1. We believe the Bible to be the only inspired Word of God, whose commandments and principles we should obey and upon which we should build every aspect of our lives.
     
  2. We believe Godhead, which consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His atoning death and in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.  We also believe in Christ's personal return in power and great glory, His millennial reign and His everlasting dominion.
     
  3. We believe in salvation, healing and deliverance through the redemptive work of Christ at Calvary.  We believe in personal sanctification, holiness of heart, and the overcoming life, as scriptural requirements of character.  We believe that Jesus Christ is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.
     
  4. We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit as a distinct experience from the New Birth; and the Charismatic Gifts of the Spirit and His miraculous power are as available today as they were in the early days of the church.  We believe it to be equally essential to have the fruit of the Spirit, so that we do not have power without purity, and character.
     
  5. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life, and they that are lost unto resurrection of eternal punishment.
     
  6. We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervour, endeavouring to convert the lost in obedience to the Great Commission.  By so doing, we also strengthen the spiritual lives of those we are already His.  We believe that is essential to our growth and development that we honour God-ordained authority in the home, in the church, and that we respect civil government.
     
  7. We believe in the scriptural principal of tithing and offerings.
     
  8. We believe in water baptism by immersion after conversion, and that all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
     
  9. We believe Satan and the demons are the originators of sin, and they attempt to thwart God's purposes; however, that in Christ, the believers may have complete victory from the influence of Satan and his demons.
     
  10. We believe in the Five-fold ministry of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher that are called by the Lord to equip the saints to minister and encourage the body of Christ.
     
  11. We believe in the celebration of the Lord's Supper as instituted by the Lord Jesus.
     
  12. We believe in working together with the other Christian Fellowships of like faith.
