Our Beliefs

We believe that the Bible in its entirety is the inspired Word of God (John 1:1)

We believe that there is but one God and that He is One Person, Essence and Substance. He revealed Himself to the world in a three-fold manifestation as Father in creation, Son in redemption and Holy Spirit in regeneration in the church.

Man's only hope of salvation from sin and damnation is through accepting the vicarious sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary. Salvation is obtained in three steps: 1) Repentance, 2) Water Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ and 3) the infilling of the Holy Spirit. While faith and repentance are the conditions for salvation, the intial evidence of salvation is to to be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. A consistent Christian life is to follow the baptism of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38).
