What We Believe

We believe that Jesus Christ is The Son of God and that He was crucified and buried, and on the third day he arose from the dead and ascended on high where He took His seat at the right hand of God The Father Almighty until His enemies become His footstool. We believe in the rapture, that the dead in Christ will rise first and that those that are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet Jesus in the air. We believe that after death, eternal life begins either in Heaven or in hell; where one spends eternity is based on their decision to live according to God’s words and commandments or to rebel and deny His words and commandments. We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God inspired by God. We believe that faith is acting out on the Word of God and it is by the Word of God that we receive blessings. We believe in divine healing and that Jesus is the Healer and that by the stripes of Jesus we are healed! We believe in honoring God with our tithes and offerings.  We also believe in giving alms and caring for the poor, sick, homeless, etc   We believe in water baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the name of Jesus and the authority invested in that name. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
