The Holy Scriptures: We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16 &17; 2 Peter 1:21).
The Eternal Godhead: We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14;John 5:7).
The Fall Of Man: We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 3:3-24; Romans 5:12).
The Plan Of Salvation: We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Romans 9:10;).
Salvation Through Grace: We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Isaiah 64:6; Ephesians 2:8; 1 Thessalonians 2:13).
Repentance And Acceptance: We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (I John 1:9).
The New Birth: We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one (John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
Daily Christian Living: We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1; 12:14).
Baptism by submerging in water: We believe that baptism by submersion in water is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19).
The Lord's Supper: We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of the bread and wine (juice of the vine) (I Corinthians 11:24, 25).
Baptism With The Holy Spirit: We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days. Endowing us with various gifts as it took place at the day of Pentecost, receiving different gifts of tongues, healing, prophesying, etc... (Acts 2:4).
The Spirit-Filled Life: We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32).
The Gifts And Fruit Of The Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (I Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22).
Moderation: We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticisms (Philippians 4:5).
Divine Healing: We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).
The Second Coming Of Christ: We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17).
Church Relationship: We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).
Civil Government: We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1-5).
The Final Judgment: We believe that some day, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God, and there receive eternal life or death (2 Corinthians 5:10).
Heaven: We believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).
Hell: We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as their Savior (Mark 9:45; Luke 16:19;Revelation 20:10,15).
Evangelism: We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).
Tithes And Offerings: We believe that the method ordained by God for the support and spread of His cause is by the giving of tithes and free-will offerings (Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
Why God Can Not Be Seen: GOD is Holy and if He were to show himself to us, due to our sinful nature His presence would kill us. God is light and much like a laser beam would melt us His visible presence would do the same to us. (Exodus 33:18-23; Deuteronomy 5:22-33)
Why God Can Not Be Heard: GOD is Holy and if He were to talk to us, due to our sinful nature the pureness of His voice would destroy us. The same way a high note can break glass. (Exodus 33:18-23; Deuteronomy 5:22-33)
How To Find God: If we search for Him with all of our HEART, MIND & SOUL we will find him (Deut. 4:29, Jer. 29:13). In the same way we need a transistor radio to capture the frequency of sound waves in the air and turn them into music. Our holiness would be the equivalent to a transistor radio to hear or see God. (Hebrews 12:14; 1Peter 1:13-16)
We Can Become Holy By: By confessing our sins (1 John 1:9), accepting our Lord Jesus Christ as personal savior and turning away from our sinful ways (Romans 10:9), obeying His commandments (James 2:20-22), praying everyday to Him in the name of His son Jesus Christ and by the reading of His Word The HOLY BIBLE (John 14:13-14). If we listen with our hearts (spirit), not our ears He will give us instructions on how to find Him (1Kings 19:12). Most of us found Him through a sincere heart, but some of us had to fast and prayer.
In the beginning it won't be easy, but faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God Romans 10:17. Our desire to know and serve Him, will make it easy, and you too will be able to have a personal relationship with our Creator.
