What we believe - Statement of Faith
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
We believe in the promise of Genesis 12:3 regarding the
Jewish people and the nation of
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.
