Statement of Faith

 
  • We believe the Holy Bible is the divinely inspired word of God and that it is the final authority in matters of faith and practices (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
     
  • We believe the Trinity – There is one true God, who is a Trinity or in Latin, [Trinitas; tres, and unus, one, unity].  In theology, the union of three persons in one Godhead:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7)
     
  • We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is fully God.  Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the second Person of the Trinity.  Jesus Christ is 100% God and 100% man.  We recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah; the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us.  We believe He came to destroy the works of Satan, that He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public display of them, having triumphed over them (Matt 1:23; Luke 1: 31, 35; John 1: 1, 14; 1 John 3:8; Col 2:15)
     
  • We believe the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person as truly are God the Father and God the Son (John 14:15-17; 16:5-15
     
  • We believe that Salvation is a gift from God.  We believe we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ;   Faith in his death, burial and resurrection (Ephesians 2: 5-9, Galatians 2:16, Titus 3:5-7).
     
  • We believe the blood of Jesus Christ  is  sufficient to cleanse us of all sins through repentance and faith (1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20).
     
  • We believe Repentance is a commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38, 3:19)
     
  • We believe Water Baptism is commanded by the word of God for every new convert.  Baptism by water and Holy Communion are practices ordained by Jesus Christ for all believers (Matthew 28: 19-20; Mark 16:16; Acts 10: 47-48; Romans 6:4; 1 Corinthians 11:26)
     
  • We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit – When a believer receives the baptism in the Holy Spirit, he has the potential to manifest that experience by speaking in other tongues.  We ask our heavenly Father to fill us with his Holy Spirit; to lead us into all truth; and to empower our life so that we may live above sin and not carry out the desire of the flesh.  We believe the Holy Spirit enables us to walk in love as God has loved us.  We present our bodies as living sacrifices unto God and crucify the flesh.  We choose to walk in the spirit (Acts 1:4-5, 8, Acts 2:2-4; Ephesians 5:18; John 16:13; Galatians 5:18, Romans 12:1; Galatians 5: 25).

 

  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church.  The Church is all people who have put their faith in Jesus Christ.  We believe each member as a part of the Body has an integral role in the mission of the Church.    Our mission is to equip believers in the knowledge of God, reaching the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ  and to Worship the Lord (Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 14:12; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16; 1 Corinthians 12:13).
