What we believe

About God – We believe that there is only one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that this triune God created all, upholds all and governs all.

The Bible – We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.

About Father God – We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

About Jesus Christ – We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teaching, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, visible return to earth.

About the Holy Spirit – We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ; we believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the biblical gifts of the Spirit.

About Human Beings – We believe that people are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although each has a tremendous potential for good, all men are sinners by nature and choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that God regenerates, by the Holy Spirit, those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord.

About the Return of Christ – We believe in the personal, visible return of Christ to earth for the establishment of His kingdom; in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, eternal blessing of the righteous and endless suffering of the wicked.

About the Priesthood of every Believer – The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to "fulltime" Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation. We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by encouraging every member to find a place of service and ministry. Every believer has direct access to God through prayer and Bible reading.

About the Baptism with the Holy Spirit – We practice laying-on-of-hands for the baptism with the Holy Spirit, and believe that there will be a subsequent spiritual manifestation. Divine Healing – We practice laying on of hands for the sick and the prayer of faith to accompany healing. We believe God still does miracles today and petition Him regularly to intervene.

About Telling Others about Christ – It is the responsibility of every Christian to share the Good News with those God brings us in contact with. We practice personal sharing about Christ and inviting friends to church.
