We Believe:

1. In one God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The creator of all things.

2. That the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, crucified, died, was buried, resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now at the right hand of God the Father, the true God and true man.

3. The Bible, in its entirety to the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.

4. In the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved and the eternal punishment of the lost.

5. In personal salvation of believers through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

6. In sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit.

7. In deliverance and divine healing though faith in the name of Jesus Christ, and that deliverance and healing are included in the redemption.

8. In water baptism by immersion after the person experiences salvation.

9. In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as distinct from the new birth, in the gifts of the Spirit and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that all of these are available to all believers.

10. In the Christian’s hope - the soon coming personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

11. In evangelism and missionary work in accordance with the Christian commission.(Matt. 28:19)

12. In the five fold ministry as stated in Ephesians 4:11: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.
