We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God.

We believe in one God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things.

We believe Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and                           was born of a virgin. He was fully God and fully man. He lived a sin-
                      less life, was crucified and died a substitutionary death, was buried
                      and then rose bodily from the deand and ascended into heaven. He
                      is now seated at the right hand of God and will come again to receive
                      His Church and reward every man according to his works.

We believe all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and are in need of
                     salvation. Salvation has been provided through the shed blood of
                     Jesus Christ for all men, by grace, through faith and not works.

We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and
                     we believe in personal holiness, purity of heart and life.

We believe Water Baptism by immersion is the symbol of the believer's identi-
                     fication with Christ's death, burial and resurrection. It is a direct com-
                     mandment from the Lord for all believers.

We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in
                     tongues and the Gifts of the Spirit are available to all believers as
                     endowments for life and service.

We believe in the laying on of hands.

We believe in the observance of the Lord's Supper/Communion.

We believe healing is provided in the redemptive work of Christ, accomplished
                     by the power of God and is availabe to every believer.

We believe in the Christian's hope; the soon-coming return of the Lord Jesus
                     Christ and the bodily resurrection for the just and the unjust. Eternal
                     salvation will be the inheritance of all believers who have received
                     Jesus Christ as Savior and eternal damnation and punishment will
                     be ththat of all unbelievers, those who have rejected Jesus Christ.

We believe there is one universal Church with Christ as its head. Christ's Church
                     is comprised of all true believers, regardless of denominational
                     affiliation.

We believe that all velievers are to obey the command given and lived by Jesus
                     in Matthew 28:19 which reads, "Go and make disciples".
