OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

  1. GOD: We believe that there is one God, existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Gen.1:1; 26;27; Ps.90:2; Mt.3:16-17; Mt.28:19; Deut.6:4; 2Cor.13:14; 1Peter 1:2
  2. THE WORD OF GOD: We believe the Bible to be the infallible and authoritative word of God, the source and sustainer of all things, and the foundation in which we place our trust. Jn.1:1; 2Tim3:16; 2Thes.2:13; Hebrews 1:3; 2Peter1:19-21
  3. CONDITION OF MAN: We believe in the sinful condition of man, separating us from God, and for mankind’s need for salvation. Gen.2:17; Rom.3:23; Rom.5:12
  4. SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST: We believe God’s love for mankind has been revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ. Through the shedding of His blood on the cross at Calvary, He was made to be the perfect sacrifice for human sin. He has become our substitute, and has made a way for mankind to have access to the Father once again. We believe man is saved from sin and accepted by God not by works, but by believing and confessing Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Mt.1:21; Rom.3:24; Rom.6:23; Rom.10:9-13; Eph.2:8-9; 12-13; Titus 3:4
  5. THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift given by Jesus to the believer subsequent to salvation. The Holy Spirit helps us to know God better, and empowers the believer for purposeful living, and effective ministry. Joel 2:28; Luke 3:16; Acts 1:4-5; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 8:14-17; Acts 18:24-19:7
  6. THE CHURCH: We believe the fellowship of believers, the Church of Jesus Christ, is the body of which He is the head. We believe in the mandate of the Church to be the agent through which God’s kingdom purposes are carried out in the earth. We believe in its order and structure as God intended for it to be. Ex.25:9; 40; Mt.16:19; 1Cor.12:12-14; Eph.2:19-10; Eph.4:11-16; Hebrews 3:6;12:22-24; Rev.2-3
  7. THE BLESSING OF THE LORD: We believe that God’s purpose for mankind is for them to be blessed and to reign in life – body, soul and spirit; to be fruitful and increase, to multiply and have dominion in the earth. We believe God desires for His people to be agents through which the kingdom of God is established on earth. Gen.1:28; 9:1;7; Gen.12:2-3; Ex.23:25; Deut.28:1-14; Prov.10:22; Malachi 3:10;  Rom.5:17; Gal.3:13-14; Eph.1:3
  8. THE SECOND COMING:  We believe in the literal return of Christ to the earth in glory, at a time known only to the Father. We believe there will be a resurrection of both the living and the dead. We believe in the judgment seat of Christ, where those who are not in Christ will be eternally separated from God  ,and thos, who are in Christ will rule and reign forever with Him and. Mt.24:27; Acts 1:7;11; Rev.20:11-15; Mt.25:31-46; Acts 1:7;11; Rom.2:1-9
