STATEMENT OF FAITH

     This ministry believes that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, written by holy men as they were let by the spirit of God.  It is infallible and the final authority in all that is said and done.  There is only one true God manifested as the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

     The Lord Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary and is God manifested in the flesh.  He was crucified on the cross for the atonement of all mankind, resurrected from the dead, and ascended to heaven.  He lives in the hearts of those who accept Him as Savior.

     In the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in those individuals who receive the fullness of His Spirit, and the powers, gifts and demonstration of the first church are still active today.

FORM OF WORSHIP

This ministry worships the Lord in Spirit and in truth with the singing of hymns, prayers to God, and the teaching and preaching of the Holy Scriptures.

DOCTRINE

This ministry accepts the Bible as an all-sufficient basis of historical doctrine and practices, recognizing the free activity of the Holy Spirit to provide guidance and scriptural clarity.
