Leading people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

What We Believe...

The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbal and inspired word of God. The scriptures are inerrant, infallible, God-breathed and therefore the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the complete and divine revelation of God to man. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1: 20-21)

The Godhead
We believe there is one true God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We believe the Holy Trinity to be God revealing Himself in three Devine Persons, each distinct in office from the other, yet perfectly one - constituting one God not three. (Matt. 28:19, Luke 3:22, John 14:9 & 17:3)

The person and work of Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of our lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and toning death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this earth in power and in glory to rule a thousand years. (Psalm. 90:2, Isaiah 43:10, Matt. 1:23, John 1:14, Acts 1:9-11, Corinthians 153:4, Phil. 2:13, Col. 1:1-2, Heb. 7:26 & 9:18)

Christ's second coming
We believe Christ’s second coming includes a pre-tribulation rapture of the church - the sudden catching away of believers on the earth and those who’ve died in Christ (Our Blessed Hope). This rapture is followed by a literal 7 year period of unparalleled tribulation and judgment on the earth, then the final judgment of the wicked dead resulting in everlasting punishment in the lake of fire, which is the second death. (Daniel 12:11, Matt. 24:15, 21, 29, Matt. 25:46, Mark 9:43-48, Luke 21:36, John 14:2-3, 1Thess. 4:13-17, Rev. 3:10, 7:14, 10:11-15, Rev. 19;20, 21:8)

Salvation and the forgiveness of sin
We believe the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance toward God and in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that all of us are sinners and in need of a Savior, unable to earn our salvation through doing good works and thereby destined for eternal separation and judgment from God. However, we also believe that there is Good News! That salvation is the free gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This abundant, everlasting life with God and the forgiveness of sins is available through Jesus Christ alone and is offered to all who confess their sins and believe and trust in His death on the cross. (Isaiah 53:1-10, Luke 8:6, John 3:16, 10:10, Acts 4:12, Romans 3:23, Eph. 2:8-10, 1 Thess. 5:23, 1 John 1:9)

Water Baptism
We believe water baptism is for all believers and is to be practiced by immersion. It symbolizes our being buried with Christ unto death of self; and as Christ was raised from the dead, so shall we also walk in newness of life. ( Matt. 28:19, Mark 6:16, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:4-5, Col. 2:12)

Holy Spirit Baptism
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it in faith. We believe that by the believer’s continued submission to the Holy Spirit, his very weakness is transformed into strength to witness for Jesus Christ in power and to live according to the will of God. (Matt. 3:11, Acts 1:5,8, 10:46, 19:6)

Sanctification
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life. (Gal. 5:16)

Healing
We believe divine healing was provided to the believer through Christ finished work on the cross and that it is God’s will for us to be healed - in spirit, soul and body. (Isaiah 53:4-5, Matt. 8:17, Acts 10:38, 1 Peter 1:4)

The Lord’s Supper
We believe the Lord’s Supper (communion) using the physical elements of the bread and the fruit of the vine, is to be done in remembrance of the shed blood and body of Christ proclaiming His death on the cross for us. (Luke 22:19, Corinthians 11:17-30, 2 Peter 1:4)

Giving
We believe that every Christian is a steward of that portion of God’s wealth entrusted to him and is obligated to support of the local church financially. We believe God established the tithe (10% of the gross income - the first fruits) as a basis for giving, and that every Christian should also give other offerings, both sacrificially and cheerfully, to the support of the church, the relief of those in need, and to spread the Gospel. (Proverbs 3:9-10, Malachi 3:10-11, Matthew 23:23, Luke 14:42, 1 Corinthians 10:11)

Human Sexuality
We believe that God commanded that no intimate sexual activity should be engaged in outside of marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful perversion of Gods gift of sex. The good news, however, is that as with all sins these too, can be forgiven through the heartfelt admission of our sins and belief in the shed blood of Jesus Christ death on the cross for us. (Genesis 2:24 & 19:5,13, Leviticus 18:1-30, Romans 1:26-29, 1 Corinthians 5:1, 6:9, I Thessalonians 4:1-8, Hebrews 13:4, 1 John 1:9) 

Abortion
We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion constitutes the unjustified, unexcused taking of and unborn human life. Abortion is murder. We reject any teaching which states that abortions performed because of rape, incest, birth defects, sex selection, birth control, population control or the mental well being of the mother are acceptable. (Job 3:26, Psalm 51:5 & 139:14-16, Isaiah 44:24 & 49:1,5, Jeremiah 1:5 & 20:15-16, Luke 1:44)
