We are a Non-Denominational Ministry and we believe that God is the creator of all things.

1. The Holy Scriptures:

We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

2. The Eternal Godhead:

We believe God is the triune: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:1-3)

3. The Fall of Man:

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from innocence and purity (Romans 5:12)

4. The Plan of Salvation:

We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on him (John 3:16)

5. The New Birth:

We believe that change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is very real (2 Corinthians 5:17)

6. Baptism and the Lord's Supper:

We believe that Baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Acts 8:38-39 and Matthew 3:1-6). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's supper by the symbolic use of the bread and juice (1 Corinthians 11:24-25)

7. The Gifts and fruits of the Spirit:

We believe that the holy spirit has gifts to bestow upon the believer, and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a spirit filled life. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11 and Galatians 5:22)

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who rejects Christ as the Savior (Revelation 20:10-15)

12. Evangelism:

We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the church (James 5:20)

13. Tithe and Offerings:

We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of his cause is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10 and 2 Corinthians 9:7)
