WE believe in the Blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the Church of God, which is in Christ, at His return.

WE believe that the ONLY means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance, faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ and believing the gospel according to Romans 10:9&10.

We believe that regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for personal salvation.

WE believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer.

WE believe that the baptism in the Holy Ghost, according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask for it.

WE believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a Holy and separated life in this present world.
