Statement of Beliefs:
The Bible is the infallible word of God, and is the final authority that governs this local church, according to scripture 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
That God is the Creator of the Universe and mankind; that he is our sovereign Father in his infinite power, love, majesty, wisdom, holiness, justice and glory according to scripture Genesis 1:1-31
That Jesus is the only begotten son of God, born of a virgin; was fully human and divine, died on a cross for the sins of mankind; was buried and rose on the third day with all power, ascended back to Heaven and now sits on the right hand of his Father. He is the word made flesh, and there is no other way by which mankind can be saved! Luke 1: 27-35, St. John 1:1-3; St. John 14:6; St. Mark 16:19
The Holy Ghost is the Comforter sent by God the Father, and is our regenerator; He indwells us, instructs us, teaches us, guides us, and convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and is the giver of all spiritual gifts as He wills. St. John 14:16-17; I Corinthians 12: 4-11
That Salvation is a free gift received by grace through faith, and cannot be earned by good works. After confession with our mouth that we believe Jesus is the Son of God who died for our sins and rose on the third day, and now sits on the right hand of his Father, and when we repent of our sins and believe with our hearts unto righteousness, we are saved. Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10.
That Water Baptism alone does not save us; but after confession and repentance of sin, we are baptized as a show of good conscience toward God 1Peter 3:21.
That Holy Ghost Baptism is necessary in order to live a victorious and holy life, and that all believers should desire and tarry for this baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 2:1-4
In All Spiritual Gifts and their manifestations; word of wisdom, word of knowledge; faith, healing, working of miracles; prophecy, discerning of spirits; divers kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues. I Corinthians 12:4-11.
That Heaven and Hell are real and eternal, and that those who die in the Lord will live in Heaven and the unsaved who die will reside in the torments of Hell. St.John 14:1-3; Luke 16:19-31; Revelation 20:11-15.
