STATEMENT OF BELIEFS:
1. We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3. We believe that through the atonement of Jesus Christ all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel;
4. We believe that these ordinaces are: 1st - Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; 2nd - Repentance; 3rd - Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and 4th - Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God by prophecy and by laying on of hands by those who are in authority to preach the gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church. Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists, etc.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9. We believe all the God has revealed, all that he does now reveal, and we believe that he will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the 10 Tribes, that Zion will be built upon this continent, that Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiac glory.
11. We claim privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same privilege. Let them worship how, where or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magistrates in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous and in doing good to all men. Indeed we may say we follow the admonition of Paul, "we believe all things, we hope all things," we have endured many things and hope to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
