Our Fundamental Doctrine
About Salvation
We believe in the Bible Standard of Full Salvation which includes Repentance of Sins, Water Baptism by immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost as evidenced by speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. We further believe that True Repentance is threefold. It entails feeling sorry for your sins, asking God forgiveness of your sins, and then turning away from your sins.
About the Bible
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the final authority for salvation and Christian living. (See II
Timothy 3:15-17.)
About the Bible
About God
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father in His Son Jesus Christ and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.)
About Sin and Salvation
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Faith is evidenced by works. (See II Timothy 3:15-17.)

About the Gospel
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)
About Christian
Living
As Christians we are to love God and one another. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing and miracles are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.)

About the Future
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (See I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.)
