What We
Believe.
The Son
Jesus Christ is completely human and simultaneously completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into the right relationship with Him. He lived a perfect life so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection/ He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.

The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.

Divine Healing
Healing is for physical and mental illness of the human body. It is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, the laying on of hands, or just the simple acceptance of what has already been provided for us in the atonement of Christ. It is a part of the redemptive work done at the cross and it is the privilege of every member of the Church today.

The Unity of the Body
We are called as brothers and sisters in Christ to work together in the spirit of love and unity, preferring others before ourselves, and not to use our fellowship for personal agenda or achievement, but to let men see our good works together and always intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Jesus Christ!
Amos 3:3; 1 Timothy 2:1; Psalms 133:1-33; Phillipians 2:1-4; Matthew 5:16
Eternity

The Church
The church is the body of Christ, both in the universal sense and the local expression, in Heaven and in the earth. Its purpose is to fulfill and facilitate the great commission to make disciples of all nations. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in Heaven. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands
Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 1:22; Ephesians 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23
Marriage
The institution of marriage as given by God is a sacred and Holy covenant between one man and one woman. It is the cornerstone of family and society.

Sex
The divine purpose of sexual intimacy was given as a gift from God and its expression is limited to the bounds of a marriage between one man and one woman. Any interactions outside the covenant of marriage distort and destroy God’s intended purpose of sexual morality.
Genesis 2:21-25; 1 Corinthians 5:9; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Galatians 5:19; Hebrews 13:4

Man
man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in the relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

Sanctity of Life
The sanctity of human life begins at conception. It is to be protected from its inception to its natural termination.
Jeremiah 1:5; Psalms 139:13; Luke 1:44
Salvation
The Blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
