Statement Of Faith
WE BELIEVE:
1. In ONE God, the God of Israel (Jehovah), Creator of the world. Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was the physical manifestation of God Almighty. God is manifest as the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Ghost in regeneration and these three manifestations constitute the one singular person of God. Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, manifested His divinity through healings and miraculous, supernatural works; died by crucifixion, and was literally, physically raised up (resurrected) from the dead three days afterwards by the power of God.

2. The Holy Bible is the only authority and source of truth for the church as it relates to doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. Bible References
3. That all humanity is born into a sinful state and can only be saved through obedience (based upon faith) to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel message that was preached by the apostles and the early Christian church is clearly stated in Acts 2:38. Bible References
4. That the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including Divine Healing and Prophecy are present in and essential to the Church of Jesus Christ as evidence of the Lord's resurrection and divinity. Bible References
5. That all humanity is called to be "Born Again." This requires that all converts to Biblical Christianity submit to water baptism "in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins" immediately after repenting and turning to faith and belief in the resurrected Christ. That the Holy Ghost Baptism is available to all who turn to the Lord in faith for salvation and that this experience is accompanied with the initial evidenced of speaking with other tongues (other, unlearned languages) as the Spirit of the Lord enables.

7. That the Hebrew Law was fulfilled by Christ at Calvary, and is no longer binding upon the hearts and lives of God's people. That the Christian life is marked by adherence to the principals and teachings of Jesus Christ and His apostles as articulated in the writings of the New Testament. Bible References
8. That the local church fellowship supports the local ministry (pastor) through the consistent discipline of Tithing. Offerings are given to support the church facilities, ministries, and functions. Bible References
9. That the Lord Jesus Christ is soon to appear to redeem His purchased possession (the "Rapture" of the church), the Born Again people of God. Bible References
10. Saints will reign throughout eternity on the renovated and remade earth as kings and priests unto God, who shall occupy the (singular) throne of God and of the Lamb. Bible References
