Beliefs

We believe that there is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator, and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. We believe that since the Bible is the inspired Word of God, it is then authoritative in all areas of human behavior, including marriage, family, sexuality, morality, and ethics.  1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16

We believe that humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death, and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin. All individuals are born with a sin nature that affects their motivation, affection, volition, and actions. The results of sin include separation from God and death. Romans 3:10,23; 6:23; 14:23; James 4:17; 1 John 5:17

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man." Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:21; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18

We believe that we are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing, and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters. 

We believe that the victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness, and torment. Romans 5:11; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22

We believe in the ongoing, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister supernaturally. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a distinct aspect of the Christian foundational experience with the initial physical evidence of speaking in tongues as well as evidences such as empowerment to witness, to conquer sin and to live a holy life.
Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 19:6

We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit as manifested in the Early Church and enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12-14.

We believe that the Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His Church the ordinances of baptism and communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, and discipling the nations – baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God. The Church of Jesus Christ is the last instrument that God is using to extend His kingdom prior to the second coming of Christ. Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 1:20-23; 3:10
