We Believe:

1.    In the One True God, Creator of heaven and earth, and Creator of ourselves.
                 a.    As Creator, He has authority over all the earth, including ourselves.  Since we did not create                        ourselves, we do not have the right to do as we please with "our" lives.  To Him we owe allegiance                     and obedience.
2.    The inspiration of Scripture, Old and New Testaments.  The Scriptures are absolutely accurate and                     truthful and state with final authority God's commands and requirements for our lives.
3.    No man has fulfilled the requirements of these Scriptures. All are guilty of falling short of God's                         requirements.
4.    Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, lowered His status to that of a human child, lived among us,        and was crucified, as the sacrifice which allows us to return to oneness with God and all the blessings               which come along with the restoration of that union.
                 a.    Accepting the lordship of Jesus Christ is the only necessary response required of us, but that                         response must change every aspect of our lives.
5.    One of the initial responses to salvation is baptism by immersion in water, representing the total passing            away of the old life and the newness of a miraculous life being birthed within us.  Communion is a                    continual representation of the power of the cross in our lives to both help us live in submission to His              lordship and to grant forgiveness and cleansing when we fail.

    We Believe:

6.    The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a work of grace which every believer is to seek after salvation.  The                 evidence of the baptism is beginning to operate in the spiritual abilities, the first spiritual ability being               granted is normally speaking in tongues.  The result of the baptism is increased power for witnessing,                service, and changes in character.
7.    The result is to be separated from the mold the world has tried to force us into and be transformed instead         into an image which looks more and more each day like Christ.
8.    That for this purpose we have been engrafted into the church, where we are to care for and encourage one          another until we all begin to share the Divine Image and our natures become transformed so that we all              become more and more like unto Christ.
9.    The day is coming when our entire beings will be transformed into His likeness.  On that day we will be            resurrected to life, all others will be resurrected to a judgment of destruction by an eternal fire.
10.  The goal of the church is to worship God in an attitude of total surrender to Him, secondly to build up the         church so that it begins to look and act more and more like Christ, and thirdly, having surrendered                     ourselves unto God and being equipped for the purposes of service, to bring a lost and dying world into             the glory that God desires to pour out upon every person!
