Our
Ministry
We
believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God
We
believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We
believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, that Christ is the only
begotten Son of God, and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe that
Christ died for sins, was buried, and raised from the dead. We
believe that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand
of the Father as our intercessor.
We
believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
and that repentance is necessary for the forgiveness of sin.
We
believe that justification is by faith alone, and that regeneration
or the new-birth is through faith in the blood of Christ.
We
believe that sanctification is subsequent to regeneration and
is a second definite, instantaneous work of grace obtained by
faith of the fully justified believer.
We
believe that the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Spirit is an
enduement of power for those who have clean hearts, and the initial
evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with
other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.
We
believe that the saved should receive water baptism, in the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as a testimony to
the world that they have accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord.
We
believe in divine healing as provided through the atonement. We
believe in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper as commemorating
Christ's death and anticipating His Second Coming and foot washing.
We
believe in the personal premillennial, Second Coming of Jesus;
first to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living
saint to meet Him in the air, second, to reign with Him and His
saints on earth a thousand years.
We
believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost,
the saved to life eternal and the lost to everlasting judgment.
