We believe in one living and true God, eternal and of infinite power, wisdom, goodness and righteousness.
He is a loving and faithful God who is the Creator and preserver of all things. (Genesis 1:1; Jeremiah 10:10;
1 Timothy 1:17). In the unity of the Godhead bodily. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit function in
complete agreement with one another and as one counsel or governing body. Hence we believe in the "Divine Union" established in John 1:1 that the Word was with God in the beginning and was God and that Jesus is the Word made flesh. We believe that God has entrusted the church with the responsibility of overseeing the Ministry of Reconciliation and answering completely to the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ as the head of the body.

2. The Son of God - Jesus Christ

We believe in the divine nature and birth of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son. That Jesus was conceived
by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary. That Jesus was both Man and Divine in that he partook of flesh (earthly) and blood (divine). That the flesh was of the earth but that His (Jesus') blood came from the Heavenly Father and remained pure and spotless in order to redeem man through the sacrifice of the lamb of God at Calvary.

Jesus walked on earth, suffered at the hands of men, was crucified, died and buried as a sacrifice for the sins
of all. The purpose was to restore our relationship to God which is broken by sin (disobedience) (Luke 1:27; 31:35; John 3:16; Romans 5:10; Ephesians 5:2). Jesus was risen from the dead after 3 days and 3 nights in order to fulfill the prophecy, the law and Judean custom. That Jesus ascended into heaven in full victory over Satan and sin. He is now our advocate with the Father (1 John 2:1) and intercedes for the body of believers to God the Father (Matthew 28:5-9; Luke 24:4-7)

3. The Holy Spirit (The Comforter)

We believe that Jesus promised to send the Comforter to us who would guide us in all truth and teach us things
concerning Jesus. That the Holy Spirit is not only a Comforter that comes from God but that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to do the daily work of the ministry. We believe that the Holy Spirit gives us power to live a holy life and empowers us to receive revelation, faith and healing.

4. The Authority of The Scriptures

We believe that the Sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments combined constitute the Canon of Holy Scripture; no book may be added or deleted. The Holy Bible is inspired and inerrant (that is, without error or failure of basic contents and meaning in the original manuscripts). The Holy Bible contains all the necessary truth to lead men and women into salvation. (Psalm 19:7; John 17:17; Romans 15:4; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17).

5. Man

We believe that mankind was created for God's glory and in His own image (Genesis 1:27), but because of Adam's sin (disobedience) man inherits a corrupt nature that inclines him to do wrong (Genesis 3:6; 6:5; Romans 5:12).

Man is not capable of achieving a life without sin on his own (Proverbs 20:9; Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16).
Because man is created in God's own image, we have a "God-likeness" which includes knowledge between right and wrong, the ability to choose which course we will take, and the responsibility for our actions, or our choices (Joshua 24:15; 1 Kings 20:40; John 7:17).

6. Salvation

We believe that Jesus Christ, the Living Son of God, was given by God as a sacrifice for the sins of all men. Christ died on a tree to redeem man from the curse of the Law and to mend the broken relationships which were caused by man's sin of disobedience. This severed relationship between God and man may be restored into perfect harmony through belief in Jesus Christ by faith, and not on the basis of our works (Galatians 5:4,5; Ephesians 2:8-9).

This belief and faith in Jesus Christ, recognizing Him as Lord an Savior, gives men and women the free gift of eternal life (John 1:29; 3:16; 1 Corinthians 5:7; Ephesians 5:2; 1 Peter 1:19). After receiving salvation by faith through belief in Jesus Christ, the "born-again" (John 3:3; Romans 10:9,10) believer may live free from the judgment of God, by living a life according to the teaching of the scriptures and trusting the Holy Spirit for the power to live a holy life according to God's word.

We believe that after we have experienced regeneration it is possible to fall into sin, for in this life there is no
such height or strength of holiness from which it is impossible to fall. But by the grace of God one who has fallen into sin may, by confession and true repentance, find forgiveness and restored fellowship with God (Matthew 18:21,22; 1 John 1:9; 2:1, 24-25).

7. Good Works

We believe that man is not saved by Works but that he is saved unto Good Works. The born again believer pleases God through obedience to the scriptures.

8. Sanctification

We believe that sanctification is the work of God through the power of the Holy Spirit, making the believer pure in heart and totally committed and dedicated to God. This work is both instantaneous and gradual (or progressive). It begins when a person is saved and continues throughout life. In this process of sanctification there is a time when the believer is convicted (moved) by the Holy Spirit to become more Christ-like in their dedication and commitment to the church family and ministry. There is no black and white time line involved; for some this occurs soon following salvation and for others much time elapses. But for all believers sanctification is the will of God (1 Thessalonians 4:3).

Sanctification is the point in life when a believer renounces the desire to live for self and desires to live totally for
the glory of God. Christ indeed becomes Lord of your life. The believer is then empowered by the Holy Spirit, making him able to live a life of holiness. This does not mean perfection of the believer, but purity of body, soul and spirit (Deuteronomy 30:6: Luke 1:74-75; Acts 15:8-9; 1 Corinthians 6:11; Ephesians 4:13,24; 1 Thessalonians 4:3,7; James 4:8).

9. Gifts, Manifestations and Fruit of the Spirit

We believe that the Father has given spiritual gifts to all believers for the purpose of building up the body of Christ and bringing glory to God. The gifts are to be exercised in love and emphasize the need for unity (1 Corinthians 12:4, 11, 18, 21-25; Ephesians 4:11-16).

The scriptures are clear that their is a difference between gift, fruit and manifestation. God gives us the gift of eternal life at salvation. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God empowers us to manifest his power through nine manifestations which are given "severally as He wills." Finally the reward of a consistent Christian walk is the fruit of the Spirit. There are other functions in the body of Christ that are considered gifts, and these are gifts or abilities from man to the church, such as governments, helps, ministry, teaching etc.

Concerning Speaking in Tongues and the Interpretation of Tongues: We believe that both of these manifestations are scriptural and that they played a dynamic role in early church history. We believe that the expression or manifestation of tongues in a worship setting is not recommended unless interpreted according to 1 Corinthians 14. We believe that it is contrary to the teaching of God's word to teach that Speaking in tongues, is the ONLY evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-24). The only true evidence of any "born-again" believer is known by the 'fruit' that they bear and the Love of God that radiates from their life-style.

The unity of the body of Christ is of the utmost importance, therefore only a language readily understood by the
congregation is to be used in public worship (1 Corinthians 12:1; 14:40).

10.The Gathering Together (Rapture- Parousia) and the Second Coming of Christ

We believe that those who have not accepted Christ as their personal Savior and are unrepentant will be judged and must suffer eternal punishment (Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 25:31-46; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 2:16). We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ to receive His believers into heaven and eternal life. The time of His return is unknown and reserved to the Father alone. We believe in the final return of Jesus Christ and the vengeance of the Lord our God when Jesus will come in triumphant glory as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4; 1 Thessalonians 5; James 5:7-8; Revelation 22:12,20).
