    We Believe...

    1. The Scriptures are Inspired by God

    2. There is only One True God

    3. In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

    4. Man Willingly Fell to Sin

    5. Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation'

    6. and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion

    7. the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation

    8. The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’

    9. Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation

    10. The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin.

    11. A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church

    12. Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement

    13. ...in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming)

    14. ...in The Millennial Reign of Christ

    15. A Final Judgment Will Take Place

    16. ...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him.
