Statement of Beliefs

The ELHC Statement of Beliefs is an explanation of the foundation upon which this ministry is built, as well as information concerning what is being taught from the pulpit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He was crucified, dead and buried. On the third day, He arose from the dead, and ascended on high where He took His seat at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty until His enemies become His footstool.

We believe in the rapture, that the dead in Christ will rise first and that those who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet Jesus in the air.

We believe that after death, eternal life begins either in heaven or in hell. We believe where one spends eternity is decided by whether or not he/she has made the decision to receive Jesus Christ into his/her heart as Lord and Savior according to God's Word.

We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking tongues.

We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God. We believe in divine healing (which is the restoration of health to one who believes and acts on God's Word).

We believe in tithing and bringing offerings into the local church. We also believe in giving alms, and caring for the poor, the sick, the homeless, and the otherwise unfortunate.

We believe in water baptism. We believe in the name of Jesus, and the authority invested in that name.
