-
WE BELIEVE...The
Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare 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...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...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...the
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following
Salvation that empowers believers for
witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New
Testament times.
-
WE BELIEVE...
The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy
Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on
the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the
Epistles.
-
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
Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are
lost in sin. 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 Serves the Church. 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...Divine
Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today
and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial
death on the cross for our sins).
-
WE BELIEVE...in
The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His
Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future
moment in time all believers who have died will rise from
their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and
Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be
with the Lord forever.
-
WE BELIEVE...in
The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns
with His saints at His second coming and begins His
benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial
reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the
establishment of universal peace.
-
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 BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect
New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is
preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted
Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following
His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be
with the Lord!'
