The Scriptures
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

​
The Lord Jesus Christ

Scripture References: Romans 3:23, Acts 17:30, Romans 5:1, John 3:3-7
Healing
We believe in divine healing for the body as well as the soul. We affirm the power of prayer and faith to heal the sick through the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit. We believe that this healing can occur in various ways, including the laying on of hands, anointing with oil, and the prayers of agreement among believers.

Scripture References: James 5:14-16, Matthew 18:19-20
​
The Spiritual World
We believe in the reality of the spiritual world, acknowledging the existence of God's angels, as well as demonic forces. We affirm that spiritual warfare is a reality in the believer's life, and we stand on the authority of God's Word and the power of the Holy Spirit to gain victory over these forces.

Scripture References: Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
​
The Church and the unity of believers
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences. We also believe in the essential unity of all true believers, independent of varying theological positions and interpretations, recognizing the Body of Christ in its diversity and being committed to love and respect one another.
Scripture Reference: John 17:20-23, 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:28, Ephesians 4:3-6

The Church's Mission
We believe that the church is commissioned to disciple all nations, spreading the Gospel and making followers of Christ through teaching and baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Scripture References: Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Mark 16:15-16

The Final Judgment
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
