The Word of God
WE BELIEVE ...
That the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error. The Word of God is the foundation for The Spoken Word Christian Church and it is by His Word that we are governed. The Word of God supersedes any earthly law that is contrary to the Holy Scriptures. (Isaiah 28:13; Nehemiah 8:8; John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:23-25; 2 Peter 1:3-4 and 1:21).

The Holy Spirit
WE BELIEVE ...
The Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide. By the Spirits indwelling the believer is sealed until the day of redemption, and by whose filling, the believer is empowered to live a godly life. (John 6:13, 14:16-17 and 16:8-11; Romans 8:26).

Salvation
WE BELIEVE ...
That all people are sinners and as such are in condemnation separated from God. However, Jesus came so that all could be saved by faith in Him and by confessing His name as Lord and Savior of their lives. (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:1-3 and 8-9; Romans 3:23 and 5:8; Titus 3:5).

The Church

Eternity
WE BELIEVE ...
In a literal Heaven and a literal Hell and that all those who place their faith, hope and trust in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord, while those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation will spend eternity separated from the Lord.
