Our Beliefs

We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men of God “were moved by the Holy Spirit” to write the very words of Scripture. The Bible is therefore without error (inerrant) in its original manuscripts. It is the sole and final authority for faith and life providing encouragement, guidance, comfort and instruction for training in righteousness.

We believe that God is the eternal, unchanging, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-wise, all-loving, completely just and perfectly holy, sovereign Ruler and Sustainer of the universe. He is the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Father of all true believers.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten eternal Son of God who became flesh to reveal God to man, and to become the Savior of the lost world. Jesus was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit; born of the virgin Mary; lived a sinless life; died on the cross as the substitutionary, all-sufficient atoning sacrifice for all of the sins of all men of all time; was buried; bodily rose from the dead; physically ascended into heaven in His glorified, resurrected body; is seated at the right hand of the Father performing his ministry of intercession; will return in the air to claim His bride the Church; and will come again to earth in bodily form, personally and visibly to conclude human history and consummate God’s eternal plan by executing judgement and ushering in His Millenial kingdom reign to be followed by the eternal state.

We believe that the Holy Spirit imparts new life, baptizes the believer into the body of Christ (His Church), permanently indwells the believer, and securely seals the believer unto the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit fills (directs and controls) those believers who are yielded to Him, enables believers to bear fruit, and empowers believers to live a life free from sin’s dominion. We also believe that The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to believers for the purpose of edifying the church in accordance with the teachings of scripture.

We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself and should, by the power of the indwelling Spirit, allow Christ to manifest His life through him to God’s glory. By ever increasing obedience to the Word of God, each believer should mature and progressively become more like Jesus. In the power of the Spirit, each believer should live a holy life; not fulfill the lusts of the flesh; exercise his spiritual gifts to build up the Church; witness for Christ; be personally involved in making disciples to fulfill the Great Commission.

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ of which Jesus is the Head and whose members are those who have truly received Christ by faith. The purpose of the Church is to make Christ known to men, to make disciples, and glorify God on earth.
