What We Believe…
We believe that there is one living and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all things. (Gen 1:1; Deu 6:4; Matt 28:19; John 10:30; Heb 9:14.).
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice. The Word of God is the foundation upon which this ministry operates and is the basis for which this ministry is governed. We believe that the Word of God supersedes any earthly law that is contrary to the Holy Scriptures. (Isa 28:13; Neh 8:8; John 17:17; 2Tim 3:16-17; Heb 4:12; 1Pet 1:23-25; 2Pet 1:21.).
We believe in the person of God the Father, an Infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all those who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Deu 33:27; Psa 90:2; Psa 102:27; John 4:24; 1Tim 1:17; Tit 1:3.) .
We believe in the person of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, his substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, visible return to earth. (Isa 7:14; Micah 5:2; Matt 1:23; Mark 16:19; Luke 1:34-35; John 1:1-2; John 8:58; John 11:25; 1Cor 15:3-4; Heb 1:8; 1John 1:2; Rev 1:8.).
We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, Who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ. (Acts 1:8; 2Cor 3:18; John 16:8-11; Rom 15:13,16; Heb 9:14.).
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide. (John 14:16-17, 16:8-11.).
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all Biblical gifts of the Spirit. (1Cor 12:1-14:40.).
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and, therefore, are under condemnation; that God regenerates based upon faith by the Holy Spirit, those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord. (Acts 8:15-17; Tit 3:5.).
We believe in the universal ministry, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all who are born again are members. (1Cor 12:12-13; Eph 4:15-16.).
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ committed two sacraments to the ministry:
1) Full immersion water baptism in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2) The Lord's Supper (Matt 28:19; Acts 2:38; 1Cor 11:23-26.).
We believe also in the laying on of hands for the baptism of the Holy Spirit; and the ordination of pastors, elders, and deacons; and for the receiving of the perpetuity of the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Acts 6:6, 8:17; 1Tim 4:14). With it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luk 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1Cor 12:1-31). This experience may be distinct from, and subsequent to, the experience of the New Birth (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7‐9.).
We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ which is His personal, visible return to earth and the establishment of His millennial kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous and endless suffering of the wicked (Matt 16:27; Acts 1:11; Rev 19:11-16, 20:11-15.).
We believe in what is termed "The Apostles' Creed" as embodying the fundamental facts of the Christian faith.
We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell, and that all those who place their faith, hope and trust in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord, while those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation will spend eternity separated from the Lord in Hell (Matt 5:3, 25:31-34; Heb 12:23; 1Pet 1:4; Psa 9:17; Matt 5:22, 18:9; Luke 12:5.)
