We believe that the Bible is the infallible and inspired Word of God, the final authority on all truth which we are to believe and live by. The Bible is comprised of 66 books written by men who wrote under God’s supernatural guidance and prophetic instruction.
(Mt 5:18, Jn 10:35, 2 Tim. 3:3:16-17, 2 Pt. 1:2-21)

We believe in one God, creator and ruler of the universe, who is eternal, infinite and unchanging. He exists and reveals Himself in three persons (referred to as the Trinity): The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. He is the source of all that exists, and upholds, sustains, governs and directs all things.

God the Father is the first person of the triune God, and functions and relates as Father to His Son, and also to His church. He will bring all things under the headship of Jesus Christ in its proper time.

(Gen 1:1, 26,27; Ps 90:2; 139:1-124; Mt. 28:19; Acts 17:24-8; 2 Cor 13:14; Eph. 1:9-12; Col. 1:16-17; Heb. 1:1-3; 1 Pt. 1:2)

We believe that male and female were created in the image of God, originally good and without sin, yet through willful choice disobeyed God. This resulted in mankind being imputed with a sinful nature, being rendered spiritually dead, unable to to save themselves and justifiably under the wrath of God.

God, in His love and mercy sought to reconcile mankind to Himself, and therefore sent Jesus as the author of salvation, whom he had chosen for this purpose before the foundation of the world.

(Gen 1:27, 31; Rom. 1:18; 3:19; 5:8-9, 8:10; 17; 1 Cor.15:21-22; 2 Cor. 5:18-19; Eph. 2:1, 5; Col. 2:13)

We believe that salvation is freely offered to all, and is by grace, through faith alone in Christ.

There is no work, ritual or observance that is required to experience salvation, nor can it be obtained through human goodness or achievement. It is a gift of God. Yet, we believe that one is saved unto good works and that the believer’s life bears fruit which gives witness to the evidence of salvation in their life. The process of a person becoming more godly and Christ-like is referred to as the work of sanctification, which is also the result of the work of the Holy Spirit in one’s life.

(Mt. 7:19-23; Rom. 3:21-26; 4:4-5; 5:1-2; 1 Cor. 6:11; Eph 2:8-10, Phil 2:12-13; Col. 2:5-11; Titus 3:4-7; James 2:10)

We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God incarnate, and the Savior of the world. He existed eternally with the Father and the Holy Spirit, came to earth as man, was born of a virgin, lived sinlessly, and gave himself as substitutionary sacrifice for all sinners; serving the penalty we justly deserve.

By His death (shed blood), burial, and resurrection, he redeemed all those who put their trust in him, procuring for them forgiveness of sins and eternal life. He was raised on the third day, ascended into heaven and now lives to intercede for all believers. He will return to earth to rule and reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

(Mt 1:22-23; Jn. 1:1-5; 14:10-30; 3:16; Acts 1:9-11; Rom. 1:3-4; 8:34, 1 Cor. 15:3-4; 1 Tim. 6:14-15; Titus 2:13; Heb. 4:14-15; 7:25; Isa. 9:6-70)

We believe that the Lord Jesus baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit, who dwells in them at salvation. The Holy Spirit draws, convicts people of sin, regenerates those who trust in Jesus, seals for the day of redemption, and desires to sanctify, teach, illuminate, anoint, fill and empower believers for ministry and witness.

We also believe that all the spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible are operative today, for edification, strengthening, and equipping the believer and the church to fulfill her God-given calling and mission.

(Jn 16:5-15; 20:22; Acts 1:8; 2:4, 38; 8:15-17; 19:1-7; Rom. 8:5-11, 16; 1 Cor 12:1-11, 27-31; 14:1-32; Eph. 4:30; Titus 3:5-6; 1 Jn. 2:27)

We believe that satan, who is presently the prince of this world and the enemy of God, is a fallen angel, who was originally part of the heavenly hosts of created angels. He rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven, along with a host of fellow angels who followed.

They are now at work seeking to destroy God’s plan for the earth and humanity by opposing God’s kingdom and his church, accusing believers, deceiving people, creating unrest and perverting His ways on the earth. Satan was defeated at the cross, and he, along with the other fallen angels, will ultimately be eternally cast into the Lake of fire, which was prepared for them by God.

(Rev. 12, Jn. 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 2 Cor. 4:4; 11:3; 11:14; Eph. 2:2; Col. 2:15; 1 Pt. 5:8; Heb. 2:14, Jude 6)

We believe that the Church of God is comprised of all believers, those who have put their full trust in Jesus, and are committed to following Him.

The Church’s calling is three-fold:
1) To minister to God individually and corporately, through worship, prayer and offerings in spirit and in truth.
2) To be the body of Christ where believers who are brought into the community of fellowship with God, actively seek to edify, serve, love, encourage and build each up through the gifts that God has equipped them with, while pursuing a life of holiness. (The fulfillment of this holy calling is also intended to speed the second coming of Jesus Christ, whom God will send to bring final salvation and liberation to His church.)
3) To be salt and light in the world by proclaiming and bringing the message of hope and reconciliation to God through Jesus to all. This includes prayer, evangelism, discipleship, healing, walking in signs and wonders, feeding the poor, loving the destitute, breaking the chains of evil, setting the oppressed free.

(Mt. 5:13-16; 16:18; 28:19-20; Mk. 11:17; Lk 4:18-19; 1 Cor 12, 14; Eph. 4:11-15; Col. 4:2; 2 Pt. 3:11-14; 2 Cor. 5:18-20; Isa 58)

We believe in the literal, bodily, second coming of Jesus Christ, who will come to earth at the time that God the Father has appointed. He will come back as Bridegroom to gather all believers on the earth to be with Him and the rest of His people forever. He will come back as King to reign over all nations with the saints in His millennial Kingdom. He will come back as Judge to execute judgment and justice on the earth, and on those resisting His Lordship and reign.

We believe that the church will be present on earth during a time of great tribulation, but will walk in power and victory while praying and working for a great end-time harvest of souls. Although Jew and Gentile are one in Christ, we believe that Israel uniquely continues to be God’s chosen people, serving as a channel of His blessing to the world, and His witness to the nations. We believe Israel is significant to God’s plan in that the unfulfilled prophecies given to her in the Old Testament will find their fulfillment in Israel at a future time.

(Gen. 12:13; 28:13; Zech. 12-14; Mt. 13:40-43; 24:7-14; 24:36; Acts 1:11; 2:17; Rm. 11:28-29; 1 Thess. 4:15-17; 2 Thess. 1:5-10; Rev. 2:26; 5:10; 6:9-11; 7:9-14; 14:14-16; 19:7; 19:11-21; 20:1-6; Dan. 7:27)

We believe that heaven and hell are the two final destinations for all people. All believers, when they die, pass immediately into the presence of the Lord where true spiritual union and fellowship is enjoyed, and they await being united with their glorified bodies at the last resurrection when they will forever enjoy intimate communion with God in the new heaven, and on the new earth.

Eternal rewards are also the hope and anticipation of the righteous, who will give an account for their lives and many will be rewarded for their service, commitment, giving and obedience to God while here on the earth.

Unbelievers, when they die go to hell, but will rise to be judged at the last judgement, and after giving account for their life will be consigned to eternal death in the lake of fire and away from the presence of God.

(Rev. 2:23; 14:13; 19-22; 2 Cor. 5:9-10; Mt 35:41; Lk. 23:43; Jn. 5:28-29; Rm. 8:23; 1 Cor 15:50-54; Lk 16:19-31; Isa. 66:24)
