Declaration of Faith

We believe:

• In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
• In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

• 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 raised from the dead.  That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.

• That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God 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 the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.

• In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

• In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

• Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.

• In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saint's feet.

• In the pre-millennial second coming of Jesus.  First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away living saints to Him in the air.  Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.

• In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
