1. We believe the Holy Bible is the only inspired, infallible,
and authoritative source of Christian faith and living.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally present in three persons;
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, John 1:1-4)
3. We believe that man was created in the image of God,
but as a result of sin is lost and powerless to save himself.
(Genesis 1:26; 2:16-17; Romans 6:23)
4. We believe that the Son of God the Father, Jesus, as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to the Father. Jesus lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory over every sin, sickness and limitation, and empowered us for life to the fullest. We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the “new birth”, we must believe Jesus is the Son of God the Father, confess and turn from our sins, and submit to His will for our lives.
(Romans 10:9-10l, 13; John 3:16; Ephesians 2:1-10)
5. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells all believers enabling them to live a Christ-like life exhibiting Godly character by His grace which empowers us to do what we cannot do on our own. Each believer is given at least one gift (anointing) by the Holy Spirit. We believe the most important evidence of the Holy Spirit in one's life is LOVE... passionate love for God and a true, genuine love for all people! The Holy Spirit also desires to infill believers with the power of praying/speaking in the Spirit (tongues) as He gives the utterance, for the purpose of enabling us to speak God's perfect will in every situation.
(Luke 11:13; Acts 1:8, 2:1-4, 8:17, 10:44-46, 19:6; Galations 5:22-23;
1 Corinthians 12 and 13)
6. We believe that eternal life in heaven is the reward of all who believe in and receive Jesus as their Savior, and submit their life to Him.
(Jn.3:16-17; Lk.23:43; Jn.14:2-3)
7. We believe that those who reject Jesus are condemned to an eternity in hell apart from God’s presence.
(John 14:6; John 3:18; Revelation 21:8)
8. We believe that salvation is by grace and through faith alone. No amount of good works will produce justification before God. We further believe that the manifestation of faith and grace is a holy life expressed through righteous works.
(Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 12:14; James 2:14-24; 1 Peter 1:13-16;
Matthew 5:13-16)
9. We believe in the calling and gifting of various ministries in the Church, including but not limited to apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists. We believe that the Church has responsibility for recognizing, equipping, and commissioning these various ministries for the edification of the Body of Christ.
(Ephesians 4:11-13; 1 Corinthians 12:12-30; Romans 12:3-8)
10. We believe in the finished work of Jesus for our divine healing (physical, emotional, and spiritual) and prosperity in every area our our lives.
(Isaiah 53:4; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24-25)
11. We believe in two sacraments of the Church;
1) Water Baptism by submersion, and 2) Holy Communion.
(Acts 2:38; Matthew 26:26-30)
12. We believe in the personal return of Jesus, the consummation of the Kingdom of God, and the restitution of all things spoken by the mouth of all the prophets since the world began.
(Matthew 24:42-44; Acts 1:11; 3:19-21; Revelation 11:15)
