OUR BELIEFS

The Bible

The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (See IITimothy 3:15-17.) We believe that heaven and earth shall pass away, but his word shall never pass away. Preaching and teaching should always be Bible centered, the Bible is foundational to the life of a Christian.


God

There is one God, who has revealed Himself as Father; through His Son, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.)


Sin and Salvation

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.)


 The Gospel

The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4;Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)


Christian Living

As Christians we strive to exemplify the words of Jesus Christ to love God with all our hearts, soul, mind, and strength. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. After receiving the Spirit, a Christian should demonstrate and walk in the fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 (love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). The Holy Spirit is the love of God shed abroad in our hearts. Loving and serving people are essential marks of the Christian faith.


Evangelism

We believe in bringing the gospel to every person of every ethnicity and background. Jesus Christ died for the sins of the entire world, everyone deserves a chance to hear the gospel. We are committed to sharing the gospel and serving the people in the community in any way that we can. We desire to equip the body of Christ to reach every nation, kindred, and tongue.


The Future

Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (See I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.)
