what we believe

basic principles

We believe Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, and is true God. He died upon the cross, and all who believe in Him are justified. He arose from the dead, and is now at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest. We also believe the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, who came also to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and of judgment.

 

holy spirit

We believe that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit. As such, all who believe should be separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to His divine purpose, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. We also believe prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are privileges for the church in this present age as taught in the scriptures.

born again

 

We believe the church consists of those who believe in Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. The church has been commissioned by Him to go into the world as a witness. The local church is a body of believers who are joined together for worship, edification through the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, and observances of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Finally, we believe the second coming of Christ is imminent.
