Core Beliefs

1. The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, and the final authority for doctrine and salvation. 
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God…” – 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

2. One God
We believe in One God, who has revealed Himself as Father in creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Ghost in regeneration. His name is Jesus. 
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” – Deuteronomy 6:4 (KJV)
“God was manifest in the flesh…” – 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

3. Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh, fully God and fully man. He is the visible image of the invisible God and the only name given for salvation. 
“In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” – Colossians 2:9 (KJV)

4. Salvation
We believe the New Testament plan of salvation is: 

• Repentance – having a godly sorrow and turning from sin
• Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ – for the remission of sins  
• Receiving the Holy Ghost

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:5 (KJV)

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38 (KJV)

5. The Holy Ghost
We believe the Holy Ghost is essential for salvation. It is the Spirit of Christ living in the believer, giving power to live a holy life, and is initially evidenced by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. 
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues…” Acts 2:4 (KJV)

6. Holiness
We believe that believers are called to live a life of separation from sin and dedication to God, both inwardly and outwardly. Holiness is a work of the Spirit and a response of love and obedience. 
“Be ye holy; for I am holy.” – 1 Peter 1:16 (KJV)
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14 (KJV)

7. The Church
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ and was born on the Day of Pentecost. It continues today in power and truth through the same Apostolic doctrine and Spirit-filled experience. 
“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine…” Acts 2:42 (KJV)

8. The Second Coming of Christ
We believe that Jesus is coming again to catch away His Church (the Rapture). We look forward to His return and eternal life with Him. 
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout…” 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (KJV)
