We Believe

  • We believe that there is only one God eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus is God, in equal standing with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, Colossians 1:15-20, 2:9

  • We believe man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, was alienated from God. Alienation can be removed by accepting God's gift of salvation by grace through faith, which was made possible by Christ's death and resurrection.  This faith will be evidenced by the works that we do. Ephesians 2:8-10, James 2:17, 26

  • We believe the Bible is God’s written revelation to mankind, divinely given through human authors who the Holy Spirit inspired. It is completely authoritative and entirely true. 2 Timothy 3:16 

  • We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, who existed as God before anything was created, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory. He is the world’s only Savior and is the Lord of all. John 1:1, Matthew 1:23, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Hebrews 7:24-25, Matthew 24:30, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, Isaiah 45:21-23

  • We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, that He performs the miracle of new birth in an unbeliever and indwells believers, enabling them to live a godly life. Acts 5:3-4, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Romans 8:14 

  • We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. No ordinance, ritual, work or any other activity on the part of man is required or accepted in order to be saved. This saving grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight in order that we might be progressively conformed to the image of Christ.

  • We believe a sin nature was imputed to all humans through Adam, who was originally created in the image of God, righteous and without sin. As a consequence of his disobedience, Adam’s posterity is born subject to both imputed and inherent sin, and all humans are therefore by nature and choice the children of wrath, justly condemned in the sight of God, wholly unable to save themselves or to contribute in any way to their acceptance with God.

    Gen. 1–3; Ps. 51:5, Isa. 53:5, Rom. 3:9–18, Rom.5:12–21, Eph. 2:1–3

  • We believe in the literal Second Coming of Christ at the end of the age when He will return to earth personally and visibly to consummate His Kingdom. We also believe in and are praying for a great end–time harvest of souls and the emergence of a victorious Church that will experience an unprecedented unity, purity and power in the Holy Spirit.

    (Ps. 2:7–9, Ps. 22:27–28, John. 14:12, John. 17:20–26, Rom. 11:25–32, 1 Cor. 15:20–28, 1 Cor. 50–58; Eph. 4:11–16, Phil. 3:20–21,

     1 Thess. 4:13–5:11; 2 Thess. 1:3–12, Rev. 7:9–14)

  • We believe there is an afterlife where, when Christians die, they pass immediately into the blessed presence of Christ, there to enjoy conscious fellowship with the Savior until the day of the resurrection and the glorious transformation of their bodies. The saved will then forever dwell in blissful fellowship with their great triune God. We also believe that when unbelievers die, they are consigned to hell, there to await the Day of Judgment when they shall be punished in the lake of fire with eternal, conscious and tormented separation from the presence of God.

    Matt. 25:46, Lk. 16:19–31,Jn. 5:25–29, 1 Cor. 15:35–58, 2 Cor. 5:1–10, Phil. 1:19–26, Phil. 3:20–21, 2 Thess. 1:5–10, Rev. 20:11–15, Rev. 21:1–22:15

  • We believe that Satan, originally the great and good angel Lucifer, rebelled against God, taking a multitude of angels with him. He was cast out of God’s presence and is at work with his demonic hosts to establish his counter-kingdom of darkness, evil, and unrest on earth. Satan was judged and defeated at the cross of Christ and will be cast forever into the lake of fire, which has been prepared for him and his angels.

    (Isa. 14:10–17, Ezek. 28:11–19, Matt. 12:25–29, Matt. 25:41, John. 12:31, John. 16:11, Eph. 6:10–20, Col. 2:15, 2 Pet. 2:4, Jude. 1:6, Rev. 12:7–9, Rev.20:10)
