The Scripture Inspired

The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind

One True God

There is Only One True God - revealed in three persons... Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (The Trinity)

Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine

Fall of Man

Though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin - ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world

Salvation of Man

Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through Salvation, trusting Christ through faith and repentance to be our personal Savior

The Ordinances of the Church

The practice of two ordinances:

1. Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation

2. Holy Communion as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in the New Testament times

The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit

The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is Speaking in Tongues as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.

Sanctification

Sanctification initially occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.

The Church and Its Mission

The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe the Church is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.

The Ministry

A divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers -the Church, and to meet human need with the ministries of love and compassion.

Divine Healing

Devine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ's atonement.

The Blessed Hope

The Blessed Hope - when Jesus raptures His Church to His return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.

The Millennial Reign of Christ

In the Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of the national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.

The Final Judgement

A Final Judgement will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and cosigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.

The New Heavens and the New Earth

We look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
