BELIEFS (The following is an excerpt from the "Tenets of Faith".)
The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. This Statement of Fundamental Truths is intended simply as a basis of fellowship among us i.e., that we all speak the same thing (1 Corinthians 1:10; Acts 2:42). the phraseology employed in this statements is not inspired or contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential to a full-gospel ministry. No claim is made that it contains all Biblical truth, only that it covers our need as to these fundamental doctrines (teachings).

The Scriptures Inspired
We believe that The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testament, 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; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).

The One True God
The one true God has revealed himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM", the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).

The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:
1. His virgin birth, (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31,35).
2. His sinless life, (Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22).
3. His miracles, (Acts 2:22; 10:38).
4. His substitutionary work on the cross, (1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
5. His bodily resurrection from the dead, (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Corinthians 15:4).
6. His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9,11; 2:23; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3).
