WE BELIEVE �
THE BIBLE is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God. �In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...� (John 1:1, 14a)
THE ONENESS OF GOD � the Godhead consists of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost � perfectly united as one. (Matthew 3:16-17, I John 5:7)
THE DIETY OF JESUS CHRIST, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His descension into the inner part of the earth preaching to the spirits and taking the keys from satan, His death on the cross (fulfilling all prophecy), and His resurrection and ascension into Heaven until He returns for His Bride the Church.
REPENTENCE is a Godly sorrow for sin with the renunciation of that sin, truly turning away from it through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 55:7, Matthew 4:17, John 14:6)
SALVATION is the act of God�s grace whereby we receive forgiveness for sins and stand before God as though we have never sinned. (Romans 5:1, II Corinthians 5:17)
SANCTIFICATION OR HOLINESS is the act of God whereby we are made holy, is subsequent to salvation, and that without holiness it is impossible to see God. (John 17:15-21, Hebrews 12:14 & 13:12, Romans 6:19, Galatians 5:16-25)
WATER BAPTISM is the total immersion in water as commanded by Jesus.
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST is the endowment of power from on high upon the sanctified life, and it is promised to them that obey God. (John 14:16-17 & 26, Acts 1:5-8, 2:1-4, 2:38-39, 5:32)
DIVINE HEALING through the laying on of hands for sickness is provided through the atonement. (James 5:14-16, I Peter 2:24)
IN THE USE OF PRAYER CLOTHS as a point of contact for healing and deliverance from any oppressive acts of satan. (Acts 19:12)
ETERNAL HEAVEN AND ETERNAL HELL are literal places of final destiny, each as eternal as the other. Jesus has prepared Heaven as a home to those souls having their sins under His blood covered by His righteousness. The souls condemned to hell are those that haven�t believed in Jesus Christ, not repenting of their sins, and they will be cast into the Lake of Fire eternally. (Matthew 25:41-46, Luke 16:19-31)
MARRIAGE is between one man and one woman after taking vows before God. (Mark 10:6-8, Romans 7:1-2)
IN CARING FOR WIDOWS, ORPHANS, THE DISABLED, AND POOR FAMILIES through the appointment of Godly men to handle these tasks. (Acts 6:1-8, Hebrews 13:2)
IN EQUALITY AMONG CHRISTIANS � all are equal regardless of denomination, financial standing, race, background or gender. All people born into the Family of God are equal before God.
THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL to all people regardless of race, financial standing, community standing - to prisoners, shut-ins, street people, the insane - to take the Gospel and deliver it to all, offering them an abundant life in Christ - taking the Gospel into all the world. (Mark 16:15-18)
IN TITHES AND OFFERINGS � tithes are 10% of all earnings and given for support of the Church and Ministry. (Malachi 3:8-10) Offerings are freely given for the Ministry to use in feeding the poor and spreading the Gospel. (Matthew 10:8, Luke 6:38, 12:33)
THE LORD�S SUPPER or Communion is an institution ordained by Jesus so that we might remember His death until His return. (Matthew 26:26-29, I Corinthians 11:23-26)
WASHING OF THE FEET is practiced according to the example and commandment Jesus gave. (John 13:14-15)

Statement by Founder/Evangelist Donald W. George: Any person working with the Ministry will be working for one common goal � �to lead the lost to Christ�. Doctrine of any denomination is not taught and our goal is to get new converts grounded in a Bible-believing church under a Pastor who will teach them. This is a non-denominational, non-profit Ministry and we realize that everyone may not agree on the same doctrine. Therefore we must preach Jesus to the lost, who is Love, and a chance to have liberty and eternal life. Let us proceed into the hi-ways and bi-ways seeking out the lost, the throw-aways of society.
In Christ, Bro. Donald W. George (Founder/Evangelist) Sis. Kimberly M. George
