We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of GOD - 

"All Scripture is GOD-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of GOD may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

2 Timothy 3:16,17

We believe GOD is Triune, ONE GOD, THREE PERSONS:   GOD, THE FATHER, GOD, THE SON and GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT - 

^"May the grace of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and the love of GOD, and the fellowship of the HOLY SPIRIT be with you all."

2 Corinthians 13:14

We believe that man was originally created in the image of GOD, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection - 

"Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned--"

Romans 5:12

We believe that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on HIM -

"For GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS ONE and only SON, that whoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:16

-------

^"But GOD demonstrates HIS own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, CHRIST died for us."

Romans 5:8

We believe that we have no righteousness of our own but must come to GOD pleading the righteousness of CHRIST -

^"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--"

Ephesians 2:8

We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of CHRIST, we are justified before GOD - 

"If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

1 John 1:9

We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at the moment of  conversion is a very real one - 

^"Therefore, if anyone is in CHRIST, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

2 Corinthians 5:17

-------

"I have been crucified with CHRIST and I no longer live, but CHRIST lives in me.  The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the SON of GOD, who loved me and gave HIMSELF for me."

Galatians 2:20

We believe the HOLY SPIRIT is given to the new believer at the moment they receive JESUS as their personal SAVIOR.  

^"And with that HE breathed on them and said, "Receive the HOLY SPIRIT."

John 20:22

We believe the Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT to be a 'second grace' and that 'speaking in tongues' in the same manner of Bible days is the outward evidence of the inward act of this baptism - 

^"All of them were filled with the HOLY SPIRIT and began to speak in other tongues as the SPIRIT enabled them."

Acts 2:4

We believe that the Baptism with the HOLY SPIRIT is to endue the believer with power; and that HIS incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days- 

"Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of JESUS CHRIST for the forgiveness of your sins.  And you will receive the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT.  The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the LORD our GOD will call."

Acts 2:38,39

We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work - 

^"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the FATHER and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT."

Matthew 28:19

We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the
faith - 

"Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about CHRIST and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in GOD."

Hebrews 6:1

• We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of the bread and juice of the vine - 

"And when HE had given thanks, HE broke it and said, "This is MY body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of ME."  In the same way, after supper HE took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in MY blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of ME."

1 Corinthians 11:24,25

• We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily -

^"And do not grieve the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in CHRIST GOD forgave you.

Ephesians 4:30-32

• We believe that the HOLY SPIRIT has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life - 

^"Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.  You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.  Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the SPIRIT of GOD says, "JESUS be cursed," and no one can say, "JESUS is LORD," except by the HOLY SPIRIT.  There are different kinds of gifts, but the same SPIRIT.  There are different kinds of service, but the same LORD.  There are different kinds of working, but the same GOD works all of them in all men.  Now to each one the manifestation of the SPIRIT is given for the common good.  To one there is given through the SPIRIT the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same SPIRIT, to another faith by the same SPIRIT, to another gifts of healing by that one SPIRIT, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.  All these are the work of one and the same SPIRIT, and HE gives them to each one, just as HE determines."

1 Corinthians 12:1-11

-------

"But the fruit of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness."

Galatians 5:22

• We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism -

"Let your gentleness be evident to all.  The LORD is near."

Philippians 4:5

• We believe that it is GOD'S will to provide Divine Healing through the Name of JESUS CHRIST in answer to the prayer of faith - 

•  

^"Is any one of you sick?  He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the Name of the LORD.  And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the LORD will raise him up.  If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.  Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.  The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

James 5:14-16

• We believe that the second coming of CHRIST is personal and imminent - 

•  

^"For the LORD HIMSELF will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of GOD, and the dead in CHRIST will rise first.   After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the LORD in the air.  And so we will be with the LORD forever."

1 Thessalonians 4"16,17

• We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of CHRIST -   

•  

"So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers."

Acts 16:5

-------

^"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

Hebrews 10:25

• We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of GOD -

•  

^"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which GOD has established.  The authorities that exist have been established by GOD.  Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what GOD has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.  For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.  Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority?  Then do what is right and he will commend you.  For he is GOD'S servant to do you good.  But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. HE is GOD'S servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.  Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience."

Romans 13:1-5

• We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgment seat of GOD, and there receive eternal life or death - 

•  

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of CHRIST, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."

2 Corinthians 5:10

• We believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers -

•  

"Do not let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in GOD; trust also in ME.  In my FATHER'S house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you.  I am going there to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with ME that you also may be where I am."

John 14:1-3

-------

^"And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the LAMB.  Therefore, "they are before the throne of GOD and serve HIM day and night in HIS temple;  and HE who sits on the throne will spread HIS tent over them.  Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.
   The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.  For the LAMB at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; HE will lead them to springs of living water.  And GOD will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Revelation 7:15-17

• We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject CHRIST as the SAVIOR -
  

• "For GOD did not send HIS SON into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through HIM.  Whoever believes in HIM is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the Name of GOD'S ONE and ONLY SON."
  

• John 3:17-18

•  

• -------

•  

• "And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

•  

• Revelation 20:10

•  

• -------

•  

• ^"If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

•  

• Revelation 20:15

•  

• We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church - 
  

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the FATHER and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT."

Matthew 28:19

-------

"Remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."

James 5:20

We believe that the method ordained of GOD for the support and spread of HIS cause is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings - 

"And my GOD will meet all your needs according to HIS glorious riches in CHRIST JESUS."

Philippians 4:19

-------

"Now HE who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness."
