We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Almighty living God. We believe that He died on the cross for our sins, went to hell for us, was resurrected and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. We believe that God's inspired written word, the Bible, is true and tells us how to know God and live for Him. We believe the Bible is God’s Word and reveals God’s plan for salvation.  It is the clear and accessible authority for faith and practice of the Christian life.  We worship God with wisdom and daily application of the Bible as the foundation of our faith. Through the teaching of God’s Word, we are equipped with the knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures to strengthen and mature our walk with Christ.

• preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
• lead lost souls to salvation through Jesus Christ, the only way to the Father and Eternal Life,
• lead backsliders back to the Lord,
• teach Christians how to live by and operate in faith,
• teach Christians the power of their words,
• teach Christians how to live an abundant life through the power and authority Jesus has given us.

WE BELIEVE that God has revealed Himself and His truth in the created order, in the Scriptures, and supremely in Jesus Christ; and that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing, so that they are fully trustworthy and of supreme and final authority in all they say.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and walked this earth as a man without sin; and we believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord and in His ascension into heaven.

WE BELIEVE that God directly created Adam and Eve, and that they were created in His own image, distinct from all other living creatures, and in a state of original righteousness.

WE BELIEVE that our first parents sinned by rebelling against God's revealed will and thereby incurred both physical and spiritual death, and that as a result all human beings are born with a sinful nature that leads them to sin in thought, word, and deed.

WE BELIEVE in the existence of Satan, sin, evil powers, and Hell, and that all these were defeated by Jesus when He died on the cross, went to Hell and won the victory over Hell and death.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus died for the remission of our sins, according to the scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, triumphing over all evil; and that all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood and forgiven of all their sins.

WE BELIEVE that by grace, through faith, all who believe in their heart and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord are saved.

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit indwells and gives life to believers, enables them to understand the scriptures, empowers them for godly living, and equips them for service and witness.

WE BELIEVE that as Christians we are the body of Christ. We as Christians are commanded to praise and worship Him; to preach the gospel of the Good News, heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and some teachers. We believe that these offices (the five-fold ministry) still exist today and have not passed away.

WE BELIEVE in the baptism of the Holy Spirit (the in-filling of the Holy Spirit) followed by the evidence of speaking with other tongues

WE BELIEVE that at the end of the Church Age, Jesus shall return in the clouds and all who have received Him as Lord and Savior, both the living and the dead, shall be caught up (raptured) to meet Him in the clouds.  Therefore, they shall escape the appointed wrath of God that is coming to this world.

What is Salvation?
John 14:6, Romans 10:8-10, Romans 8:16

    The only One who can save man from his sin and restore him to his intended created state is Jesus Christ.  For no one can come to the Father except through Jesus, His only begotten Son.  He is the only way, the truth, and the life.  This salvation comes by believing in the heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord of All.  The inward evidence of one's salvation is the witness of the Holy Spirit.  The outward evidence seen by others is a life lived in true holiness and love.  Salvation is received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by human works.  Our works, however, are evidence of our faith and will determine the rewards we receive in heaven.

How Can I Receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit?

Before Jesus went to the cross, He taught His disciples about the Holy Spirit, or the Comforter. In John 14:16-17, He said:
I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
At salvation, you were reborn as the Holy Spirit re-created your spirit and came to live inside of you. But His job does not stop with imparting the nature of God into your spirit. He wants you to let His energizing power explode in you to transform you into an effective witness and to put you in contact with the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 14:4, 2:10).

As He ministered on earth, Jesus said, "The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works....He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father" (John 14:10, 12). It is the Holy Spirit dwelling within you that will do these "greater works." In Mark 16, Jesus commanded His disciples to go forth in power:
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature....And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues....they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (see verses 15-18).
God intends that as you are a witness of Jesus and pray for people, the Holy Spirit through you will be free to do what is necessary to bring salvation, healing, deliverance or whatever the need might be. This empowering for ministry is a result of receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. And it is for everyone in the Body of Christ because God gave His Spirit to the Church on the Day of Pentecost.

With the empowering of the Holy Spirit, you will be able to get the job done and deliver God's Word effectively. But just as you received salvation, you must personally receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. You receive it just as you received Jesus - by faith, by believing God's Word.

You don't have to beg God to give you this empowering of His Spirit. All any born-again believer has to do is invite the Holy Spirit to have complete access to his life. He will help you get rid of habits. He will move the unclean things out of your life. He is the power that gets these things done.

Although you don't have to beg to receive the Holy Spirit, you do have to ask. If you will ask, the Word of God promises that you shall receive:
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? (Luke 11:9-13).
Jesus is speaking about a son asking something of his father. You are a son of God. You are His child and He is your Father. If you go to God and ask for the Holy Spirit, you won't get a devil. Don't be worried about getting the wrong thing.

