THE ONENESS OF GOD

We firmly believe in the Scriptural teaching of the Oneness of God, as described in Deuteronomy 6:4: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD." This belief is also supported in the New Testament, as Apostle Paul wrote: "One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." (Isa. 44:6-8, 45:5; Col. 2:9; Eph. 4:5–6)

CHRISTIAN LIVING

As Christians, we are called to love God and love others. Our worship of God should be joyful and we should strive to lead a life that is pleasing to Him in every way—our thoughts, words, lifestyle, and actions. The Bible teaches us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and it is through the Holy Spirit that we are empowered to live a life that pleases God. We believe that the supernatural gifts of the Spirit are still active in the church today and are accessible to all believers who are filled with the Spirit. (Mark 12:28-31; 1 Cor. 6:19, 12:8-10; 2 Cor. 7:1; Rom. 8:13-14; Gal. 5:19-26; Heb. 12:14)

BEING BORN AGAIN

We believe that the new-birth experience is comprised of repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. This is the New Testament pattern for all believers to follow as a result of their faith in Christ. (Acts 2:38; Luke 13:1-5; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:5-6)

SALVATION

We believe that salvation is only found in Jesus Christ and is appropriated to humanity by God’s grace through the New Testament new-birth experience. (Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8; John 3:3-7)

THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that when a person receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that person will speak with other tongues under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:4; Acts 19:6; Isaiah 28:11)

HOLY LIVING

We believe that God’s people are called to live a holy, pure life before God and all humanity. (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; Hebrews 12:14)

THE NAME OF JESUS

We believe that the authority of God is vested in the Name of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-10; Matthew 7:22; Mark 16:7; John 14:14; Acts 4:12).  All the believer does “in word or deed” is to be done in Jesus’ Name (Colossians 3:17). The Name of Jesus becomes our new “family name” (I Corinthians 1:12-15; Romans 6:4: II Corinthians 5:17.

THE SECOND COMING

We believe that the church will be raptured by Christ and will be with Him forever in eternity. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52; 1 Thessalonians 1:10)

MIRACLES

We believe that God’s power is still active in the church and that healings, signs, and miracles are available to God’s people through faith in Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 13:8; 1 Corinthians 2:4; 1 Peter 2:24)
