OUR BELIEFS
The Godhead
That there is only one God who has eternally existed in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Bible
In the inerrancy, authority, reliability, and divine inspiration of the Holy Bible.
The Gospel
In the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Christ.
Healing
That Christ purchased bodily healing for every believer at Calvary.
The Supremacy of Jesus Christ
In the absolute
lordship and deity of Christ, including His preexistence, virgin birth, sinless life,
atoning death,
bodily resurrection,
and eventual return to the earth in glory and power to establish
His eternal kingdom.
The Local
Church
That nothing can replace the importance of the local church in the program of God and that each local church should be under the authority of the Word and oversight of the Holy Spirit and should determine its own character and role in obedience to the Word of God.
The Ascension
Gifts
That the Church cannot fulfill its mission apart from the five ascension gift ministries that Christ has sent into the world: apostles, prophets,evangelists, pastors, and teachers, and we accept that it is part of our task to recognize those people and assist in equipping them
to fulfill their ministries.
The Resurrection of
the Dead & Eternity
In the resurrection of the dead at Christ’s return, the
certainty of God’s
judgement, and the inescapable result of
that judgement
foretold
in the Scriptures
for both the just and the unjust.
The Church's Mission
That the great
tasks of the Church
are worldwide
evangelism
and equipping
the saints.
The Holy Spirit
That the ministry of the
Holy Spirit is an
essential component
of effective
Christian life
and witness.
The Triumph of Christ
In the reality of Satan, the kingdom of darkness over which he reigns, and the absolute victory of Christ
over the devil and
all his works.
The New Birth
That entrance into the Church is through the “new birth” which is brought about by genuine repentance of sin and confession of faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.
The Church's Identity
That membership in the Church is signified by baptism and
the joyful participation in its worship, fellowship, sacraments, witness, and acceptance of its discipline.
Victorious Living
That the victorious Christian life is built upon a proper understanding of the Bible and upon the exercise of the spiritual authority imputed to the believer by the
gift of righteousness.
