"According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the
foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." I Corinthians 3:10 &11

We Believe:
*In the verbal & written inspiration of the Bible.
*In ONE GOD eternally existing as the FATHER in Creation, the SON in Redemption and the HOLY GHOST
in the Church today.
*That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the
Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was Crucified, Buried, and Rose from
the dead on the third day. That He ascended to heaven and is at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
*That ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and that repentance
is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
*That Justification, Regeneration, and the New Birth are wrought by faith in the Blood
of Jesus Christ.
*In Sanctification subsequent to the New
Birth, through faith in the Blood of Christ; Through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
*HOLINESS to be God's standard of living for His people.
*In Speaking with other Tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance and that it is
the initial evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
*In the command (Matthew 28:19) and the practice (Acts 2:38) of water baptism by immersion, and all
who repent should be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission (removal, discharge) of sins.
*Acts 2:38 & Acts 4:12. That "For as many of you as have been baptized
into
Christ have put on Christ." Galatians 3:27.
*Divine healing is provided for all
in the atonement.
*In the HOLY COMMUNION (The Lord's Supper). I Corinthians
11:23-34.
*In the Pre-millennial Second Coming of Jesus. First,
to resurrect the Righteous dead and to Catch Away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on earth for a Thousand years.
