Our church accepts these scriptures as the revealed will of God, and teaches these fundamental truths as our doctrine:
The Bible
The bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God. 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12
One True God
There is one, true Godhead, comprised of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All are co-equal and co-eternal. Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the
Godhead. Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1
Man was created in God’s image.
By voluntary transgression he fell and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the son of God. Genesis 1:26-31; Romans 5:12-21
Man’s only hope of redemption is through Jesus Christ.
On the cross, Jesus Christ became sin and sickness, providing both salvation and healing for all mankind. This salvation comes by believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with your mouth Jesus as Lord. The inward evidence to the believer is the direct witness of the Spirit. The outward evidence to all men is a life of true holiness and
love. Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and not by human works. However, our works are evidence of our faith and will determine our reward
Baptism by Water
Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ and that they have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4
Communion
We remember what Jesus did for us by celebrating the Lord’s Supper. We do this by eating the bread and drinking of the cup. 1 Corinthians 11:24
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
All believers should seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The promise has been made to each believer. Our responsibility is to ask for and receive the baptism, according to the command of Jesus Christ. With this comes the empowerment for life and service. This experience is distinct from, and should follow the new birth. Luke 24:49; Acts 2:1-4; 2:38-39;10:44-46 ; 11:14-16; 15:7-9
Speaking in Other Tongues
Speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance is the initial evidence and physical sign of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service, and a holy life is further evidence of this baptism. Acts 1:8; 2:4; 10:44
Church is the body of Christ
Each believer is an integral part. Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 1 Corinthians 12:1
