The Trinity
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. We believe in God the Son, Jesus, God’s only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried and descended into the dead before he rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. We believe that these three, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are three distinct Persons in one, in unity functioning as the Godhead.
(Gen.1:1; Matt. 3:16, 17; 28:19; John 1:1-4)
The Holy Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of 66 books makes up what we call today, the Holy Bible, which we believe to be the infallible Word of God. It is our final authority over all else for determining faith and practice for the Christian life. It is the breath of life given to all mankind with which to live by.
(Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:15-17)
Salvation
We believe that we are all sinners and that all of mankind is in need of a Savior and that Savior is Jesus Christ, the only and Holy Son of God. (John 3:16 & 17). This salvation is God's free gift that is offered to everyone. Salvation begins by believing and confessing with the mouth and the heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead on the third day and He is now seated in heavenly places and is soon to return for His bride, the Church.
(John 3:1-21; 1 John 5:1-4)
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Person of the Holy Spirit guides, teaches and comforts the believer as well as, convicts people of their sin and also empowers people to live the Christian life. We believe in the outpouring and functioning gifts of the Holy Spirit to edify the Body of Christ and to bring glory to God.
(1 Cor. 12:1-31, John 7:37-39, Acts 2:42, Mark 16:20, Acts 1)
The Church
We believe in the Church as the Body of Jesus Christ made up of all Christ-followers around the world today and throughout history. It is the tangible picture of His hope, light and love for all believers that gather today in different and cultural ways practicing and honoring Him in agreement with what is written in the Holy Scriptures.
(Matt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22-23)
Outreach
We believe in the Great Commission that Jesus Christ has commissioned us to go into all the world and preach the message of the Gospel to all nations and making disciples. We believe that we are to obey His commands and lay hands on the sick and believe for healing, cast out demons in His name, to set the captive free and to give water to the thirsty and food to the hungry, as much as we possibly can.
(Matt. 28:18-19; Mark 16:15-18; Acts 1:8) See how we are reaching out monetarily here.
Water Baptism
We believe that the next step after salvation is for the believer in Christ to be water baptized as a seal of the Holy Spirit that the old life is gone and the new life in Christ has come. It is a physical sign to the world about the newness of life in Christ.
(Matt. 3:16, Romans 6:1-4)
The Return of Christ
We believe in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ for those who are born again.
(Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thes. 4:14-18; 5:1-4)
The Five Fold Ministry
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
Ephesians 2: 19-22
