What We Believe
About the Bible
About the Bible: The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. ( II Timothy 3:16)
About God: There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16)
About Sin and Salvation: Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Our basic and fundamental doctrine shall be the Bible standard of full salvation, which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; I Peter 3:20,21; Mark 16:16; Titus 3:5)
About the Gospel: The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). ( I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4)
About Christian Living: As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10)
About the Future: Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.)

Meet Our Senior Pastor
Edward & Sister Becky Pacheco
One Lord, One Faith & One Baptism... Ephesians 4:5
Pastor Edward Pacheco began his ministry when he was ordained in 1971. He took
his first pastorship in Fontana, Ca. in 1980. In 1984 he was called
to the mission field and worked in Santiago, Chile until 1988. He also
supervised the work in Argentina and Uruguay. While in the mission
field, he founded I.B.A.C.H., a bible college as well as two radio
programs where he preached the gospel. From 1989-1990, he pastored
in Gilroy, Ca. He also served two terms working on the General Board
of Directors of Apostolic Assembly as Secretary of Foreign Missions where he traveled throughout
Europe, South America, and the Carribean. From 2006 to 2010 he served as General Secretary of the same. In 1992 he took over the
pastorship of Strong Tower church in Corona.
First lady Rebecca Pacheco was born in Yuma, Az. She grew up with the priviledged heritage of being a pastor’s daughter. This proved to be a valuable asset in working alongside her husband in the pastorship and in the mission field, where she overcame her shy nature and allowed God to use her to speak to the ladies of the church as well as using her artistic gifts.
