This is not a list of all of our doctrinal beliefs, but a few of the most critical ones to help you to know where we stand.

1. The Bible is the word of God and is to be the final source of authority in all matters of faith and practice.
   
   
2. There is only one God who is revealed in a triune nature, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. God can be intimately known by everyone but cannot be fully known by anyone.
   
   
3. On the cross, Jesus died for all of our sins, sicknesses, sufferings and shame and He is available today to provide forgiveness, healing, deliverance and restoration according to His time and will for all men.
   
   
4. God the Holy Spirit enters man's heart at the moment of salvation but there are many experiences through the filling of the Holy Spirit yet to occur in the believer's life. Also the gifts of the Holy Spirit should have open and free expression in the context of order and edification of others.
   
   
5. Man is a sinner by nature and by choice and is in need of God's work of salvation to be in right relationship with God. This work of salvation is God's work in man and not man's work for God. Man cannot add to or take away from God's work in his heart.
   
   
6. Learning to love God and other people are paramount in the Christian walk and will be stimulated and maintained through regular Bible study, prayer, worship, stewardship, evangelism, Christian service and fellowship. These are essential Christian disciplines for each believer's life. Man's spiritual growth and development is a cooperative effort between himself and God, which is basically, man properly responding to God's continual work in his heart.
   
   
7. Jesus Christ will return a second time as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. When He returns, He will rapture His church, judge the living and the dead and establish His eternal kingdom.
