Statement of Faith

WE BELIEVE:

1. The Scriptures: We believe the Bible to be the Divine Word of God written by Holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. We accept the new Testament as our guide in matters pertaining to Christian Living and Doctrine.
 
2. The Godhead: We believe in the triune Godhead; God, the Father; Jesus, the Son; and the Holy Ghost, each being a distinct personality.
 
3. The New Birth: We believe that man was created in a state of innocence but because of the fall of Adam, sin was imputed to all mankind, and all human beings are born with a sinful nature. We also believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, becoming a substitutionary sacrifice and that all who repent and believe on Him shall be saved.
 
4. Eternal Life: We believe that the just shall experience joy and life in the presence of God and that the unjust shall experience torment and death.
 
5. The Church: We believe that the Church is the body of Christ of which He is Head. The true Church consists of those who have been "Born Again," accepting the provisions which Christ has made for our Salvation.
 
6. The Ministry: We believe in the ministry as recorded in Ephesians, Chapter Four, as a divine calling or gift as an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a pastor, or a teacher; these being for the perfecting of the Saints and the edifying of the body of Christ.
 
7. Water Baptism: We believe in water baptism by immersion as was commanded by Christ in Matthew 28:19.
 
8. Baptism of the Holy Ghost: We believe that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is the gift of God to all believers and that He is accompanied by the speaking in other tongues as experienced by those in the Upper Room.
 
9. Sanctification: We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace.
 
10. Divine Healing: We believe in divine healing as practiced by Christ in His earthly ministry and that it is the privilege of every believer to partake of this blessing.
 
11. Tithing: We believe Tithing is God's plan for support of His ministers and that paying tithes is compulsory for anyone who is a Christian.
