We believe absolutely in the spiritual truths of the Word of God. We accept both the Old and New Testaments as the Word of God, breathed and inspired by Him through His servants. As Christians, we accept the Bible as our authoritative source for our belief structure and the source of our doctrines. Wherever our doctrines might deviate from scripture, accurately translated, they must be brought back into alignment with the Word of God.

The Godhead

We believe in the Holy Trinity of God. We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; one Person of the same substance, power and eternity.

God the Son

The Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Word (logos) of God, pre-existent always with the Father and the Holy Spirit, the Very and Eternal God, and of one substance with the Father, took Man's nature in the womb of the blessed virgin Mary, truly suffered, was crucified, dead and buried, and resurrected to reconcile his Father to us and us to His Father. He came to be a sacrifice for the actual salvation of Mankind. It is through Jesus Christ alone that we come to eternal life.

The Creeds

We accept and believe the creeds to be true which are known as The Nicene Creed and the Apostle's Creed. They are both in accord with Holy Scripture and should be used by the church as summaries of our faith.

Justification of Man

We are literally spiritually born again into Christ at our conversion to faith in Christ. We become justified to God through our acceptance of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross and our desire to receive His Life. Through this process, we begin as children of God and should continually grow into maturity in Him.

The Church

We believe that the visible church of God should be a congregation of spiritual men, women and children. It should be a place where the pure Word of God is taught, studied and practiced. It should be a community of love, understanding, meditation and prayer.

The Sacraments

We believe that the sacraments are outward expressions of an inward grace and should be practiced faithfully in our churches. Our sacraments to be observed are:

The Eucharist, Baptism, Holy Orders, and Marriage.

The Clergy

No person is to take the office of a deacon, minister or bishop on his own accord. The Clergy shall make all such appointments as God and the scriptures lead them. The cardinals and archbishops will have final approval of all candidates for Holy Orders.  We hold celibacy to be a personal matter of choice and is not required of our clergy.
