The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired
and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the
proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.
For purposes of our organization’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Board of
Directors is the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
The human 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 contains
all the truth in the Bible, only that it covers orthodox fundamental matters.
Holy Bible. The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the
final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible
and inerrant (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26).
One God. We believe in one God, the Father, as he has revealed himself in the Bible. "Hear, O
Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29).
Trinity. We believe in the one true God, existing in three persons, God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Eternal One in whom all the fullness of deity
dwells in bodily form, and who is the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us, and whose
glory we beheld, the glory of the uniquely begotten Son of God, full of grace and truth. He is the
only one ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed
miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His
blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right
hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory (John 1:1-14, 20:28; Colossians 2:9;
1 Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; 1 Timothy 2:5).
Holy Spirit. We believe that the Spirit of God comforts, teaches, leads, indwells and empowers
all whom God regenerates. (Acts 9:31; 1 John 2:27; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Timothy
1:7)
Virgin Birth. Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit in the
virgin Mary's womb; therefore, He is the Son of God (Matthew 1:18, 25; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14;
Matthew 1:18, 23-25; Luke 1:27-35).
Redemption. Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only
hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Gen.1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).

Regeneration. For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential
(John 6:44, 65). Salvation We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial,
and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human
efforts (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews
9:22).
Repentance. Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and
to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy
Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation (Acts
2:21, 3:19; 1 John 1:9).
Sanctification. Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God's Word and His Spirit in
order to complete the development of Christ's character in us. It is through the present ministry
of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (1
Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-
2, Hebrews 2:11).
Jesus' Blood. The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100%
sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our
sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is
death (1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29).
Jesus Christ Indwells. All Believers Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus
Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their
lives over to him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in
what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead (John
1:12; John 14:17, 23; John 15:4; Romans 8:11; Revelations 3:20).
Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus
after His Ascension, to empower the church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth
(Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47,
11:15-17, 19:1-6).
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to
build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power
of the Gospel. The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may
occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the
manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the
Scriptures and should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters (Hebrews 2:4; Romans
1:11, 12 :4-8; Ephesians 4:16; 2 Timothy 1:5-16, 4:14; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter
4:10).

The Church. The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with
divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus' great commission. Every person who is born of
the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a
spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23;
John 17:11, 20-23).
Healing of the Sick. Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and
included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is given as a sign which is to follow
believers. It is also a part of Jesus' work on the Cross and one of the gifts of the Spirit (Psalm
103:2-3; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 8:6-7; James 5:14-16; 1
Corinthians 12:9, 28; Romans 11:29).
God's Will for Provision. It is the Father's will for believers to become whole, healthy and
successful in all areas of life. But because of the fall, many may not receive the full benefits of
God's will while on Earth. That fact, though, should never prevent all believers from seeking the
full benefits of Christ's provision in order to better serve others.
a. Spiritual (John 3:3-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10).
b. Mental and Emotional (2 Timothy 1:7, 2:11; Philippians 4:7-8; Romans 12:2; Isaiah
26:3).
c. Physical (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).
d. Financial (Joshua 1:8; Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-10; Deuteronomy
28:1-14; Psalm 34:10, 84:11; Philippians 4:19).
Resurrection. Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three
days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they
that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal
damnation (Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:42,
44; Philippians 1:21-23, 3:21).
Second Coming. Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to
establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures (Matthew 24:30,
26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7).
