WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe, the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of God, complete and unequivocal truth and applicable to every generation of people unconfined to any one race, color, or culture with respect to the human race. We believe in the Holy Trinity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that God sent Jesus Christ to the earth to die on the cross for the remission of sin and after ascending back to Heaven, Jesus is now seated at the right hand of God and shall return soon for His church. We believe that the only path to eternal life is exclusively through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross by the shedding of His blood and sacrifice of His body. We believe, it is by confession and repentance of sin, that forgiveness is given. Hallelujah!
As pertaining to the bond of a defined Denomination, we have concluded through prayer and guidance of the Holy Spirit, that without prejudice, we are considered “Non-Denominational” in which we believe is in fact a Denomination in of itself. Therefore, with respect to denominations such as Apostolic, Pentecostal, COGIC, Full Gospel, Baptist, and etc., to which we have a vast collective history, we count it not robbery to share in, but not limited to, many of the beliefs of doctrine as our fellow brethren in Christ.
Statement of Faith
The Bible is the sole authority that dictates every aspect of the church. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
God, The Father
We believe that God Himself is our Heavenly and Eternal Father; He who created us and fashioned us after His own likeness and image, adopted us through His only begotten and has therefore called us sons. 1 John 1:3 “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:”
God, The Son
We believe that Jesus, The Christ is the only begotten Son of God, the second person of the Triune Godhead. We believe Jesus Christ was in the beginning with the Father in the creation of the world and He is eternal. We believe that wholeheartedly, that Jesus Christ was born of a young virgin girl named Mary, based upon the sacred scriptures of the Holy Bible. Our belief is that the Lord, Christ Jesus is the sacrificial lamb of GOD, who was slain for the sins of all who would believe on His Holy name (John 3:16). We believe that Jesus Christ is our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:15) who is now seated at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 12:2) and He is our beloved advocate with the Father (1 John 2:1).
God, The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Triune Godhead. He proceeds from the Father and the Son (John 14-16), and He possesses equal power as the Father and the Son. We believe that the Holy Ghost is to be believed in, obeyed, and worshiped. We believe the scriptures that clearly state that the Holy Spirit is a gift of God, The Father after the ascension of Christ from the earth into the eternal presence of The Father in Heaven.
(John 14-16; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4)
Sin
We believe that sin dwelleth in us, but as Romans 6:12 commands, “we should not let it reign in our mortal body.” We believe that we are no longer under the law, but under grace from the law, which made us acknowledge the sin that already resided within. We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins so that we may be saved and have eternal life {Rom. 10: 9-10}. We believe that the word “Flesh” is used to signify how we succumb to our lustful desires. We believe in Galatians 5: 16 says, “if ye Walk in the Spirit, ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”
The Ordinances of The Church
We believe that the ordinances of the church are the Lord Supper and Baptism. We believe Jesus explained clearly the Lord Supper in Matthew 26: 26-30. We believe that baptism is a physical representation of our belief in the gospel, as well as spiritual connection to it. We believe Paul described this act in Rom 6:3-5.

Acts 19:11-12, Acts 4:29-31, Mark 16:17-20, Luke 9:13-17
Healing
We believe that the Divine Healing as are part of this “So Great Salvation” and that through the Gifts of Healing, through the laying on of hands, through the anointing with oil, or by simple faith alone, physical healing and well-being and deliverance from pain are privileges of Christians throughout the Gospel Age.
We believe the ministry of supernatural healing. We believe in the power of God to heal physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments through supernatural means. We encourage members to pray for healing and to seek God's intervention in their health and well-being.
Mk. 16:17-18; 1 Cor. 12:9-10; 1 Pet. 2:24; Jam. 5:13-16.
Salvation
We believe the Christian doctrine of salvation saves the believer from “wrath,” that is, from God’s judgment of sin (Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9). Our sin has separated us from God, and the consequence of sin is death (Romans 6:23). According to Romans 10:9-10, we are saved when we believe, confess, and acknowledge that Christ is Lord. Biblical salvation refers to our deliverance from the consequence of sin and therefore involves the removal of sin. Because of our repentance from sin and belief in Christ, one day, He is coming back for His church, the body of believers (Hebrews 9:28/Matt. 24:44).
