What we believe

As an Assembly of God church, we stand on the 16 Fundamental Truths. These are the convictions that guide our faith and our life together as a church.

  1. The Scriptures Inspired

    The Bible is the inspired, infallible word of God and the ultimate rule for faith and conduct.

  2. The One True God

    God exists eternally as a self-existent Trinity of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  3. Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

    Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died a substitutionary death on the cross, rose bodily, and was exalted to the right hand of God.

  4. The Fall of Man

    Man was created good and upright, but voluntarily transgressed, falling into sin and incurring both physical and spiritual death.

  5. The Salvation of Man

    Cardinal doctrine

    Every person can have restored fellowship with God through repentance toward God and faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

  6. The Ordinances of the Church

    The church observes two ordinances: Water Baptism by immersion (as an identifier with Christ’s death and resurrection) and Holy Communion (as a memorial of His suffering and death).

  7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit

    Cardinal doctrine

    Believers are entitled to and should earnestly seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit, subsequent to the new birth, which empowers them for life and service.

  8. The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit

    The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.

  9. Sanctification

    Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil and of dedication to God, occurring initially at salvation, continuing through growth, and culminating in perfection.

  10. The Church and Its Mission

    The Church is the Body of Christ, housing a four-fold divine mission to evangelize the world, worship God, build a body of saints, and show compassion.

  11. The Ministry

    A divinely called and ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the four-fold evangelization and edification of the body of Christ.

  12. Divine Healing

    Cardinal doctrine

    Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel, and deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement of Christ for all believers.

  13. The Blessed Hope

    Cardinal doctrine

    The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church (the Rapture).

  14. The Millennial Reign of Christ

    The second coming of Christ includes the return of His saints and the reign of Christ on earth for one thousand years.

  15. The Final Judgment

    There will be a final judgment for the wicked dead, who will be raised and judged according to their works, facing eternal punishment.

  16. The New Heavens and the New Earth

    Believers look forward to a new heaven and a new earth wherein righteousness dwells, living eternally with God.
