WE BELIEVE IN

THE BIBLE

The Bible is the unchangable Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and contains every answer to man’s problems.
(2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21)

GOD

There is one God, existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.(John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7)

BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God. He helps empower the believer to develop the character of Christ and live every day in God’s will. (Matthew 3:11; Acts 2:4)

SALVATION

We can have a personal relationship with God through salvation, God’s free gift to man. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God’s unearned favor. By admitting we have sinned and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord, we can spend eternity with God.(Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24)

GENDER ROLES AND MARRIAGE

We believe marriage is an institution created by God as a covenant relationship established by mutual vows exchanged exclusively between one man and one woman. We believe God intends for sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other and we love everyone regardless of their sexual orientation. (Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:18-24; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 18-20; 1 Corinthians 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4; Romans 1:18-32; Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13)

LOVE

God is Love and He loves all people. It is His desire to reach out to those who are poor, oppressed, widowed or orphaned, and to heal the brokenhearted. Psalm 68:5,6; 1 John 4:16

SPIRITUAL GIFTS

God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God’s people (the Church) and proof of God’s existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10)

HEALING

Divine healing is active in the lives of people today through Jesus, who is the Healer. Healing includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual restoration. (Luke 9:11; Matthew 9:35; Acts 10:38; Matthew 10:1)

WATER BAPTISM

We believe in water baptism, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus, as the way for believers to identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17)

HELL

The Bible describes hell as a real place. It is a place of suffering and a place of permanent separation from God for those who die without accepting Christ. God’s desire is that no one be separated from Him for eternity, which is why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:12-15; John 3:16-18)

CHRIST'S RETURN

Jesus will return and take all those who have accepted Him as Savior to be with Him for eternity.
(Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Hebrews 9:28)
