Our Beliefs.
Jesus
There is one true and living God. He has revealed himself as our Father through His son Jesus Christ. The life of Christ continues as the Holy Spirit living in the believers. Jesus Christ is God manifest in flesh. He is both God and man.
Scripture
We affirm that the Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is alone the only infallible, inspired Word of God, and that its authority is ultimate, final and eternal. It cannot be added to, subtracted from or superseded in any regard. The Bible is the source of all doctrine, instruction, correction and reproof. It contains all that is needed for guidance in godliness and practical Christian conduct.
Salvation
The Word of God declares that salvation is the free gift of God. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but because Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the dead, all who believe in Him will be saved. Salvation is expressed by personal repentance, baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. The new life in Christ provides privileges of adoption and inheritance in the kingdom of God.
Baptism
The Scripture teaches that all who repent and believe in Christ are to be baptized by immersion. Baptism is a public profession of faith in Christ. It is symbolic of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. It is a declaration to the world that we have died to sin and have been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues which is the initial evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Marriage
Marriage is a covenant relationship between a man and a woman, established by God as the foundation of family and human society reflecting the nature of Christ’s sacrificial love and devotion for His bride, the Church.
Judgement
There will be a final judgment in which the dead will be resurrected and judged according to their works. Everyone whose name is not found written in the Book of Life, along with the Devil and his angels, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire. Those whose names are written in the Book of Life will be resurrected and stand at the judgment seat of Christ to be rewarded for their good deeds.
