What Do We BELIEVE?

We believe that the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testament) contain all things necessary for salvation. We believe in God, the Father, Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ-His only Son, Our Lord. Who was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, who was crucified, died, was buried and arose on the third day. We believe he ascended into heaven and there sits at God's right hand. From there Christ shall return to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Ghost, the One Universal Church, the forgiveness of sins, resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
