Salvation
We believe ALL have sinned and need salvation. And salvation is by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. Becuase the Bible says:
- Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
- Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
- I John 1:10 - If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Repentance
We believe Repentance is a necessisity...
- Matthew 3:11 - I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
- Matthew 9:13 - But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

- Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Baptism
We believe in Water Baptism, by immersion, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is a necessity...
- Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
- Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

- Acts 10:48 - And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
- Acts 19:5 - When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Holy Ghost
We believe in the infilling of the HOLY GHOST with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Because the Bible says:

- Matthew 3:11 - : I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
- Acts 10:44-46 - While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, ...
- Acts 19:6 - And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Holiness
We believe and preach that the believer should live in Holiness before the Lord. Because the Bible says:

- Leviticus 20:7 - Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
- Romans 6:19 - I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

- I Peter 1:15-16 - But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Oneness
We believe in ONE GOD, and his name is Jesus Christ. Because the bible says..

- Isaiah 45:18 - For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Worship
We believe in worshiping the Lord in spirit and in truth...
- John 4:23- 24 - But the hour cometh,and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
