Doctrinal Statement

Our general position on significant doctrinal issues .

We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible and that it is the inerrant Word of God.

We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons -- the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried and was resurrected from the dead. That He ascended into 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 commanded of God and is necessary for the forgiveness of sins.

We believe that the new birth is a result of Faith in the shed blood of Jesus which brings about justification and regeneration of the believer.

We believe within the body of Christ, the Church, each believer has a responsibility to God and their fellow man to find their divine place within its members that the Church might be edified and fulfill the Great Commission by the directing and operation of the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Rapture, Tribulation, and judgments of God to come upon this world in the last days, the Great White Throne Judgment, and the existence of Heaven for all the righteous and the eternal burning hell for all the wicked.

  Article Two  We believe that the Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead and the manhood were joined together in one Person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, very God and perfect man, who actually suffered, was crucified, dead, and buried, to reconcile the Father to us, and to make atonement, not only for our actual guilt, but also for original sin.

  Article Four  We believe the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty and glory with the Father and the Son, very and eternal God.

  Article Six We believe that eternal life with God in heaven is a portion of the reward of the finally righteous; and that everlasting banishment from the presence of the Lord and unending torture in hell are the wages of the persistently wicked (Matthew 25:46; Psalm 9:17; Revelation 21:7-8).   

  Article Seven We believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood for the remission of sins that are past, for the regeneration of penitent sinners, and for salvation from sin and from sinning (Romans 3:25; 1 John 3:5-10; Ephesians 2:1-10).

  Article Eight We believe, teach, and firmly maintain the scriptural doctrine of justification by faith alone (Romans 5:1).  

   Article Nine  We believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood for the complete cleansing of the justified believer from all indwelling sin and from its pollution, subsequent to regeneration (1 John 1:7-9).

  Article Eleven We believe that the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:5; 2:14, 8-17; 10:44-46; 19:6).

  Article Twelve We believe in divine healing as in the atonement (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:14-18; James 5:14-16; Exodus 15:26).   

  Article Thirteen  We believe in the imminent, personal, premillennial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 3:1-4; Matthew 24:29-44), and love and wait for His appearing (2 Timothy 4:8).
