We believe the Bible is God’s infallible word, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
In it, God reveals Himself and directs us in all our relationships and activities.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Mark 13:31; John 8:31,32; John 20:31; Acts 20:32
THE TRIUNITY
God is a mystery yet He reveals Himself to us. He is a triune Godhead. We believe He is the only true living God, eternally existing in three Persons, that are completely equal in divine perfection and inseparable. The Godhead carries out distinct but harmonious activities in the work of creation, providence, and redemption.
Genesis 1:1, 26; John 1:1-3; Matthew 28:19; John 4:24; Romans 1:19:19-20; Ephesians 4:5-6
GOD THE FATHER
We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit; Who is Love, Holiness, Righteousness, Wisdom, Power. We know the Father works all things together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. We believe He hears and answers prayer according to His sovereign will and that He saves from sin and heals all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
Luke 10:21-22; Matthew 23:9; John 3:16; 6:27; Romans 1:7; Romans 8:28; 1 Timothy 1:1-2; 2:5-6; 1 Peter 1:3;
Revelation 1:6
JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ is God. The one and only begotten Son of the Father conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary attonement for our sins, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, continuing intercession for people before His Father and His personal visible return.
Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; John 1:1; Romans 9:5; 8:46; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:21-23; John 20:30-31; Matthew 20:28; Ephesians 1:4; Acts 1:11; Romans 5:6-10; Hebrews 9:28; 1 Timothery3:16
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came from the Father and Son to bring the new birth, to dwell in the hearts of believer, to pray through believers, to endue believers with power and to complete the establishment of the Kingdom of God in the earth.
John 14, 15, 16; Romans 8:9-26; 1 Corinthians 5:20
REDEMPTION
We believe the shed blood of Jesus Christ redeems us from death to life and life is about returning home—to the state our Father God created us to enjoy. The supremacy of Jesus Christ the King is our only hope in finding our way back home. He is our only solution to the problem of sin. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus triumphed over sin and death. He promises to rescue, renew and bring peace to all that have faith in Him. Only in Him will we find the fullness of life here on earth and in heaven. As He said, “ I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
John 14:6; Colossians 1:12-20; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 57; Ephesians 1:7; Psalm 49:7
THE CHURCH
We believe in the Spiritual Kingdom of God made up of born again believers, a living spiritual body in which Jesus Christ is the head. The local church being the visible expression of the body of Christ Jesus in the earth, consists of believers who meet together regularly in small groups and corporately in Worship services. We believe the church is what God is going to use to demonstrate His grace, prosperity and power to the lost and dying world.
The Book of Ephesians; Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:23-25
CHRISTIAN CONDUCT
We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God and the well being of others. Their conduct should be blameless before the world; that they should be faithful stewards of His possessions; and that they should seek in themselves and others a deepening of their vital relationship with Jesus to full maturity.
1 Corinthians 10:31; Romans 12:1-3; Hebrews 12:1-2; John 14:15, 22, 24; 1 John 2:2-6; 2 Corinthians 9:6-9;
1 Corinthians 4:2; Colossians 1:9,10
SPIRITUAL GIFTS
We believe that all the spiritual gifts are still in operation today by the Holy Spirit through the born again believer including the gift of healing, prophecy, and tongues.
1 Corinthians 12;13-14
FIVEFOLD MINISTRY
We believe in the apostolic gifts that Jesus Christ gave to the church before he ascended to heaven. He gave some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors, and some teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the edifying of the body of Christ, til we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Ephesians 4:9-13; 1 Corinthians 12:29-30
LAST DAYS EVENTS
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the blessed hope of the Church.
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for one thousand years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of the nation of Israel and the establishment of universal peace.
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil, and his angels, and beast and false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
