Home Beliefs Service Ministries Guest book Links 1) We believe in the One living and true GOD, both Holy and loving, eternal, the Creator and sustainer of all things, existent in three persons of one essential nature: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

2) We believe in the DEITY of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His atonement for the sins of mankind, His physical resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God, and His imminent, soon return.

3) We believe  the Holy Spirit is a very real person, one with the Father and the Son, and that He is the agent of God in creation, preservation, revelation and the redemptive process of all creation.
4) We believe in the plenary inspiration of the BIBLE; that it is the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God containing all that is needful for mans ultimate salvation.

5) We believe in the "free moral agency" of mankind and that on this rests every individuals role and responsibility to repent and believe for the salvation of the soul.

6) We believe in the Free Grace of God, unearned and undeserved, yet freely offered to "Whosoever will..."; "for by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God", and that without this grace mankind could never be saved.

7) We believe in the atonement of Jesus Christ that not only can we know our sins are forgiven, but that by the same atonement our hearts can be purified and we can be made perfect in LOVE, and thereby fulfill the law to  "love the LORD our God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind, and with all our strength; and our neighbor as ourself".

8) We believe that THE CHURCH is the visible body of Christ, that it is essential for our following Christ on this earth, and that to reject the Church is to reject Christ Himself. He established it to become His Bride and all truly born-again believers have the privilege of being a part of this church.

9) We believe that there is a literal hell even as the Bible describes it, and that it will be occupied by the devil and his followers.

10) We believe that there is a very real Heaven, a place where all who have accepted and followed Christ will live after this life; and that Jesus Christ is, at this very hour, preparing this place special for His followers.

11) We believe that there is a person known as the Devil, that he is the source and influence of all evil on the earth, that he has already been judged of God and will one day be cast into the Lake of Fire, along with all who follow him, as their eternal destruction.

12) We believe in the literal resurrection of the living and the dead. Those dying in Christ to be raised to live forever with Him, and those sill alive to be caught up to eternal Blessedness with Him.
