Our Beliefs
the Bible
We believe that the Bible is the infallible word of God given to man by the Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 2:13)
God
We believe there is one God, the Creator of all things, who is infinitely perfect, and eternally existent in three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (1 Timothy 2:5, Genesis 1:1, 1 John 5:7)
sin
We believe that because sin entered the world, man is in a fallen state at birth. Each individual must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to obtain salvation. (Romans 3:10, 3:23, 5:12, 10:9-10)
salvation
We believe in being “born again” into the newness of life at the day of salvation. An outward sign of a life that has been changed by repentance must accompany this. (John 3:1-21, 2 Corinthians 5:17)
the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is an act separate and distinct from the new birth. (Matthew 3:11, John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, Acts 2:38-39)
gifts of the Spirit
We believe in the gifts of the Spirit and that believers should seek these as the Spirit wills. (1 Corinthians 12:1-10)
water baptism
We believe that water baptism is an act of obedience to the Lord that should follow salvation by every believer who wishes to publicly confess his or her belief in and love for Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, Acts 8:36-38)
communion
We believe that communion is an ordinance to be observed by the church. The bread and juice represent the body and blood of Jesus and we partake symbolically, to remember Him until He comes again. (1 Corinthians 11:23-30)
the rapture
We believe in the pre-millennial physical rapture (catching away) of the righteous, both living and dead. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
healing
We believe that the Lord divinely heals, delivers and sets the captive free as He did when He walked the earth. (James 5:14-15, Isaiah 53:4-5, 1 Peter 2:24)
our call
We believe in the five-fold ministry of the church and that all born again believers qualify to be called by God into one or more of these ministries “God gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.” (Ephesians 4:11, Galatians 3:26-28, Romans 4:11)
giving
We believe in tithing into the local church. We believe that God is our source of all blessings and that He loves and rewards a cheerful giver. (Malachi3:10, 2 Corinthians 9:7-8)
heaven & hell
We believe in the resurrection of the dead in which those who believed on Christ will inherit eternal life and those who did not believe will inherit eternal damnation. (Hebrews 9:27, Romans 2:4-11, Romans 6:23)
