OUR BELIEFS

Remaining true to that spirit, our church believes…

That Jesus Christ suffered and died to redeem man from sin and reconcile man back to God. (Romans 5:10; Hebrews 5:1-10).
That the Holy Ghost is a gift, bestowed upon the believer to equip and empower the believer, making him a more effective witness for service in this world. He (the Holy Ghost) will teach and guide in all truth. (John 16:13; Acts 1:8; 8:39).
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost by whose indwelling the believer can live a holy life.
Miracles do and will occur today where God is preached, faith in Christ is exercised, the Holy Ghost is active and the gospel goes forth in truth. (Acts 5:12; 6:8; 9:40; Luke 4:36; Mark 14:15; Luke 5:5-6).
That the shedding of human blood or the taking of human life is contrary to the teachings of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and as a body, and although sometimes necessary we are averse to war in all of its forms. (Matthew 5:9; 11:12; 5:21-22; Exodus 20:13).
In water baptism by immersion symbolizes regeneration and purification. (Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3; I Corinthians 2:13; Gelatins 3:27).
The sacrament of Feet Washing is an ordinance of the church that demonstrates humility and characterizes greatness in the Kingdom of God. (Luke 7:36-50; John 13:17; I Timothy 5:10).
