healing includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual restoration. (Mark 16:18; Matt. 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24; Prov. 4:20-22; James 5:14-15)
THE SECOND COMING OR RETURN OF JESUS
Jesus will return and take all those who have accepted Him as Savior to heaven for eternity. This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Acts 1:11; John 14:3; Heb. 9:28; Rev. 22:20)
THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST
Jesus shall return to earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be His kings and priests, He shall reign 1000 years (Rev. 5:10; 19:11-16; 20:1-7)
ETERNAL PUNISHMENT IN HELL AND THE LAKE OF FIRE
The Bible describes hell as a real place. It is a place of suffering and a place of permanent separation from God for those who die without accepting Christ. God's desire is that no one be separated from Him for eternity, which is why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:12-15; John 3:16-18)
