HOLY BIBLE - We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written Word of God. The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Romans 16:25-26).
TRINITY - There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. ( I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Hebrews 3:7-11).
REDEMPTION - Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).
REGENERATION - For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (John 6:44, 65; Matthew 19:28; Titus 3:5).
SALVATION - We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22).
REPENTANCE - Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ. It is through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation (Acts 2:21, 3:19; I John 1:9).
SANCTIFICATION - Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ's character in us. (I Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; II Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18)
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT -
The Baptism of the Holy Ghost is the gift of power upon a clean, sanctified life. Luke 24:29; Matthew 3:11. Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to empower the Church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth (Joel 2:28-29; Acts 2)
THE CHURCH - We as believers are the Church and we come together as a local church in the same Spirit (Holy Spirit) as a Corporate Body of Christ. God‘s will and purpose being manifested through us for the fulfillment of Jesus' Great Commission, to go into the uttermost parts of this earth spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23).
