1. We believe that the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, inerrant in their original autographs. They are the authoritative source by which all Christian doctrine and ministry should be judged.
2. We believe in One God Who exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. He is the everlasting Word, the eternal Son of God. He does not change. He is the Messiah promised in the Old Testament. He was born of a virgin, was crucified, and died. He rose from the grave. He ascended into Heaven, where He sits at the Right Hand of the Father. He is coming back again.
4. We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the atoning work which Jesus Christ accomplished for us at the cross, by shedding His Blood. Participation by Believers in Water Baptism is a physical sign of this cleansing. We also celebrate the Lord's Supper in remembrance of Jesus.
5. We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Believer is enabled to live a holy life. Baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask God for it.
6. We believe that the redemptive work of Jesus Christ's shed Blood and broken body provides for the healing of the human being in every way.
7. We believe that all Christians are called through the Great Commission to do the works of Jesus here upon the earth. The Holy Spirit gives gifts unto Believers so that they may accomplish that work.
8. We believe the dead will be resurrected in the Last Judgment. Eternal torment is the punishment of those who are lost, while eternal life is the reward of those faithful to believe in and follow Jesus Christ.

Heb.
2:3-4: (KJV) How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation;
which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed
unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both
with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy
Ghost, according to his own will?
Mark
16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall

shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after
the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat
on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every
where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen.

pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Luke
4:18 through Luke 4:20 (TMNT) Jesus said: "God's Spirit is on me; he's

announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set
the burdened and battered free, to announce, `This is God's year to
act!' "
