Our Beliefs

WE BELIEVE…

• That the Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word and is the standard for all Christians.

• In one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit

• Man sinned and fell short of the glory of God.

• Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary; lived a sinless life; was crucified and died; arose through a triumphant resurrection; sits at the right hand of God; and lives to make intercession as man’s only means of salvation.

• sanctification is a second definite work of grace, subsequent to salvation, which enables us to live a life of holiness which is the standard and norm for every Christian.

• That the evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit is a holy life empowered to witness and not an unintelligible language or unknown tongue.

• The church of God is the bride of Christ where all born again believers are united and Christ is the head.

• In being born again and added to the church of God places us into the Kingdom of God, which is a present-day spiritual reality and not reserved for a future kingdom or millennial reign.

• In water baptism by immersion; the Lord’s Supper; and feet washing; which are all commands of Jesus, to be obeyed and practiced by those who have been born again.

• In the Biblical doctrine of Divine physical healing which is provided by faith to the believer

• In the practice of tithing to the local church as described in the Scriptures

• That being born again does not exempt a person from choosing to backslide and be lost.

• In the personal second coming of Christ to this word to end time, resurrect the dead, judge the world, receive the church unto Himself, and to usher us all into eternity; and this is not a secret rapture.

• That every Christian is gifted for ministry and not just a select few.

• That the Bible teaches that every Christian should witness.

• That spiritual fruit is produced in the lives of sanctified believers.

• That marriage is defined by Jesus Christ in Scripture as one genetic man and one genetic woman joined together for life in a covenant founded on unconditional love.
