Articles of Faith:
We believe that the Bible is the infallible word of God given to man by the Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)

n entered the world that man is in a fallen state at birth. Each individual must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to obtain salvation. (Romans 3:10; 3:23; 5:12; 10:9-10)
We believe in being "Born Again" into the newness of life at the day of salvation. An Outward sign of a life that has been changed by repentance must accompany this.(John 3:1-21; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is an act separate and distinct from the New Birth. With the initial physical evidence of speaking in tongues and receiving power from God to be a witness for Him. (Matthew 3:11; John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; 2:4;2:38-39)

We believe in tithing into the local church. We believe that God is our source of all blessings and that He loves and rewards a cheerful giver. ( Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7-8)
We believe in the resurrection of the dead in which those who believed on Christ will inherit eternal life and those who did not believe will inherit eternal damnation. (Hebrews 9:27; Romans 2:4-11; 6:23)
