OUR BELIEFS
THE ONENESS OF GOD
We believe there is one God, and His name is Jesus. He has revealed Himself as the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Ghost in regeneration. All the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Jesus Christ.

SIN AND SALVATION
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of salvation. Salvation comes only through faith in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, expressed in obedience to the Gospel.
-
We obey the Gospel by:
-
Repenting of our sins (death to sin).
-
Being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (burial).
-
Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (resurrection life).

Scripture References: Acts 2:38; Acts 10:44–48; Romans 6:3–4; Ephesians 2:8–9
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is our final authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and life. Through its teachings, we find direction, correction, and the revelation of God’s will.

Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:15–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; John 17:17
THE GOSPEL
The Gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. We apply the Gospel to our lives through repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and receiving the Holy Ghost. This is the same pattern experienced by the early church in the Book of Acts.
-
Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 15:1–4; Acts 2:37–39; Acts 19:1–7
CHRISTIAN LIVING
We believe Christians are called to live holy lives, both inwardly and outwardly. Holiness is not about outward appearance alone but flows from a heart transformed by the Spirit. We are to love God with all our heart and love others as ourselves. Through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, we are empowered to walk in righteousness and display the fruit of the Spirit.

Scripture References: 1 Peter 1:16; Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:22–25; 1 Corinthians 6:19
HEALING
We believe that divine healing is for us today. Jesus Christ bore stripes for our healing, and the prayer of faith brings restoration to the sick. We practice anointing with oil, prayer for the sick, and laying on of hands, believing that God still performs miracles.
-
Scripture References: Isaiah 53:5; James 5:14–15; Mark 16:17–18
HEAVEN AND HELL
Heaven: We believe heaven is a literal place prepared for those who have obeyed the Gospel and are living holy lives. It is the eternal reward for the righteous.
Hell: We believe hell is a literal place of eternal punishment and separation from God for the unrighteous.
-
Scripture References: John 14:1–3; Revelation 21:1–4; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:12–15
THE FUTURE
We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ. The dead in Christ shall rise first, and those who are alive will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous to eternal life and the unrighteous to eternal judgment.
