WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that Jesus is the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. (Mat. 28:19; John 5:43, 10:30, 12:45, 14:8–9; Phil. 2:9-11) All the fullness of the godhead rests bodily in Jesus Christ. (Col. 2:9) We believe salvation is a free gift to all who repent of their sins, are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and are filled with the Holy Ghost by the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. (Acts 2:38, 4:12, 10:44–48; Eph. 2:8, 4:5) We believe that we are chosen people, separated from the world; and that we should live a holy life both inwardly and outwardly. (1 Pet. 2:9; 2 Cor. 6:17-18)

We strictly adhere to the Scriptural teaching of the Oneness of God found in Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” The New Testament agrees with the Old Testament. The Apostle Paul wrote: “One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
Jesus Christ was and is, at the same time, both fully God and fully man. He possessed both absolute deity and genuine humanity.
To see Jesus is to see the fullness of God. (Isa. 44:6-8, 45:5; John 14.9; 1 Tim 3.16; 1 Tim 2:5; Col. 2:9; Eph. 4:5–6).

Everyone has sinned and is in need of salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ
 (Psa. 51:5; Rom. 3:23-25; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9).

The Gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins on the cross, was buried in the tomb, and rose again on the third day. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the removal of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost (resurrection). This threefold experience is the consistent pattern of conversion in the early church (1 Cor. 15:1-4; 2 Thes. 1:8; 1 Pet. 4:17; Mark 1:15; Acts 15:7; Rom. 6:3-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; 8:9-17; 10:1-48; 19:1-7).

We believe that healing is available today. As the ancient prophet Isaiah prophesied, our Savior received the stripes on His back for our healing. We believe that divine healing is available to every believer by the laying on of hands and the prayer of faith. The Scripture declares: “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” (James 5:15) In every service, there is an opportunity for those who are ill to come forward and be anointed with oil and prayed over by our pastoral team.
(Psalm 103:2-3; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 8:6-7; James 5:14-16; Acts, 19: 11–12; 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28)

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. (1 John 1:1, Matt 24:35, Mark 13:31, Heb 4:12, 1 Pet 1:25)

We believe in the power of prayer. (1 Chronicles 7:14, Matthew 6:9-13, Jude 1:20)

We believe in exuberant worship & praise. (Psalm 100, Psalm 150, Acts 3:8)

We believe in God’s anointed ministry. (Ephesians 4:11-13, 1 Cor 1:21, Titus 1:3)

We believe in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:1-10)

We believe in separating ourselves from the sin of the world. (2 Cor 6:17, 1 Peter 2:9, 1 John 2:15)

We believe in Holiness in spirit & body. (1 Cor 6:19-20, 2 Cor 7:1, Heb 12:14, 1 Thess 4:7, 1 Pet 1:16)

We believe Jesus Christ will return to the earth to catch his church away. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

We believe in bearing each other’s burdens, and loving our neighbor. (Matthew 19:19, John 13:35, Galatians 6:2)

We believe in assembling together to encourage one another in the faith. (Hebrews 10:25)

We believe in evangelizing & winning lost souls to Christ. (Prov 11:30, Matt 28:19, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8)
