Statement of Faith:

1. We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God. 2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. 4. We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ is absolutely essential. 5. We believe in the filling and baptism of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance according to Acts 2:4, and in the operation of the spiritual gifts and ministries. 6. We believe in the ministry of Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. 7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved to eternal life and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation. 8. We believe in the church of Jesus Christ and in the unity of believers. 9. We believe in the practical application of the Christian faith in everyday experience and the need to minister to people in every area of life, which includes not only the spiritual but also the social, political, and physical.

Apostolic Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic [apostolic or universal] church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

About Divine Healing:

Divine healing from God is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided in the Atonement (Christ's suffering and death for the reconciliation with God). Healing is a privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; James 5:14-16).

Importance of This Doctrine:

The spectacular spread of the Pentecostal message and the growth in the number of Spirit-filled believers can be attributed in large part to God's miraculous intervention in the lives of hurting people - those suffering from emotional, spiritual, and physical pain. Many in todays churches have personally experienced God's healing touch. Some have been restored from near death to full health. However, in spite of the truth, we know that all are not healed. The Bible, which teaches the truth of divine healing itself, also declares that death is an appointed experience for every human being (Hebrews 9:27). Though we cannot explain why some are healed while others are not, God knows all and does all things well according to a purpose which only He knows. The fact that some are not healed does not destroy the fact that God can and does heal. In every Christian congregation are those who have received God's supernatural touch of healing.
