What We Believe
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, and only infallible, authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16,17).
2. We believe there is one God, Creator of all things, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:15).
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ in His incarnation, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed Blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His priestly ministry.
(1 Timothy 3:16, Romans 3:25,26)
4. We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor.
(Acts 1:8, Mark 16:15-18)
5. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God (Hebrews 9:22; Jude 24-25).
6. We believe that sanctification, holiness and the overcoming life is God's design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25-27).
7. We believe that sexual purity is a necessary expression for all of God's children and requires abstinence from adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, or other sexual relationships or practices forbidden by Scripture (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 6:18; Leviticus 18:1-30).
8. We believe that God created mankind as two distinct sexes: male and female and that each person affirms God's infinite wisdom by living in alignment with their birth sex (Genesis 1:26-28).
9. We believe that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for lifetime and is a sacred institution established by God (Matthew 19:4-6).
10. We believe that Baptism is for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and is to be administered by immersion, thus bearing witness to the gospel of Christ's death, burial and resurrection for us, and our own new life in
Him (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4).
11. We believe that Communion, when shared by believers, witnesses to the saving power of the gospel, to Christ's presence in His church, and looks forward to His victorious return (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
13. We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries, and in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:46; Ephesians 4:11; 1 Corinthians 12:8-11; Galatians 5:22-23).
14. We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the Atonement (1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17).
15. we believe in Christ's imminent personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion (Acts 1:8; Revelations 1:7; Daniel 7:14).
16. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment (John 5:28-29; Revelations 20:25).
17. We believe in the physical and spiritual restoration of Israel, as taught in the Scriptures, and God's end-time plan for the nation of Israel. We believe Israel is distinct from the church and central to God's plan, past, present, and future (Genesis 28:13).
