We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. We accept it as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine.


We believe in one God, in three manifestations, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ can also manifest Himself in many ways.  He was the the Deliverer who would come out of Zion. (Romans 11:26)
He was the Rock. (1 Corinthians 10:4)  He was of the seed of David. (2 Timothy 2:8) He was of the tribe of Judah. (Hebrews 7:14)  He was God in the Old, and God in the New Testament.


We believe that man was created in the likeness and the image of God, but that through Adam's transgression and fall, sin entered the world and therefore man must be redeemed and restored back to God through the work of Jesus Christ, the Son of God in the flesh, and the great GOD of Heaven, our Savior, that the new birth is necessary to all men and, when fulfilled, produces eternal life. We must be born of the water and the Spirit as shown in the Apostles doctrine and preached and practiced in the book of Acts and throughout the New Testament.


We believe that baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. Baptism is an outward symbol of the Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.

We believe that the baptism in the Holy Ghost is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to those who are believers and is received subsequent to the new birth and that this experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance.
 
ACTS 2:32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

 33Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

 34For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

 35Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

 36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

 37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

 39For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.

 40And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

 41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

 42And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

 43And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

 44And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

 45And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

 46And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

 47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.


We believe in divine healing for the physical ills of the human body, that it is provided for in the atonement of Christ, is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith and by the laying on of hands, and that is the privilege of every believer.


We believe in the imminent return of our Lord, in the resurrection of the just at His return, in the rising of the saints to meet Him in the air.
