What We Believe

  • We believe the Bible is inspired, true, and our final authority. God is one, yet reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    • The Scriptures Inspired
. The Bible is God-breathed and completely trustworthy. It reveals who He is and how we are to live.
(2 Timothy 3:15–17; 2 Peter 1:21)

    • The One True God
There is only one true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19)

    • Jesus Christ is Lord
Jesus is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived without sin, performed miracles, died for our sins, rose again, ascended into heaven, and will return.
(Matthew 1:23; Acts 1:9–11)

  • Every person is deeply loved by God but separated from Him by sin. Salvation is found only through Jesus.

    • The Fall of Man
. Humanity was created good, but chose sin, which brought separation from God. (Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 5:12–19)

    • The Salvation of Man
. We are saved by grace through faith. Salvation is a free gift received through repentance and belief in Jesus.
(Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10)

    • Sanctification
. Sanctification is the Spirit-led journey of becoming more like Jesus every day.
(Romans 12:1–2; Hebrews 12:14)

  • We believe in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit today. He empowers believers to live boldly and serve faithfully.

    • The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
. This experience empowers believers for effective witness and service, as seen in the early Church.
(Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4)

    • The Initial Physical Evidence
Speaking in tongues is the initial outward sign of Spirit baptism, as seen in Acts.
(Acts 2:4; Acts 10:46)

  • The Church is the body of Christ — called to worship, disciple,
    and go into all the world with the Gospel.

    • The Church and Its Mission
. The Church exists to evangelize the lost, disciple believers, worship God, and show compassion.
(Matthew 28:19–20; Ephesians 4:11–16)

    • The Ministry
. God calls and equips leaders to build up the Church and lead others into maturity in Christ.
(Ephesians 4:11–13; Mark 16:15–20)

    • The Ordinances of the Church
. We observe two ordinances:
      a. Water Baptism by immersion after salvation.
      b. Holy Communion in remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice
(Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:26)

  • We believe God still heals today. We believe Jesus is coming again, and eternity is real.

    • Divine Healing
. Healing is provided in Christ’s atonement and is available for all who believe.
(Isaiah 53:4–5; James 5:14–16)

    • The Blessed Hope
. Jesus will return for His Church — this is our blessed hope.
 (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Titus 2:13)

    • The Millennial Reign of Christ. 
After His return, Jesus will reign on earth for 1,000 years, bringing peace and justice.
(Revelation 20:1–6)

    • The Final Judgment. 
All will stand before God. Those whose names are not in the Book of Life will be separated from Him forever.
(Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:11–15)

    • The New Heavens and New Earth
. God will create a new heaven and a new earth where believers will dwell with Him forever.
(2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1–4)
