We Believe

The Bible is the inspired Word of God written in human words and is the only Holy Book which is completely true and trustworthy in all it affirms.
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal, future return to this earth in power and glory to rule the world.
In the blessed Hope - the rapture of the church at Christ’s coming.
The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
In water baptism by immersion for only those who have regenerated.
The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer.
The baptism in the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask for it.
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Holy Life.
In the resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
