WE BELIEVE...The Scriptures are Inspired by God and
declare His design and plan for mankind.
WE BELIEVE...There is only One True God–revealed
in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
WE BELIEVE...In
the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.
WE
BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both
physical and spiritual, into the world.
WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship
with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal
Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water
Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation,
and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering
and death for our salvation.
WE BELIEVE...the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience
Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in
New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE... The Initial Physical Evidence
of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost
and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
WE BELIEVE...Sanctification Initially Occurs at
Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating
from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
WE BELIEVE...The
Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the
Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption
(regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE...A
Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The
Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other
believers, and to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church.
WE BELIEVE...Divine
Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial
death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE...in The Blessed
Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future
moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who
are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE
BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming
and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel
and the establishment of universal peace.
WE BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for
those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake
of fire.
WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that
Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following
His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
