Articles of Faith
The Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative word of God, without error in the original languages.
The one true God manifests Himself in three persons, namely the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His complete conquest over the powers of Satan, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His imminent return in like manner as He went away.
The church consists of all who truly believe in Jesus Christ and His atoning death and trust Him as their personal Savior and Lord.
Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of lost men, and this salvation is wholly of grace through faith.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling Christians are enabled to live Godly lives.
That healing was provided for the spirit, soul, and body in the atonement of Jesus Christ.
That all gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 are available and operational in the body of Christ today.
In the ordinance of baptism in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We do all this in the name of Jesus. We also believe in the ordinance of Holy Communion.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are lost unto eternal damnation, they that are saved unto eternal life.
In the spiritual unity of all who believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ.

The ordained officers of the Church are Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, Local Elders, Deacons, and Deaconesses (I Timothy 3; Titus 1:5-9; Ephesians 4:11).
We believe the tithe of our earnings is holy unto God and is the offering up by faith of the first fruits of our increase. Tithing and the giving of offerings are to be practiced continually by all believers and are outward expressions of the unity of the church, the Body of Christ, as it joins together in the support of the work of the Lord. We believe the tithe (the first 10%) belongs to the Lord and is given directly to the storehouse, the church, for local support. Offerings are after the tithe and can be designated to different areas of need and concern. (Genesis 14:20; Leviticus 27:30-32; Numbers 18:26; Malachi 3:8-10; Matthew 23:23; Romans 12:8; I Corinthians 9:7-14; 16:1-3; Hebrews 7:4-10)
