Our beliefs ...
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and in its divine authority. We believe in God as creator and sustainer of the universe. God so loved his creation that he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to save the world.
We believe that Jesus was both God and man, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life. He was crucified and died as a penalty for our sins and was bodily resurrected from the dead on the third day. He ascended to the Father’s right hand, where he is the head of the church and from where he is coming again to personally claim his bride, the church.
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, dwells within all believers. He fills and refills believers in response to their yielding to his holy will. We believe the Holy Spirit was given for us to minister to needs both inside and outside of the church.
We practice water baptism by immersion; regular celebration of communion, prayer, and anointing with oil for physical, mental, and spiritual needs; and public use of an altar for prayer and petition, as well as confessing needs to God.
