WHAT DO WE BELIEVE IN?
1) The Inspiration of the Scriptures
The Scriptures, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, are verbally inspired by God and are God's revelation to man, the infallible and unappealable rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
2) The One True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternal self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and Redeemer of mankind. He has also revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and partnership as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).
3) The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Bible declares: (Acts 1:9, 11; 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3).
4) The Fall of Man
The human being by his own will fell into transgression, thus suffering not only in physical death but also in the spiritual, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26, Romans 5:12-19).
5)The Salvation of Man
The only hope of redemption for man is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
6) The Ordinances of the Church
Water baptism - The Scriptures establish the ordinance of water baptism by immersion. All who repent and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16).
Holy Communion - The Lord's Supper, which consists in partaking of the bread and fruit of the vine as a reminder of the sufferings and death of our Lord Jesus Christ 2 Peter 1:4.
7) Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers have the right to receive and should earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. With baptism comes an endowment of power for life and service and the bestowal of spiritual gifts and their use in ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4, 8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31).
b) The initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit directs (Acts 2:4). The speaking in tongues in this case is essentially the same as the gift of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:4-10, 28), but is different in purpose and use.
8) Financial Stewardship
We believe that financial stewardship is the duty and privilege of all Christians, who as faithful stewards of Christ contribute to the support and extension of the work with their offerings, first fruits and tithes.
9) Sanctification
Sanctification is an act of separation from all evil and dedication to God (Romans 12:1).
10) The Church and its mission
The church is the body of Christ, the dwelling place of God through the Holy Spirit to carry out the great commission. Every believer, born of the Holy Spirit, is an integral part of the church (Ephesians 1:22, 23; 2:22; Hebrews 12:23).
11) The Ministry
The ministry constitutes a divine calling and is intended to lead the church in the evangelization of the world (Eph. 4:11-16
12) Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel (Isa 53:4-5; Matt. 8:16-17).

14) The Millennial Reign of Christ

15) The Last Judgment
