What We Believe

• The Bible - We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is to be our rule of faith and life.
  
• The Trinity - We believe that there is only one living and true God and that there are three persons in the God head: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. We believe these three are one God and the same in substance and equal in power and glory.
  
• Jesus Christ - We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God. We believe He was born of a true virgin, lived a sinless life, died as a substitute for the sins of the world, rose boldly from the grave after being there for three days, ascended into Heaven, and will return to gather His Church and judge the world.
  
• Salvation - We believe that the only way to recieve salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and that it comes only by God's grace.
  
• The Holy Spirit - We believe that the Holy Spirit is given to every believer to provide the daily strength and wisdom we need to live according to God's will and to grow in holiness and sanctification.
  
• Speaking in Tongues and other Gifts of The Spirit - We believe that spiritual gifts are granted to every believer by the Holy Spirit who grants to each Christian as He wills. Christians are to use their gifts to serve Christ in the work of His Kingdom and for the Body of Christ. All true believers recieve some spiritual gift(s). No spiritual gift is to be despised, nor is it to be misused to bring glory to any other than to Christ. Any view of tongues which sees this phenomenon as an essential sign of the baptism of The Spirit is contrary to Scripture. Any practice of tongues which causes dissension and division in the Body of Christ is contrary to the purpose of the Spirit's gift.
