 We believe
the Bible is the foundation of our faith. We consider it to be infallible and wholly inspired by God. In the Bible God has revealed His plan of Salvation for man. (2 Timothy Chapter 3 verses 15-17 and Hebrews Chapter 4 verse 12)
.
We believe in the One True God, that He is a triune being known as God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy Chapter 6 verse 4 and Mark Chapter 12 verse 29)
.
We believe that Salvation is the free gift of God, offered to men and women by Grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose atoning blood was shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. (Romans Chapter 3 verses 23-24 and Ephesians Chapter 2 verses 8 9)
.
We believe that Water Baptism is an ordinance of the Church that openly proclaims to the world that the person being baptized has died with Jesus Christ and been raised with Him in newness of life. (We do not practice infant baptism, but we do dedicate infants to God.) (Matthew chapter 28 verse 19 and Acts chapter 10 verses 47-48).
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues giving the believer access to the power of God for service. (Acts chapter 1 verse 8 and Acts chapter 19 verse 6).
We believe The Lord's Supper (Holy Communion) is an ordinance of the Church in which the bread and the wine represent the broken body and the shed blood of Jesus Christ, symbolizing the new covenant which He established between God and man. (1 Corinthians 11 verses 24, 25 and 28, 29).
We believe that The Life of the Believer involves separation from the ways of the world and must be characterized by consistent holy conduct before God and man. Through every Christian there should reflect the life-giving light and life of Jesus Christ to a world that lies in darkness. (Ephesians chapter 5 verses 1-12 and Philippians chapter 1 verses 9-11 and John chapter 1 verses 5-7 and John chapter 2 verses 8-11 and verses 15-17).
We believe
there is no scriptural prohibition concerning women ministering in any position in the church, including that of Pastor or Apostle. (Acts chapter 2 verses 17-18 and Galatians chapter 3 verses 26-28 and Roman chapter 16 verses 1-15).
We believe in the literal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to establish His Kingdom and reign in righteousness. "Awaiting our Blessed Hope, the appearing of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ..." (Titus chapter 2 verse 13).
