Statement of Faith |

We believe...
In the Holy Bible as the inspired and only infallible Word of God.
In the one true God, revealed in the Scriptures as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His bodily ressurection, His acension to the right hand of the Father, and His visual and bodily return to set up His kingdom on the earth.
In water baptism as identifies the believer with Christ's death, burial and resurrection.
In the baptism of the Holy Ghost as a separate, distinct experience, subsequent to salvation, providing power for life and service, and accompanied by speaking in tongues.
In the manifestation of all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit in the local assembly, God dividing the gifts amongst the believers severally as He wills.
In the laying on of hands by qualified and anointed ministry for blessing, dedication, confirmation, healing, ordination, and impartation of spiritual gifts.
In individual and collective praise and worship and that all expressions of praise recorded in the Holy Bible are meant for practice in the church today.
In the creation of man as good, the fall of man from his original state into sin, from which he has no power to redeem himself.
In the all-sufficient atonement by the blood of Christ to cleanse anyone who believes on Him and responds through repentance and faith in Christ alone, and eternal damnation for those who reject Him and die in their sins.
In man's total depravity, but that his depravity is moral, not physical, thus man is able to repent and call on God.
In the all sufficient grace of God for salvation and man's freewill ability to resist or accept God's grace.
In a life of holiness and separation from the world and sin, no longer serving them, but serving the Lord with a pure heart.
In the church as the Body of Christ, a group of "called out ones," chosen to reveal God's plan and purpose in the earth, and the local expression of this church functioning under the guidiance of the five-fold ministry.
