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'
(trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to
be our personal Savior).
-
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, to build up or
edify the body of believers–the Church and to Meet
human need with ministries of love and compassion.
-
WE
BELIEVE...Divine Healing of the Sick is a
Privilege for Christians Today and is provided
for in Christ's atonement 2000 years ago (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!'
