We Believe…
WE BELIEVE…The Holy Bible is inspired by God and declares His design and plan for mankind.
WE BELIEVE…There is only One True God–revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
WE BELIEVE…In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s Son Jesus was both human and divine.
WE BELIEVE…That the Holy Spirit indwells every believer at Salvation and gives Spiritual gifts for use in ministry and service and to edify and build up the Church.
WE BELIEVE…Though originally good, Man willingly fell to sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
WE BELIEVE…Every person can have restored fellowship with God through ‘Salvation’ (accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness for sin).
WE BELIEVE…That salvation is by grace alone and not any work or effort that man may perform. Salvation is not initiated nor maintained by works. The power of God that saves is the same power which keeps eternally secure and preserves. (1 Peter 1:4-5)
WE BELIEVE…And practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
WE BELIEVE… That the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 1:8 is an expected experience for every Believer. It empowers Believers for witnessing and effective service.
WE BELIEVE…Sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
WE BELIEVE…The mission of the church is to make disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE…A divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry, according to Ephesians 4:11-12, equips the saints for the work of the ministry. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church.
WE BELIEVE…That Divine Healing is available today because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
WE BELIEVE…That Jesus is visibly returning to earth and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we which are alive will join them in the air to forever be with the Lord
WE BELIEVE…A Final Judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire. We absolutely reject the false doctrine that all men are already saved or will ultimately be saved apart from personal repentance and faith in Jesus Christ (The so-called “Inclusion Gospel” or Universalism).
