Statement of Faith

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth and of all that is seen and unseen. His intelligent design, not chance, brought about the beauty and glory of all creation

We believe in His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who for us and our salvation, came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of a virgin, and became a man. By the anointing of the Holy Spirit, He led a holy, blameless, and miraculous life; demonstrating the will of God to mankind through the words He spoke and the wondrous works He performed

We believe the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible to be God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.

We believe that all men have sinned, and cannot attain the righteous life God requires nor pass on their own merit. So, for our sake, Jesus through God’s judgment was crucified, died and was buried. The punishment for our sins was taken on Him so He descended into hell, but on the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven making atonement for our sins as He sprinkled His blood on the Mercy Seat. Now He is seated at the right hand of the Father.
By believing in our heart that God the Father, raised Jesus from the dead and by a confession of faith in His name, we gain salvation: forgiveness of sins, new life, entrance into the kingdom of heaven, physical healing, protection, freedom from lack, and a host of other great and precious promises available to us on earth

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who empowered Jesus to live a just and holy life bringing glory to the Father. He has been sent to do the same through us by the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, a separate and subsequent event to the New Birth
The Holy Spirit’s manifestations, operative through Jesus and described in 1 Corinthians 12-14, are available to believers today and are to be used in the work of the ministry to bring the whole world to the saving grace of Jesus Christ

We believe the Body of Christ consists of those who have believed and called on the Name of Jesus, trusting in His finished work on the cross for their salvation, not trusting in their own works or righteousness but only that which He grants through faith

We believe that the curse of the law written in Deuteronomy 28 has been carried by Jesus, and that we do not have to suffer any of it (poverty, sickness, and calamity

We believe water baptism in His Name is a public acknowledgement of our death to the old life of sin and rebirth into new life in union with Him

We believe the receipt and appropriation of the gifts and blessings Jesus purchased for us through His passion are received and appropriated by faith

We believe that God desires for all men to be saved, and it is through the preaching and teaching of the Gospel that faith comes and men are converted

We believe there is only one King and ruler of heaven, and His name is Jesus; and only those who call on His name will enter His Kingdom for eternity
Those who refuse and reject faith in Him will go to the only alternative to His presence: hell, the place prepared for Satan and his angels

We believe that Christians living on the earth who have received the fullness of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit can live on this earth in full communion with God, speaking and conversing with Him in prayer, praise, worship, study, and meditation on the Word
His children know His voice and hear His voice. We are guided and taught by His Holy Spirit through the reading of the Scriptures and receiving His guidance and leadership

We believe that the fellowship of the saints in the earth is vital to the successful completion of God’s purpose for each child of God. God has provided this in the local body of believers called the church. Avoidance of this leads to spiritual depletion and loss of the cognizance of His presence.
We look forward to His Gospel being preached to all the world and His soon return, the resurrection of the dead, and the establishment of His unending kingdom

Amen.
