We Believe:
1. The Holy Scriptures
The Bible teaches that there is only one true,
ever living, eternal God, infinite in power,
holy in nature, and possessing absolute, invisible
deity.
2. Lord Jesus
Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son
of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born
of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was
buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven,
and is now seated at the right hand of God the
Father and is true God and true man.
3. Christian Life
and Duty
The ordained officers of the Church are apostle,
prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, elders,
and deacons and all of these officers shall
function under the covering of a local church
and all elders and deacons are under the direction
of the five-fold ministry listed in Ephesians
4:11.
4. Members
Each believer is a priest of the Lord and has
direct access to the Father through the Lord
Jesus Christ. Each person must believe for himself,
must be baptized for himself, obey for himself,
and answer to his Creator for himself.
5. The Sacraments
The two ordinances of the Church are water baptism
and the Lord's Supper. Water baptism by immersion
in water in the name of the Trinity is a mark
of recognition with Jesus Christ in His death,
burial, and resurrection. The Lord's Supper
is a cenotaph of the death, resurrection, and
second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6. Divine Health
The receiving and the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
with the initial sign of speaking with other
tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (3 John
2, Act 9:34)
7. Economic Prosperity
The Children of God must and ought to prosper
and use wealth as an instrument of blessing
and as a tool for the expansion of the Gospel.
(3 John 2)
8. Marriage
The bible teaches that marriage is a holy covenant
ordained by God as a united entity between one
man and one woman. (Gen.1: 27-28, 2:23-24)
