What We Believe
Scripture
We believe both Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man. the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 I Thessalonians 2:13 2 Peter 1:21
Salvation
We believe in salvation through the incarnation of Jesus Christ, his atoning life, death and resurrection, provided through the action of the Holy Spirit, expressed in a life of devotion, worship, and service in and through the community of Christ.
John 3 Luke 24:45-47 Romans 10:9-10 Ephesians 2:8-10 Titus 3:5-6
Healing
We believe that through the grace of God and in the life and atonement of Christ, God provides healing, including physical healing, to a broken humanity. All healing is the work of God.
Isaiah 53:4-5 Matthew 8:17 Matthew 9:35 Acts 10:38 James 5:14-16
Holy Spirit
We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit, implemented at Pentecost, is the promise of the Father for all Christians, providing power for faithful, victorious Christian living, power for effective service. We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including speaking in tongues, are viable and desirable today, working within the individual and within the Christian community.
