Our Statement of
Faith:
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.
He exists in three personalities: the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three
are co-equal and are one God.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
He lived a sinless human life and offered Himself
as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people
by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after
three days to demonstrate His power over sin and
death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and
will return again someday to earth to reign as
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
The Holy Spirit is present in
the world to make men aware of their need for
Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from
the moment of salvation, providing power for living,
understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance
in doing what is right. |

The baptism of the Holy Spirit
is given to every believer upon conversion and
places them into the body of Christ; the baptism
in the Holy Spirit is an experience subsequent
to conversion that comes about by yielding the
complete person to the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit. The infilling of the Holy Spirit manifests
as: 1) an overwhelming presence of God, 2) an
evident transformation in the lives and witness
of the people, 3) an impetus for the growth of
the church, 4) an immediate evidence of speaking
in tongues, and 5) an empowerment to witness and
a deeper dimension of gratitude, humility, fruitfulness
and operation of the Holy Spirit’s gifts
in their midst.
The Bible is God’s Word
to us. It was written by human authors, under
the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.
It is the supreme source of truth for Christian
beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by
God, it is the truth without any mixture of error. People are made in the spiritual
image of God, to be like Him in character. Although
every person has tremendous potential for good,
all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience
toward God called “sin”. This attitude
separates people from God and causes many problems
in life. Salvation is God’s free
gift to us but we must accept it. We can never
make up for our sin by good works. Only by trusting
in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness
can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty.
When we turn from our self-ruled life to Jesus
in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the
moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life
by faith.
People were created to exist forever.
We will either exist eternally separated from
God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness
and salvation. The one who physically dies in
his sins without Christ is hopelessly and eternally
lost in the lake of fire and therefore has no
further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting.
Heaven and the Lake of Fire are real places of
eternal existence. Baptism in water is by immersion,
is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for
believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the
Christian’s identification with Christ in
His death, burial, and resurrection. Healing is for the physical ills of the human
body and is wrought by the power of God through
faith. It is provided by the redemption of Christ,
and it is the privilege of every member of the
church today.
