WHAT WE BELIEVE...
The human phraseology employed in this statement is not inspired nor contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential to a full Gospel ministry. No claim is made that it contains all the truth in the Bible, only that it covers orthodox fundamental matters.

The Scriptures Inspired
The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the verbally inspired Word of God, a revelation -of God to men, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Thes. 2:13, 1 Pet. 1:23-25; 2 Pet. 1:21, Heb. 4:12).
 
The One True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM,” the Creator of heaven and earth and Redeemer of mankind.  He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, by simultaneously existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isa. 43:10, 11; Matt. 28:19, Luke 3:22).

The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.  The Scriptures declare: His virgin birth (Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:31, 35); His sinless life, (Heb. 7:26; 1 Pet. 2:22); His miracles, (Acts 2:22; Acts 10:38); His substitutionary work on the cross, (1 Cor. 15:3; 2 Cor. 5:21); His bodily resurrection from the dead, (Matt. 28:6; Luke 24:39;1 Cor. 15:4); His exaltation to the right hand of God. (Acts 1:9, 11; Acts 2:33; Phil.2:9-11, Heb. 1:3) 

Man’s Fall and Redemption
Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in our image and after our likeness.” Man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. Therefore, his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31; Gen. 3:6, 17; Ro. 5:12-21).

The Salvation of Man Conditions of Salvation
The Grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, and being justified by grace, has become heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 2:11; 3:5-7; Ro. 10:13-15; Luke 24:47; John 3:16; Eph. 2:8).

Evidences of Salvation
The inward evidence to the believer of his/her salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Ro. 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of holiness (1 Thess. 4:7, 2 Tim.1:9).

Baptism in Water
The ordinance of baptism by burial with Christ should be observed (as commanded in the Scriptures) by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on Christ as their Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been released to walk with Him in newness of life (Matt. 28:19; Mk. 16:16; Acts 10:47-48; Ro. 6:4).

The Lord’s Supper (Communion)
The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing in a memorial to His suffering and death, and a prophecy of His second coming, and is enjoined to all believers “until He comes” (John 6:48,51,53-57; Luke 22:19,20;2Pet. 1:4;1Cor. 11:25-26).

The Promise of the Father (Baptism in the Holy Spirit)
All believers should ardently expect and earnestly seek the Promise of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31).  This experience maybe distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the New Birth (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9).
 
Sanctification  Process
By the power of the Holy Spirit we aspire to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” Sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word (Heb. 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:15, 16; 1 Thess. 5:23, 24; 1 John 2:6).

The Church
The church is the holy Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer is an integral part of the church, and their names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (I Thess. 2:4)
 
Ministry
Divinely called and Scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for a three- fold purpose: (1) The establishing  and advancement of  the kingdom of God, (2)  The evangelization of the world, and (3) The edification of the Body of Christ (Matt. 6:10; Mark 15:16, 20;) The ministry of the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher is for the equipping of the saints as well as other biblically defined gifts. (Eph. 4:11-13, 1 Cor. 12:28).

Divine Healing
Deliverance from physical sickness and emotional traumas is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of all believers (Psalm 103:2, 3; Isa. 53:4, 5; Matt. 8:16, 17; Mark 16:18; John 5:14).

The Blessed Hope
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together with those who are alive and remain unto the Lord, is imminent and is the blessed hope of the church (1 Thess. 4:16; Rom. 6:23; Titus 2:13; 1Cor. 15:51,52)

The Millennial Reign of Jesus
The revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven, the salvation of national Israel, and the millennial reign of Christ on the earth are Scriptural promises and our hope (2 Thess. 1:7; Rev. 19:1l-16; Ro. 11:25; Rev. 20:l-7).

The Final Judgment
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Matt. 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15; 21:8).

The New Heavens and New Earth
We, as promised in the Scriptures, look for a new heavens and a new earth wherein righteousness dwells (2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21: l).
