We believe that the Bible is the infallible, divinely inspired, written Word of God. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. Proper interpretation must take into account the sacred writer's intentions, use of language, style, and context.

There is only one God. He has revealed Himself as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Spirit (indwelling Spirit).

God is a Spirit. He is the Eternal One, the Creator of all things, and the Father of all humanity by creation. He is the First and the Last, and beside Him, there is no God. There was no God formed before Him; neither shall be there any after Him.

Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. He is the Son of God according to the flesh and the very God Himself according to the Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is returning as He promised.

The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God. He dwells in the hearts and lives of anyone who believes in and obeys the Gospel.

We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives. We all need salvation.

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and a fresh start with God, we must repent of our sins, believe in Jesus, and commit to His will for our lives. Salvation is freely offered to all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, regardless of age, gender, race, abilities, intellect, or sexual orientation. (Yes, we believe you can be both gay and saved.)

We believe that water baptism is a sacrament ordained by our Lord for the Church. We believe that baptism in the name of Jesus, representing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost is an outward symbol of an individual's true belonging to God. We also believe that full water immersion is the method of baptism practiced in the New Testament, and therefore, it is the appropriate method to be practiced by the Church.

• Prayer Language - We believe that speaking in tongues is the miraculous ability to speak in a heavenly or earthly language unknown to the speaker, as the Spirit gives utterance. “Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered.”
• Gift of Tongues - We believe that the gift of tongues, along with the interpretation, is for the edification of the Church.

We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity for believers to meet regularly.

Holiness is the outward manifestation of the character and nature of God in us. Holiness is typically not an immediate occurrence, but rather a transformation of the mind that occurs over the course of one's life. No one can attain holiness by their own power; it can only be achieved through the Holy Spirit.

We believe that taking communion is the time that believers remember the death and resurrection of Jesus, which is the New Covenant between God and His people. His blood provides salvation and His broken body provides healing. We eat and drink at this meal to remember our Lord’s death and celebrate our Lord’s Resurrection. “Do it all in remembrance of Me.” 

We believe that righteousness is the inward change that occurs in a person's heart after accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

We believe that healing for the mind, body, and spirit is accessible to all human beings. Healing is made possible by the stripes that our Lord Jesus Christ bore for us. We believe in anointing the sick and the laying on of hands. We believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

We believe that the church has a responsibility to support itself through the tithes and offerings given by the congregation. When we give our tithes and offerings, we make it possible for the church to thrive and for us to spread the word of the Lord to all the earth. When we tithe, we show the Lord that we walk with Him in faith and obedience.

The biblical principle for marriage is a ceremonial consecration performed by an ordained minister or judge between two consenting unrelated adults, regardless of their sexual orientation, and under the law. They wish to make a loving commitment to one another for life before God and witnesses.
