We believe that th
e Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was buried, was raised on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. He is fully God and fully man.
• John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”

• 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 – “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.”
• Mark 16:19 – “So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.”

We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God, the infallible rule of faith and conduct.

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, accomplished through His shed blood and atoning death.
• Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
• Romans 5:9 – “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.”

• 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 – “For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor.”

We believe in water baptism, the baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, and speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. We affirm the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life, all of which are available to believers today.
• Matthew 28:19 – “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

• 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 – “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.”
