WHAT WE BELIEVE
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible Word of God. We
believe that there is One God eternally existent in Three Persons: God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the Church of God,
which is in Christ, at His return.
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through
repentance: faith in the precious Blood of Jesus Christ and being baptized in
water. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Ghost is essential for personal
salvation.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for
the human body in answer to believing in prayer.
We believe that the baptism in the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:4 is given to
believers who ask for it.
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling, the
Christian is enabled to live a holy and separate life in this present world. Amen
