What We Believe

   The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. Our Statement of Fundamental Truths is intended simply as a basis of fellowship among us (i.e., that we all speak the same thing, 1 Corinthians 1:10 [KJV/NIV]; Acts 2:42 [KJV/NIV]). The phraseology employed in this Statement is not inspired nor contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential to a full-gospel ministry. No claim is made that it covers all Biblical truth, only that it covers our need as to these fundamental doctrines. We believe the Bible has the answer to every human need. That begins with four core beliefs that are basic to Scriptural principles-salvation, divine healing, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and the second coming of Jesus Christ.

3.  We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. His virgin birth sinless life, miracles, His vicarious and atoning death on the cross through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, and exaltation to the right hand of God, the Father. (Luke 1: 3 5)
