We Believe
The most important command that we have been given is to love one another just as Jesus loved us (John 13:34). The most important doctrinal statement that we have is that we are committed to walking in the love of Christ by which all men will know that we are His disciples. The love of God expressed through our lives is the proof that we have passed from death unto life (John 13:35; 1 John 3:14). It is not possible to express the love of God unless we have been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ and born of the Holy Spirit. Once we are washed with the water of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost we will have the fruits of the Spirit in all goodness, righteousness and truth (Titus 3:5; Galatians 5:22; Ephesians 5:2,9).
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment – Hebrews 6:1-2
Statement of Doctrines
The following is only a highlight of those doctrines, which we practice and thus believe for the Bible is an inexhaustible book.

[43] The Greek word ‘paraclete’ is translated by the Authorized Version ‘comforter, intercessor, advocate.’ However, He is all of these things and more for He is “another Paraclete” just as Jesus was (John 14:16).
