3:16; II Corinthians 3:3; 3:17; Galatians 4:6), the Comforter (John 14:16, 26), the Guide (John 16:13); the divine agency of regeneration (John 16:8-11),the Revealer of Christ and His work on the cross (I Corinthians 2:12-15; 6:11), and the Distributor of gifts and graces upon the Church. (I Corinthians 12:4-11)

Mankind – The Fall - We believe mankind is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God (Genesis 1:26,27), but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin was passed down to all of mankind.  (Romans 3:23; 3:10; 5:12)

Mankind – The Redemption - We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil (I John 3:8), and He gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore mankind back to God. (Colossians 1:13,14,20,-22)

    - We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith in Jesus, the sinless Son of God. (Ephesians 2:8,9; II Timothy 3:15; Philippians 3:9; Hebrews 5:9)  Salvation is separate from works and the law.

Sanctification - We believe that sanctification is a definite, yet progressive work of grace, starting at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ’s return.   (I Thessalonians 5:23; II Thessalonians 2:13; II Timothy 2:11; Hebrews 2:11)

Healing - We believe in the healing ministry of the Holy Spirit through the crosswork of Jesus Christ and that everyone is in need of healing due to our sin-filled world. (Isaiah 53)

    - We believe that divine healing is available today through the gifts of the Spirit, whether by the laying on of hands (Hebrews 6:1,2), the anointing with oil (James 5:13-16), or by simple faith alone (Hebrews 4:2).  Physical healing and deliverance from pain are privileges of humanity.

    - We believe that Jesus, through His Spirit, still proclaims good news to the afflicted, still heals the brokenhearted, still releases captives, still gives sight to the blind, and still frees the downtrodden. (Isaiah 61:1-3)

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

Word of God – We believe the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, to be the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, that it was given under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it gives complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of mankind.  We hold the Bible to be the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.  It is our source of revelation of God, the knowledge of salvation, the origin of all things and of the hereafter.  (II Timothy 3:16,17; II Peter 1:20,21; Hebrews 4:12)
