What We Believe

  1. We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative source of Christian faith and practice. The Bible is the supreme revelation from God, superior to conscience and reason, though not contrary to reason (2 Tim3:16, 17).

  2. We believe that there is one God, externally present in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:26, Matt 3:16-17,
    John 1 :1-4).

  3. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but as a result of sin is lost and powerless to save himself
    (Gen. 1:26, 2:16-17, Rom 6:23).

  4. We believe that the only hope for man is to believe on Jesus Christ, the virgin born resurrection, mankind is redeemed
    (Rom. 10:9-10, 13, John 3:16, Eph 2:1-10).

  5. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells all believers, and through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit believers are empowered for Christian service, and gifted for this service. The Holy Spirit also enables believers to live a Christ like life exhibiting Godly character
    (Luke 11:13, Acts 1:8, 2:1-4, 8:17, 10:44- 46, 19:6, Gal. 5:22-23, I Cor. 12).

  6. We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, both universal and local, and is composed of individuals who through faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. We believe that Christ Jesus is the Head and Lord of the Church. The mission of the Church is worship, evangelism, discipleship and nurturing and care of one another (Matt. 28:1-20, Col. 1:18, Eph. 2:19-22).

  7. We believe that eternal life in heaven is the reward of all who believe and receive Christ as their Lord (John 3:16-17, Luke 23:43, John14:2-3).

  8. We believe that salvation is by faith and through grace alone. No amount of good works will produce justification before God. We further believe that the manifestation of faith and grace is a holy life expressed through righteous works (Eph. 2:8-10).

  9. We believe in the calling and gifting of various ministries in the Church, including but not limited to apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers and deacons. We believe that the Church has responsibility for recognizing, equipping, and commissioning these various ministries for the edification of the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:11-13, I Cor. 12:12-30, Rom. 12:3-8).

  10. We believe that divine healing, physical, emotional and spiritual, is included in the atonement of Christ (Isa. 53:4, Matt. 8:17,
    I Peter 2:24-25).

  11. We believe in two sacraments of the Church: a) The Sacraments of WaterBaptism, b) The Sacrament of Holy Communion.
    (Acts 2:38; Matt 26:26-30).

  12. We believe in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the consummation of the Kingdom of God, and the restitution of all things spoken by the mouth of all the prophets since the world began) Matt 24:42-44; Acts 1:11; 3:19-21; Rev.11:15).
