THE EMPOWERMENT AND GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe believers are called to live and minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We affirm the baptism and empowering work of the Holy Spirit for Christian witness, prayer, worship, ministry, and mission.

We affirm speaking in tongues as a biblical evidence associated with the baptism and empowering activity of the Holy Spirit, as demonstrated in the book of Acts.

We believe the gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit continue to operate within the Church today.

Every spiritual gift, manifestation, prophetic utterance, ministry expression, and supernatural claim must remain under:

the Lordship of Jesus Christ,
the authority of Holy Scripture,
the governance of love,
the pursuit of edification,
and appropriate spiritual accountability.
