About Us
We are a small church with a big heart for God and for others.
We welcome you to visit us and experience God's love like you
have never known before.
Our Mission
The purpose of this assembly shall be to establish and maintain
a place of worship to God for the purpose of: (1) seeing the
lost saved and set free from bondage. John 3:16 For God so loved
the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John
8:36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. (2)
To see supernatural healing. 1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that
we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose
stripes you were healed. (3) To see people draw closer to God.
James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
Our 16 Fundamental Truths
This "Statement of Fundamental Truths" contains the 16 doctrines
of the Assemblies of God. These are non-negotiable tenets of
faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to. Four of
these, Salvation, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Divine
Healing, and the Second Coming of Christ are considered Cardinal
Doctrines which are essential to the church's core mission of
reaching the world for Christ.
Assemblies Of God Statement Of Fundamental Truths
The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice.
This Statement of Fundamental Truths is intended simply as a
basis of fellowship among us (i.e., that we all speak the same
thing, 1 Corinthians 1:10 [KJV/NIV]; Acts 2:42 [KJV/NIV]). The
phraseology employed in this Statement is not inspired nor
contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential
to a full-gospel ministry. No claim is made that it covers all
Biblical truth, only that it covers our need as to these
fundamental doctrines.

1. The Scriptures Inspired
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally
inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the
infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 [KJV/NIV]
1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV/NIV]
2 Peter 1:21 [KJV/NIV]
(TOP)
2. The One True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally
self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the
Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as
embodying the principles of relationship and association as
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4 [KJV/NIV]
Isaiah 43:10,11 [KJV/NIV]
Matthew 28:19 [KJV/NIV]
Luke 3:22 [KJV/NIV]
The Adorable Godhead
a. Terms Defined
The terms "Trinity" and "persons" as related to the Godhead,
while not found in the Scriptures, are words in harmony with
Scripture, whereby we may convey to others our immediate
understanding of the doctrine of Christ respecting the Being of
God, as distinguished from "gods many and lords many." We
therefore may speak with propriety of the Lord our God who is
One Lord, as a trinity or as one Being of three persons, and
still be absolutely scriptural.
Matthew 28:19 [KJV/NIV]
2 Corinthians 13:14 [KJV/NIV]
John 14:16-17 [KJV/NIV]
b. Distinction and Relationship in the Godhead
Christ taught a distinction of Persons in the Godhead which He
expressed in specific terms of relationship, as Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit, but that this distinction and relationship, as to
its mode is inscrutable and incomprehensible, because
unexplained.
Luke 1:35 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 1:24 [KJV/NIV]
Matthew 11:25-27 [KJV/NIV]
Matthew 28:19 [KJV/NIV]
2 Corinthians 13:14 [KJV/NIV]
1 John 1:3-4 [KJV/NIV])
c. Unity of the One Being of Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Accordingly, therefore, there is that in the Father which
constitutes him the Father and not the Son; there is that in the
Son which constitutes Him the Son and not the Father; and there
is that in the Holy Spirit which constitutes Him the Holy Spirit
and not either the Father or the Son. Wherefore the Father is
the Begetter, the Son is the Begotten, and the Holy Spirit is
the one proceeding from the Father and the Son. Therefore,
because these three persons in the Godhead are in a state of
unity, there is but one Lord God Almighty and His name one.
John 1:18 [KJV/NIV]
John 15:26 [KJV/NIV]
John 17:11 [KJV/NIV]
John 17:21 [KJV/NIV]
Zechariah 14:9 [KJV/NIV]
d. Identity and Cooperation in the Godhead
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are never identical as
to Person; nor confused as to relation; nor divided in respect
to the Godhead; nor opposed as to cooperation. The Son is in the
Father and the Father is in the Son as to relationship. The Son
is with the Father and the Father is with the Son, as to
fellowship. The Father is not from the Son, but the Son is from
the Father, as to authority. The Holy Spirit is from the Father
and the Son proceeding, as to nature, relationship, cooperation
and authority. Hence, neither Person in the Godhead either
exists or works separately or independently of the others.
John 5:17-30 [KJV/NIV]
John 5:32 [KJV/NIV]
John 5:37 [KJV/NIV]
John 8:17,18 [KJV/NIV]
e. The Title, Lord Jesus Christ
The appellation, "Lord Jesus Christ," is a proper name. It is
never applied in the New Testament, either to the Father or to
the Holy Spirit. It therefore belongs exclusively to the Son of
God.
Romans 1:1-3 [KJV/NIV]
2 John 1:3 [KJV/NIV
f. The Lord Jesus Christ, God with Us
The Lord Jesus Christ, as to His divine and eternal nature, is
the proper and only Begotten of the Father, but as to His human
nature, He is the proper Son of Man. He is therefore,
acknowledged to be both God and man; who because He is God and
man is "Immanuel," God with us.
Matthew 1:23 [KJV/NIV]
1 John 4:2 [KJV/NIV]
1 John 4:10 [KJV/NIV]
1 John 4:14 [KJV/NIV]
Revelation 1:13 [KJV/NIV]
Revelation 1:17 [KJV/NIV]
g. The Title, Son of God
Since the name "Immanuel" embraces both God and man in the one
Person, our Lord Jesus Christ, it follows that the title, Son of
God, describes His proper deity, and the title, Son of Man, His
proper humanity. Therefore, the title Son of God, belongs to the
order of eternity, and the title, Son of Man, to the order of
time.
Matthew 1:21-23 [KJV/NIV]
2 John 1:3 [KJV/NIV]
1 John 3:8 [KJV/NIV]
Hebrews 7:3 [KJV/NIV]
Hebrews 1:1-13 [KJV/NIV]
h. Transgression of the Doctrine of Christ
Wherefore, it is a transgression of the Doctrine of Christ to
say that Jesus Christ derived the title, Son of God, solely from
the fact of the incarnation, or because of His relation to the
economy of redemption. Therefore, to deny that the Father is a
real and eternal Father, and that the Son is a real and eternal
Son, is a denial of the distinction and relationship in the
Being of God; a denial of the Father, and the Son; and a
displacement of the truth that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh.

