The
Lord Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God.
We believe in His substitutionary death for all men, His resurrection, and
His eventual return to judge the world.
Salvation
We believe all men are born with a sinful nature and that the
work of the Cross was to redeem man from the power of sin. We
believe that this salvation is available to all who will receive it.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the third
person of the Trinity and in His interaction with man. We believe in
the baptism of the Holy Spirit as manifested by the fruit and the gifts of
the Spirit.
The Sacred Scripture
We believe in the scripture as the inspired Word of God and
that it is the complete revelation of God's will for mankind. We
believe in the absolute authority of the scripture to govern the affairs
of men.
Stewardship
We believe that every man is the steward of his life and
resources which ultimately belong to God. We believe that tithing is
a measure of obedience to the scriptural principles of stewardship.
The Church
We believe in the Church as the eternal and universal Body of
Christ consisting of all those who have accepted the work of the
atonement. We believe in the need for a local assembly of believers for
the purpose of evangelism and edification.
Prayer and Praise
We believe in the worship of the Lord through singing,
clapping, and the lifting of hands. We believe in the authority of the
believer to ask freely of the Lord for his needs.
Body Ministry
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the Church
body through the anointing of oil by the elders of the church.
Evangelism
We believe that evangelism is the obligation of every follower
of Jesus Christ. The Lord commands us to go out and make disciples of all
the earth. We believe that each person is first responsible to evangelism
in their own family as the Holy Spirit leads them and gives them the
ability.
Water Baptism
We believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion in
obedience to the Word of God. All those who have accepted Jesus Christ as
their personal savior should be baptized in water as a public profession
of their faith in Christ and to experience what the Bible calls the
"circumcision of the Spirit."
Our Commitment to Israel
We believe in the promise of Genesis 12:3 regarding the Jewish
people and the nation of Israel. We believe that this is an eternal
covenant between God and the seed of Abraham to which God is faithful.
The Priesthood of the Believer
We believe that every believer has a unique relationship to the
Lord. As His children, every Christian has immediate access to the throne
of Grace and the ability to manifest the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in
ministry.
