• We believe the Bible is God's inspired word, revealing His plan for humanity. There is one God, expressed as the Father, Son (Jesus Christ, both human and divine), and Holy Spirit.

​

• Mankind willingly fell into sin, but salvation through accepting Christ's forgiveness restores our relationship with God. This is symbolized by water baptism and Holy Communion.

​

• Believers can receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering them for service, with speaking in tongues as initial evidence. Sanctification, a lifelong process of growing closer to God and becoming more Christlike, begins at salvation.

​

• The Church's mission is to reach the lost. It is the body of believers who have accepted God's redemption through Christ. Leadership ministry serves the Church, encouraging believers to evangelize, worship, and build up the body.

​

• Divine healing is available to Christians today through Christ's atonement.

​

• We believe in the Blessed Hope—Jesus will rapture His Church before His return, taking all believers to be with Him forever. This will be followed by Christ's millennial reign on Earth.

​

• Finally, there will be a final judgment for those who rejected Christ, leading to eternal punishment. For those who accepted Him, there will be new heavens and a new earth where we will live with Him forever.