John 1:49 [KJV/NIV]
1 John 2:22,23 [KJV/NIV]
1 John 4:1-5 [KJV/NIV]
Hebrews 12:2 [KJV/NIV]
i. Exaltation of Jesus Christ as Lord
The Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, having by Himself purged
our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
angels and principalities and powers having been made subject
unto Him. And having been made both Lord and Christ, He sent the
Holy Spirit that we, in the name of Jesus, might bow our knees
and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the
Father until the end, when the Son shall become subject to the
Father that God may be all in all.
Hebrews 1:3 [KJV/NIV]
1 Peter 3:22 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 2:32-36 [KJV/NIV]
Romans 14:11 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 15:24-28 [KJV/NIV]
j. Equal Honor to the Father and to the Son
Wherefore, since the Father has delivered all judgment unto the
Son, it is not only the express duty of all in heaven and on
earth to bow the knee, but it is an unspeakable joy in the Holy
Spirit to ascribe unto the Son all the attributes of Deity, and
to give Him all honor and the glory contained in all the names
and titles of the Godhead except those which express
relationship (see Distinction and Relationship in the Godhead,
Unity of the One Being of Father, Son and Holy Spirit , and
Identity and Cooperation in the Godhead) and thus honor the Son
even as we honor the Father.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures
declare:
His virgin birth,
Matthew 1:23 [KJV/NIV]
Luke 1:31 [KJV/NIV]
Luke 1:35 [KJV/NIV]
His sinless life,
Hebrews 7:26 [KJV/NIV]
1 Peter 2:22 [KJV/NIV]
His miracles,
Acts 2:22 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 10:38 [KJV/NIV]
His substitutionary work on the cross,
1 Corinthians 15:3 [KJV/NIV]
2 Corinthians 5:21 [KJV/NIV]
His bodily resurrection from the dead,
Matthew 28:6 [KJV/NIV]

