The Bible is Inspired
And is God's authoritative Word, revealing His design and plan for mankind.
And is God's authoritative Word, revealing His design and plan for mankind.
There is only One True God
Eternal and creator of all things, revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (the Trinity). |
The Lord Jesus Christ is Fully God
We believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal, future return to this earth in power and glory to rule over the nations. |
In The Fall of Mankind
Man willingly fell to sin, separating us from God and His purpose for our lives, bringing physical and spiritual death, separation from God. |
In The Salvation of Mankind
Every person can have restored fellowship with God and deliverance from spiritual death through repentance and acceptance of Christ's offered forgiveness for sin through the blood Jesus shed for us on the cross. |
In Sanctification
Which initially occurs at salvation, is a progressive lifelong process that takes place as believers devote themselves to God and identify with Christ and separate themselves from evil. |
In Two Ordinances of the Church
1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, 2) Communion as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation. |
In The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
A special and normal experience following salvation that empowers believers for effective witnessing, productive service, and victorious Christian living, just as it did in New Testament times...and is a promise given to believers when they ask for it. |
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. |
Divine Healing
Is a privilege of all believers and is provided to us in the redemptive work of Christ's atonement...His sacrificial death on the cross. |
In The Church and its Mission
We believe the Church is the body of Christ and consists of all people who have placed their faith in Him and accepted God's offer of redemption through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ. The mission of the Church and His purpose for our lives it to worship Him and to seek and to save those lost in sin. |
In The Ministry
Involvement in ministry through serving and leading the Church is a response to a divine call and is scripturally ordained. We believe the Bible teaches that God has individually equipped us and corporately gathered us to worship Him, to reach others for Christ by sharing the Gospel, and to build up and strengthen the Church. |
In The Blessed Hope
When Jesus raptures His Church prior to the second coming...His return to the earth. At this time, all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and believers who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. |
In The Millennial Reign of Christ
When Jesus visibly returns with His saints at His second coming to reign and rule on the earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of Israel as a nation and the establishment of universal peace. |
The Final Judgment
Will take place for all those who have not repented and received Christ's forgiveness, those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin, and together, with the devil and his angels, will be sent to everlasting punishment in a lake that burns with eternal fire. |
In The New Heavens and The New Earth
We look for this which Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and reign with Him there forever. |
