We are born again when we believe in Jesus to save us from sin and hell. Born again means made alive unto God, secure in a heavenly destiny and indwelt by The Father, Son and Spirit. The Filling of the Holy Spirit is commanded. It begins at new birth and is renewed by the confession of sins. The Filling of the Holy Spirit includes: encouraging the church with psalms and spiritual songs and hymns; singing and heartfelt music directed to the Lord Jesus Christ; giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The purpose of Church leadership is to duplicate itself by equipping the saved for the work of service, building up the body of Christ. These ends are accomplished through Bible teaching and Biblical exhortation.

Partaking of the Lord's body and blood in communion is commanded in Luke 22:14-20; John 6:27.32,35,47-51,53-58; I Cor. 10:3-5,14-22; 11:20-34. Healings, deliverances and divine comfort are Bible certifications of apostolic authority. You are encouraged to come when sick or ailing, and bring your sick and ailing family and friends. Prayer for the church is a high Bible priority in Eph.6:18-20. Tithing is affirmed in Heb.7:2,4-10. Exhortation to sacrificial additional giving is affirmed in II Cor. 8&9. The Citizens United ruling allows tax exempt companies, including churches, into politics. We will oppose persecution. With respect to notorious atrocities, such as, genocide and abortion, our church can be expected to decry them, in God’s stead, in every forum.
