We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, the only rule of faith and practice. It is a divine guide to everyday living, as relevant to men's lives today as when its holy words were first written. We are a Bible-centered church. We want our doctrines and our religious experiences to be the same as those of the early church. We hold firmly to the beliefs of historical Christianity.
We believe that God offers to every person the forgiveness of sins through the sacrifice of His Son. The scriptural plan of salvation is simple and definite:
- All are sinners. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
- Sin must be punished. "For the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23a)
- Eternal life can't be earned. "For by grace are you saved through faith... not of works. (Ephesians 2:8,9)
- By receiving Christ, we receive eternal life." If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1st John 1:9)
We are Pentecostal. We believe that every Christian should enjoy the same spiritual experience which marked the early church on the Day of Pentecost in A.D. 30. The New Testament says that "they were all filled with the Holy Spirit."
