We believe that God is the creator and ruler of the universe.
We believe this one, true God (Deuteronomy 6:4) has manifested Himself as Father in creation, the Son in redemption and as the Holy Spirit working in the lives of his people today.
These are not three distinct persons but manifestations of the one, true living God - 1 John 5:7. He is, eternal; infinite in power and wisdom; Holy in His nature, attributes and purpose.
We identify with the burial of Christ when we are baptized in His Name (See : Luke 24:47, Acts 2:38 and Acts 4:12 KJV) Water baptism is a integral part of the new birth, salvation experience. Water baptism is inseparable from saving faith and is how we demonstrate our faith in the work of Jesus Christ.
The scriptural mode of baptism is by immersion, and is for those who have fully repented and turned from their sins. It is always to be administered in the "Name of our Lord Jesus Christ" according to Luke 24:47 and the Acts of the Apostles 2:38; Acts of the Apostles 10:43; thus obeying and fulfilling Matthew 28:19.
We believe the Church is the living, spiritual body of believers of which the Lord Jesus Christ is the Head. The Church functions as Christ would function in the earth, seeking to find lost souls for the purpose of bringing them to salvation. Signs and wonders, including divine healing, are part of the Church’s ministry, as they were part of the ministry of Jesus on earth.
The scriptures teach us the importance of all believers attaching themselves to a church that teaches Biblical truth where they can grow in their faith, have fellowship with other believers and be equipped to serve.
