We believe that the Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design
and plan for mankind.
We believe that 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 that Man Willingly Fell to
Sin, ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the
world.
We believe that Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship
with God- through
'Salvation' (accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin).
We believe in two ordinances of the church (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 that 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 in 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 in 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. At that time many in
the nation of Israel will recognize and accept Him as the Messiah,
the Savior who died for them and all mankind.
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!' |
