The Handbook
Basis of Faith
We believe in ONE GOD, Eternal, manifested spiritually as
three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We believe the Scriptures are a gift from God and are
divinely inspired and infallible. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God's manifestation in the flesh.
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, in His
humanity, His divine miracles, the atoning sacrifice of His
death, the resurrection of His body and His return in power
and glory.
We believe in the salvation of the lost through the shedding
of the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ by our Father in Him.
We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in the lives of the
believers and aid and empower us through Faith in Him.
We believe in the unity of the Holy Spirit of all true believers
in the Church, the Body of Christ. For all Races, all People, all Citizens