God is poised and ready to baptize you in His Holy Spirit when you ask Him. The Holy Spirit came to earth on the Day of Pentecost and He is still here. He is there with you right now. The moment you ask the Father for the Holy Spirit, He will give Him to you. As eager as you are to receive Him, He is even more ready to empower you with the ability of God. The Holy Spirit is ever present, ready to move, because He wants you to be a vital and powerful witness for Jesus.

But God will not force the Holy Spirit into your life in any way that you are unwilling to receive Him. Your will is involved. Without your voluntary action, you will never receive anything from God.

Receiving the Holy Spirit requires that you humble yourself before God. You stand before God open and ready. You give Him your body, your mind and your spirit. You say, "Here I am, asking You to come live inside me. Because I am asking, I expect You to do it. Your Word says You will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask, so I am asking now. Baptize me in Your Holy Spirit."

Again, you are not to go by your feelings. You receive the Holy Spirit by faith, not by feelings.

When you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, an extraordinary thing happens: You are able to speak in another language. "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:4). The Holy Spirit gives the utterance, but you do the speaking. Nowhere in the New Testament does it say that the Holy Spirit does the speaking. God will not force you to speak in tongues. The Holy Spirit will supply the words - words that are unknown to you - but you have to supply the sound.

When you pray in tongues, you are praying "in the spirit." Just as your language is the voice of your mind, praying in tongues is the voice of your spirit. It is your spirit speaking mysteries unto God (1 Corinthians 14:2). The Apostle Paul said, "If I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful" (1 Corinthians 14:14). I want to pray with you now to receive the Holy Spirit:
 

My heavenly Father, I am a believer. I am Your child and You are my Father. Jesus is my Lord. I believe with all my heart that Your Word is true.
Your Word says that if I will ask I will receive the Holy Spirit, so in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, I am asking You to fill me to overflowing with Your precious Holy Spirit.
Jesus, baptize me in the Holy Spirit. Because of Your Word, I believe that I now receive and I thank You for it. I believe that the Holy Spirit is within me and by faith I accept it.
Now, Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise my God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance.
Now, I want you to begin to thank God and praise Him for baptizing you in the Holy Spirit. As you do, there will rise up within your spirit certain words and syllables that are unknown to you, so by faith speak. Don't speak any more of your own language. You can't speak two languages at the same time. Just begin to speak the syllables that are on your lips. You are like a baby and you will begin by speaking baby-sounding words. (Remember, you have to use your own voice. God will not force you to speak.)

From this moment on, you are a Spirit-baptized believer. Jesus said in John 14:16, "I will pray the father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever." The Holy Spirit is your Comforter, which means Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby. You can rely on Him to fulfill all these areas of ministry.

The Holy Spirit was sent to teach you all things, to lead and guide you into all truth (John 14:26, 16:12-13). You are no longer alone. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter Who will abide with you forever!

How Can I Pray for a Healing?

Healing belongs to you. Jesus purchased it by going to the cross. You have just as much right to be healed as you do to be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit.

According to Matthew 8:17, Jesus "...took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." He bore them in His own body so that you and I wouldn't have to. We are redeemed from sickness and disease.

Look at Galatians 3:13-14:
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Jesus bore a curse so that we could receive a blessing. What is "the blessing of Abraham"? Let's read Genesis 17:
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect [or upright, sincere].
And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly....
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee....
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee (see verses 1-7).
This covenant God made with Abraham was sealed with the blood of Jesus. According to Galatians 3:29, when you belong to Jesus Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. You are an heir to the blessing which God gave to Abraham. This blessing, found in Deuteronomy 28, covers every area of your existence: spirit, soul, body, financially and socially. Read the first 14 verses of Deuteronomy 28 and you will realize all the blessings that belong to you as a child of God and joint heir with Jesus.

One of those blessings is physical healing. You have the right to live free from sickness and disease. Peter said of Jesus, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed " (1 Peter 2:24). The stripes laid on Jesus' back by the Roman soldiers stood for your healing. By those stripes, you were healed - past tense. You were healed 2,000 years ago, but you have to receive it by faith today. Healing is part of your inheritance, part of the blessing of Abraham; but in order to live in your inheritance, you have to believe it for yourself and accept it as a reality in your own life.

It is a very simple thing to pray for healing. You just say:
Father, I am Your child. I am filled with Your Spirit. I believe that Jesus bore my sickness and carried my diseases, and I believe that by His stripes I was healed 2,000 years ago.
Right now, I accept that fact by faith. I believe that I am healed now, in the Name of Jesus.

As a child of God, you have the right to command Satan to get out of your life. He has no right to lay sickness or disease on your body, because Jesus bore all sickness and disease on His own body. For Satan to put any of that on you would be a miscarriage of justice. You are God's property and Satan is a trespasser. He has no right to touch your spirit, your soul or your body.
