We believe we are one body being members one of another and the basis of our fellowship is in Christ in the power of the Spirit (Romans 12:3-8, I Corinthians 12, Ephesians 2:13-22, 4:3-6, Colossians 3:15).
We believe in the five-fold ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers and that they continue to be needed and should be expected today (I Corinthians 12:28, Ephesians 4:11).
We believe each Christian is called and chosen in God to be a priest unto God, to offer up the sacrifice of praise (the fruit of his lips), to give of his time, strength, and material possessions to the service of the Lord (I Corinthians 6:20, Hebrews 13:15, I Peter 2:5,9).
We believe in the doctrine of the laying on of hands for confirmation, ordination (Acts 13:1-3, I Timothy 4:14), and the ministry of healing to the sick (Mark 16:18).
We believe in the imminent, personal return of our Lord, and the restitution of all things spoken by the mouth of all prophets since the world began (Acts 1:11, 3:19-21).
We believe that the Gospel of the Kingdom is God's absolute answer to man's total needs NOW - spiritually, morally, soulically, physically, socially, and economically (Matthew 4:23; Luke 12:23-32).