Acts 1:11 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 2:33 [KJV/NIV]
Philippians 2:9-11 [KJV/NIV]
Hebrews 1:3 [KJV/NIV]
(TOP)
4. The Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man
in our own image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary
transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death
but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
Genesis 1:26,27 [KJV/NIV]
Genesis 2:17 [KJV/NIV]
Genesis 3:6 [KJV/NIV]
Romans 5:12-19 [KJV/NIV]
(TOP)
5. The Salvation of Man
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus
Christ the Son of God.
Conditions to Salvation
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith
toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and
renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through
faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of
eternal life.
Luke 24:47 [KJV/NIV]
John 3:3 [KJV/NIV]
Romans 10:13-15 [KJV/NIV]
Ephesians 2:8 [KJV/NIV]
Titus 2:11 [KJV/NIV]
Titus 3:5-7 [KJV/NIV]
The Evidence of Salvation
The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the
Spirit.
Romans 8:16 [KJV/NIV]
The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and
true holiness.
Ephesians 4:24 [KJV/NIV]
Titus 2:12 [KJV/NIV]
(TOP)
6. The Ordinances of the Church
Baptism in Water
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the
Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Saviour and
Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that
they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised
with Him to walk in newness of life.
Matthew 28:19 [KJV/NIV]
Mark 16:16 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 10:47,48 [KJV/NIV]
Romans 6:4 [KJV/NIV]
Holy Communion
The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements --bread and the
fruit of the vine-- is the symbol expressing our sharing the
divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4 [KJV/NIV]),
a memorial of his suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26
[KJV/NIV]), and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians
11:26 [KJV/NIV]), and is enjoined on all believers "till He
come!"
(TOP)
7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and
earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the
Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus
Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early
Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life
and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the
work of the ministry.
Luke 24:49 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 1:4 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 1:8 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 12:1-31 [KJV/NIV]
This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the
experience of the new birth.
Acts 8:12-17 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 10:44-46 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 11:14-16 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 15:7-9 [KJV/NIV]
With the baptism in the Holy Spirit come such experiences as:
an overflowing fullness of the Spirit, John 7:37-39 [KJV/NIV],
Acts 4:8 [KJV/NIV]
a deepened reverence for God, Acts 2:43 [KJV/NIV], Hebrews 12:28
[KJV/NIV]
an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work,
Acts 2:42 [KJV/NIV]
and a more active love for Christ, for His Word and for the
lost, Mark 16:20 [KJV/NIV]
(TOP)
8. The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy
Spirit
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the
initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the
Spirit of God gives them utterance.
Acts 2:4 [KJV/NIV]
The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence
as the gift of tongues, but is different in purpose and use.
1 Corinthians 12:4-10 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 12:28 [KJV/NIV]
(TOP)
9. Sanctification
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil,
and of dedication unto God.
Romans 12:1,2 [KJV/NIV]
1 Thessalonians 5:23 [KJV/NIV]
Hebrews 13:12 [KJV/NIV]
The Scriptures teach a life of "holiness without which no man
shall see the Lord."
Hebrews 12:14 [KJV/NIV]
By the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to obey the command:
"Be ye holy, for I am holy."
1 Peter 1:15,16 [KJV/NIV]
Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his
identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by
the faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by
offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy
Spirit.
Romans 6:1-11 [KJV/NIV]
Romans 6:13 [KJV/NIV]
Romans 8:1,2 [KJV/NIV]
Romans 8:13 [KJV/NIV]

10. The Church and its Mission
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through
the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her
great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an
integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the
Firstborn, which are written in heaven.
Ephesians 1:22,23 [KJV/NIV]
Ephesians 2:22 [KJV/NIV]
Hebrews 12:23 [KJV/NIV]
Since God’s purpose concerning man is to seek and to save that
which is lost, to be worshipped by man, to build a body of
believers in the image of His Son, and to demonstrate His love
and compassion for all the world, the priority reason for being
of the Assemblies of God as part of the Church is:
To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world.
Acts 1:8 [KJV/NIV]
Matthew 28:19,20 [KJV/NIV]
Mark 16:15,16 [KJV/NIV]
To be a corporate body in which man may worship God.
1 Corinthians 12:13 [KJV/NIV]
To be a channel of God’s purpose to build a body of saints being
perfected in the image of His Son.
Ephesians 4:11-16 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 12:28 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 14:12 [KJV/NIV]
To be a people who demonstrate God’s love and compassion for all
the world.
Psalms 112:9 [KJV/NIV]
Galatians 2:10; 6:10 [KJV/NIV]
James 1:27 [KJV/NIV]
The Assemblies of God exists expressly to give continuing
emphasis to this reason for being in the New Testament apostolic
pattern by teaching and encouraging believers to be baptized in
the Holy Spirit. This experience:
Enables them to evangelize in the power of the Spirit with
accompanying supernatural signs.
Mark 16:15-20 [KJV/NIV]
Acts 4:29-31 [KJV/NIV]
Hebrews 2:3,4 [KJV/NIV]
Adds a necessary dimension to worshipful relationship with God.
1 Corinthians 2:10-16 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 12 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 13 [KJV/NIV]
1 Corinthians 14 [KJV/NIV]
Enables them to respond to the full working of the Holy Spirit
in expression of fruit and gifts and ministries as in New
Testament times for the edifying of the body of Christ and care
for the poor and needy of the world.

from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the
privilege of all believers.

James 5:14-16 [KJV/NIV]

13. The Blessed Hope
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and
their translation together with those who are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of
the church.

15. The Final Judgment
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be
raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not
found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and
his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned
to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
