WELCOME TO OUR GREAT AND UNITED FAMILY
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, unique, infallible and authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally existing. We believe in: Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious sufferings and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity. We believe in the actual ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life. We believe that the full gospel includes holiness of heart and life, healing of the body, and baptism in the Holy Spirit, with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives expression. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those who are saved to the resurrection of life, and those who are lost to the resurrection of damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
