THE BIBLE:
We believe that the bible is the word of God, Completely inspired, infallible and the final authority on all matters of doctrine and faith. II Timothy 3: 16-17
The bible is a Divine revelation from God through men possessed by the Holy Spirit.
TRINITY:
We believe in the Divine Trinity. We believe there is one God existing in three persons.
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
GOD:
We believe there is one God, the Father Almighty the creator of all things.
Matthew 3: 16-17. John 1: 1-4
JESUS CHRIST:
We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God.
He is the second person in the God head of the Triune God head.
We believe that Jesus Christ is eternal in His Person.
He was there in the beginning of creation with God.
We believe that He was born of the Virgin Mary according to the scriptures.
We believe that He came to redeem man from sin and to reconcile us back to God.
John 1: 1-14, Isaiah 9: 6, Hebrews 4:14-15.
THE HOLY SPIRIT:
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the trinity.
Equal in power and Glory. Together with the Father and son to be believed in, worshipped and obeyed. The Holy Spirit is a gift to all believers to equip and empower them in their work of the ministry. Acts 1: 8. 8:39
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in all believers and through the baptism of the Holy Spirit believers are empowered and anointed for service and ministering.
Speaking in tongues as the spirit gives utterance is a direct result of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2: 34-39, Joel 2: 28
MAN:
We believe that man was created in the image of God to be holy.
We believe that man sinned through the act of disobedience.
Man therefore must be restored to his state of holiness by being born again.
Confessing and forsaking his sins. Then ask for forgiveness.
Genesis 1: 26, Romans 6: 23, St. John 3:7
SALVATION:
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith. No amount of good works will bring justification before God. To receive salvation, we must acknowledge our sins and repent from them. We must believe that Christ died our sins and that he rose again.
We must confess Him as our Lord and Savior.
Ephesians 2: 8-10, Acts 3:19, Romans 5: 11.
SANTIFICATION:
We believe in sanctification as being set aside for God’s work. To be consecrated unto God in holiness and purity. Separated for God’s service.
John 3: 8-9.
DIVINE HEALING:
We believe in divine in divine healing through faith in the name of Jesus Christ.
Divine Healing by faith in God has scriptural support and authority.
Healing by faith is one of the finished work of Christ on the cross as not only did he bore our sins but our sicknesses as well. We as believers also minister healing to others in the name of Jesus Christ by laying of hands and anointing with oil in the name of the Lord.
James 5:14, Isaiah 53: 4-5, Acts 4:30
WATER BAPTISM:
We believe in water baptism as instructed by Christ. We believe that water baptism is an outward act of obedience. Once a believer is a born again and has accepted Jesus Chris as his/her personal savior. We believe in immersion as it closely represents the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord. That after water baptism we come out sanctified and purified for the master’s use.
Matthew 28: 19-20, Acts 2: 34-41, Romans 6: 4.
THE LORD SUPPER(HOLY COMMUNION):
We believe the Lord’s supper is for believers. The believer by faith enters into a special union with Jesus Christ through this act of obedience.
This he commanded that we should do in His remembrance until He returns.
1 Corinth 11: 28-32, Matthew 26: 26-28
ETERNAL LIFE:
We believe in eternal life for believers. That the eternal life in heaven is the reward for all who believe and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior.
John 5:24. John 3:16.
And eternal punishment for unbelievers. Rev.20: 10-15, Rev. 21:18.

We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back. The second coming of Jesus Christ.
The reign of His millennial kingdom in the new heaven and new earth as promised long ago through His prophets.
Matthew 24:42, Acts 3:19-21, Revelation 11:15, 1st Thessalonians 4: 13-18.
