There is One and only One living and true God. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--three distinct Persons--with distinct personal attributes. But without division of nature, essence, or being. [See Matthew 3:13-17, Matthew 28:18-20, John 1:1, John 14:26, John 17:3, Romans 3:30, James 2:19]

God the Father reigns with care over His created universe, and over all His creatures, including man, who is created in His image.God orchestrates human history according to the purpose of HIs grace. God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ. [See Ephesians 1:3-10, John 3:1]

Christ is the eternal Son of God. Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the Cross,He made provision for the redemption of men from sin.

He was physically raised from the dead on the third day and ascended into Heaven. He is seated at the right hand of the Father as the Head of the Church. [See John 1:1, Hebrews 1:3, Matthew 1:18, Hebrews 5:8, Ephesians 1:7, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Acts 1:9, Hebrews 10:12, Ephesians 1:20-21]

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and is fully divine. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He calls men to Christ and effects regeneration. He supernaturally produces Christian character and comforts believers. He bestows spiritual gifts by which believers serve God through His Church. The Holy Spirit seals believers unto the day of final redemption. He empowers believers in worship, evangelism, and service. [See 2 Corinthians 3:17, John 16:8-14, Titus 3:5, Galatians 5:22-23, Joh 14:16-21, 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Ephesians 1:13-14, Acts 1:8]

Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God.But through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world.Man thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death and all of its ramifications. Man's willful transgression brought about separation from God and put the entire human race in need of redemption.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil. He gave His life and shed HIs blood to redeem and restore man back to God. Because man is created in God's image, every person of every race possess dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love. [See Genesis 1:26-28, Romans 5:12-15, 1 Corinthian s 15:20-22, James 3:9, Romans 3:10, 23, Romans 5:14, 1 John 3:8]

Man's only hope of salvation is through the blood of Jesus Christ.Salvation is the gift of God to man. It is separate from the works of the law. It is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.

Salvation is received through repentance by acknowledging Jesus as Lord and placing one's faith in Christs's redemptive work alone. There is salvation in no other name. Salvation is necessary for all men and when it is experienced it produces eternal life. [See John 3:3-5, Ephesians 2:8-10, Acts 4:12, 2 Corinthians 7:10, 1 John 5:12]

We believe sanctification is a definite, yet progressive work of grace. It commences at the time of regeneration and continues until Christ's return. Sanctification is an ongoing process that occurs as a believer reckons himself dead to sin and alive to God, relies daily upon the power of the Holy spirit, and submits himself to the control of the Holy Spirit. [See 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Peter 3:18, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 3:12-14, 1 Corinthians 1:30]

The Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is alone the only infallible, inspired Word of God. Its authority is ultimate, final, and eternal. It cannot be added to, subtracted from, or suspended in any regard. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter.

The Bible is the source for all doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. It contains all that is needed for guidance in Godliness and practical Christian conduct. Scripture is inerrant and the authoritative rule of faith and conduct. [See 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:21]

The Church is the habitation of God through the Spirit on the earth. It is visibly experienced in the local congregation of believers who are related by faith and fellowship of the Gospel. Who also exercise the spiritual gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by grace. And who extend the gospel to the ends of the earth.

The local Church is commissioned by Christ to evangelize the lost in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is where Jesus followers worship and are perfected and matured. [See 1 Corinthians 1:2, Hebrews 10:25, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, Wa]

Scripture command all who repent and receive Jesus Christ as Lord to be water baptized. In this act, Christians declare to the world that they have invite Jesus into their life and have made the decision to live for Him. Water baptism is not a requirement for salvation. It is an outward declaration of salvation and a required part of embarking on a life of obedience for every Jesus follower. [See Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12, Acts 8:36-39]

Scripture established Communion as an ordinance to be celebrated until Jesus comes. The Lord's Supper consists of the elements -- bread and the fruit of the vine -- which represents the broken body and shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. It serves as symbols that remind us of our unbroken covenant with Him. In addition, healing and restoration are released as we receive the Communion elements and by faith appropriate the redemptive work of Jesus those elements represent. [See Matthew 16:26-28, Luke 22:19-20, John 6:48-51, Acts 2:42-46, 1 Corinthians11:17-34]

In His own time and in His own way, God will bring this age to its appropriate conclusion. At the end of this age, Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly. The dead will be raised, and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned to hell. The righteous will receive their reward and will dwell forever with the Lord. [See Matthew 16:27, 2 Corinthians 5:9-11, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3, Revelation 1:7, Revelation 22:21]

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death not the Cross. We believe in the return of the resurrected Christ for those alive on there earth and those preceding them in death. 

Both the saved and the lost will ultimately be resurrected — those who are seed to the resurrection of life. And those who are lost to eternal damnation and death. [See 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Revelation 20:6]

The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is eternally lost in the lake of fire. And therefore has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or of repenting. The lake of fire is literal. 

The term “eternal’ and “everlasting” describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the lake of fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the joy and ecstasy of the saved in the presence of God. [See Hebrew 9:27, Revelation 19:20]

The Bible teaches that there will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whoever is not found written in the Book of Life, along with the devil and his angels, the beast, and the false prophet. They will be consigned to everlasting punishment int eh lake that burns with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. [See Revelation20:6-15]

It is the duty and privilege of every Jesus follower and church to actively endeavor to make disciples of all nations. We are charged by Jesus to constantly seek to win the lost through our verbal witness, Godly lifestyle, and any other method in harmony with the Gospel of Christ.

In accordance to the Great Commission, every church should prayerfully and financially be committed to reach the ends of the earth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. [See Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8]

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a promise offered to all Jesus followers that is distinct from the new birth. With it comes power for life, power for service, and the granting of gifts of the Holy Spirit. [See Matthew 3:11, John 14:16, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, Acts 2: 38-39, Acts 19: 1-6]

The gifts of the Holy Spirit are supernatural endowments that equip Jesus followers. These gifts contribute to the edifying and building up of the Church. They also demonstrate Jesus power and character to the world. These gifts are operational in the Church today. The will continue to operate until the end of the Church Age. [See Romans 12:5-8, 1 Corinthians 1: 5-9, 1 Corinthians 12-14]

It is God’s will to heal the sick through various means, including but not limited to: the laying on of hands, the prayer of faith, anointing with oil, the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Healing is provided by the redemptive work of Jesus. [See Mark 16:18, James 5:14-15, 1 Peter 2:24, Matthew 8:17, Isaiah 53:4-5]

God is the source of all blessings. All that we have, we ultimately owe to Him. God commands His people to be good stewards. Christians are to serve Him with their time, talents, material possessions as He directs. [See Psalm 24:1, James 1:17, Matthew 25:21, 1 Peter 4:10, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7]

The Bible teaches that God ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. The family unit is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, of adoption [or connected through guardianship]. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in a lifetime marital covenant.

A husband is to love his wife as Christ loves the Church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, protect, and lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband. She is to respect him as the Church willingly submits to the headship of Christ.She is created int the image of God, as is her husband, and is thus equal to him.

Furthermore, from the moment of conception, children are a blessing and a heritage from the Lord. They are to be treasured and raised up according to the principles of Scripture. Parents are to demonstrate to their children God’s pattern for marriage. [See Ephesians 5:21-32, Ephesians 6:1-4, 1 Peter 3:1-9, Psalm 127:3-4, Deuteronomy 4:9-10, Deuteronomy 6:7]
