Something to know first...
We believe that your belief system should be a platform to build on and not a cage to restrict. While we are most closely aligned with the Assemblies of God in their fundamental truths we also allow for people to be on their own journey to Christ. Thankfully, Jesus doesn't require that we have it all figured out to follow Him.
Below are a few main ideas and how we feel about them. You can share our perspective or have your own - we don't require you to agree with us to be a part of the family. We're all on a journey towards Jesus. And He's pretty good at sorting out what needs sorting. We'd rather let Him do His job and we'll do ours.

God
Jesus
We believe that there is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator, and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man."
Humankind
Redemption
We believe that humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death, and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
We believe in the victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness, and torment. Through this redemption - won for us and freely offered - we are tasked with the responsibility of redeeming others on His behalf.
Salvation
The Church
We believe that we are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing, and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
We believe that the Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His Church the ordinances of baptism and communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, and discipling the nations – baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
The Holy Spirit
The Bible
We believe in the ongoing, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister super-naturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4, is poured out on believers that they might have God’s power to be His witnesses and demonstrate His wonders.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. We believe that while God may've chosen human hands to write and compile the Bible we hold today, He is the sovereign author of it all and is an expert at communicating it's truth to us as He sees fit.
The End
We believe that Heaven and Hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the lost and the saved, the one to everlasting death and the other to everlasting life.
