• We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides salvation for the soul of everyone that believes and divine healing for the body.

• We believe in the freedom of the Christian from sin, and the consequent blessing of being bond servants of Christ; and that it exhibits our fruit unto holiness and life everlasting (Romans 6:22).Romans 6:2222 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
