We believe....

• The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the only reliable source for sound doctrine.  (II Timothy 3:15-17.)
• There is only one God (Deut 6:4) & He is the creator of heaven, earth & all living things. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), in His son Jesus Christ (Savior), & through the Holy Spirit (indwelling Spirit.)  Jesus is God manifested in flesh. He is both God & man. (Eph 4:4-6; Col 2:9; I Tim 3:16.)
• Everyone has sinned & needs salvation. Salvation is received by grace through faith.  As the author of salvation, Jesus made it clear that to enter the Kingdom of God a person needed to be born again.  Peter preached the same message on the Day of Pentecost with the clear application of their faith:  Repent, be baptized in Jesus name for the remissions of sins and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  (Heb 5:9, John 3:3-5, Acts 2:38)
• The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). (I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)
• As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14)
• Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (See I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.)
