Statement of Faith
What we believe

The Scriptures are Inspired

The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God.
(2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21)

There is One True God

There is one true God who has revealed himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the creator of heaven and earth and the redeemer of mankind. (1 John 5:7-8; Genesis 1:1; Rom. 5:12-17)

Jesus Christ is the Son of God

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God as evidenced by his virgin birth, his sinless life, his miracles, and his work on the cross, his bodily resurrection from the dead, and his exaltation to the right hand of God. (1 Cor. 15:3-4; 1 Pet. 2:18-24 and John 3:16)

The Fall Of Man

Man was created in the image of God. By voluntary disobedience, sin entered into the world causing man’s separation from God, with his only hope of redemption in Jesus Christ.(Gen. 1:26; Rom. 5:12-17)

The Salvation of Man

Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the saving work of Christ on the cross. This salvation is evidenced by the witness of the Holy Spirit and a life of righteousness and true holiness. (John 3:3; John 3:16; Rom. 3:21-26; Heb. 10:15-16; 2 Cor. 5:17; 2 Tim. 2:21)

Holy Spirit Baptism

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a free gift from God, promised to every believer. This experience is accompanied by the evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. (Matt. 3:11; Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, 38-39; Acts 19:1-6)

The Governance of the Church

The Bible says that Jesus built his church on the foundation of the apostles, prophets and Himself as the chief cornerstone. In order for His body, the ekklessia, to be able to do the work of the ministry he gave gifts to the apostles,  prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. In doing so, they are mantled with the ability to equip the body and bring them into unity in order to bring about God's full purpose for His kingdom here on earth. (Ephesians 2:20, 4:11-13)

The Lord's Supper

In the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, we partake of bread and juice in remembrance of our Savior, proclaiming his death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26; 10:16; Matthew 26:26-28)

Healing

We believe that deliverance from sickness is provided through Christ's sacrifice, and is the privilege of all believers. (Isaiah 53:4, Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 16:18John 5:6-14, 1 Peter 2:24)

The Resurrection

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; "Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgement." (John 5:29)
