God

We believe there is only one true God who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE parts: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible and that He created the existing universe as indicated in Genesis.

We believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. He is the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us, living a sinless life. Christ died, was buried and rose again so we could have salvation, healing, deliverance and eternal life through Him. Jesus ascended to Heaven and will return in power and glory for His victorious church. 

We believe Holy Spirit comforts, teaches, leads, indwells and empowers all who are born again disciples of Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1:1; Mark 12:29; Matthew 1:18-25; Colossians 2:9  John 3:16-17 and 16:5-15; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Philippians 2:5-11

Church

We believe the church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. The church exists to carry on His ministry, preaching the gospel, making disciples (teaching them to love and obey His commands), baptizing in His name, taking communion together, connecting and growing together, to impact the nations and advance His kingdom.

Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:16-25; Deuteronomy 6:4

Bible

We believe in the accepted canon of scripture as the infallible and authoritative Word of God, instructing us in all areas of life including human behavior such as marriage, family, sexuality, morality, and ethics. Every believer has a responsibility to know the Word, so they may know the truth which will set them free.

John 1:1; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 8:31-32; Hebrews 4:12

Salvation

We believe that humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him. Adam and Eve’s sin introduced sickness, death, and judgment into the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.

We believe the death and resurrection of Jesus accomplished the atonement of sin for all. Now, anyone can have eternal salvation by God’s grace, by accepting they have sinned, believing that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected for them, and confessing Him as their Lord and Savior. No one may earn, merit, or keep eternal salvation by their own efforts. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.

Isaiah 53:4-6; John 3:16-17 and 5:24; 1 John 1:9; Romans 5-8; Titus 3:5-7; Ephesians 2:4-6

Christian Life

We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in order to fulfill the command of Christ.

We believe the ongoing, sanctifying power of God by the baptism of Holy Spirit is poured out on believers and is evidenced by speaking in tongues, power to be His witnesses and to conquer sin. The indwelling of Holy Spirit in the Christian enables them to live a holy life and minister supernaturally.

 We believe in God’s saving, healing and delivering power available through faith in Christ. Spiritual authority to receive and operate in the gifts of Holy Spirit is the right and responsibility God gave us as His disciples. This is for the benefit of the church and advancing God’s Kingdom so all may know and follow Him.

Matthew 28:18-19; Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Exodus 15:26; Mark 16:14-20; James 5:14-16

Christ's Return & Eternity

We believe in the ever-increasing government of God and in the coming, glorious and visible return of Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride – the church.

We believe heaven and hell are real places. Believers in Jesus Christ will spend eternal life in heaven with God. Those who choose to not accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will experience eternal torment in hell. God’s desire is that all should have eternal life.

Acts 1:9-11; Mark 16:19; Matthew 24:29-31,42; Romans 6:23; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
