We Believe:
 
  1. In the One, True, Living God of the Bible; One Being and Nature eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 4:6, Matthew 3:16,17

  2. In the Bible, 39 books of the Old Testament, 27 books of the New Testament; yet one canonical authority, inspired by the Holy Spirit, infallible in its teaching, co-authored with God in control.  II Timothy 3:16, 17 

  3. In the Lord Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man; conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary.  Attested by Old Testament prophecies, His own signs, wonders, and healings; He went to the whipping post for the healing of our bodies and to the Cross for the salvation of our souls.  He rose from the dead on the third day, defeating death, hell, and the grave.  He ascended into heaven, where He sits at the right hand of the Father, waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.  John 8:58, John 1:1, Luke 1:31-38, Psalm 110:1. Isaiah 53:4,5, I Peter 2:24

  4. In the creation of man in the image of God.  Although created good, mankind fell into sin through the temptation of the Devil.  All persons are guilty of sin both by Adam’s actions and their own.  Genesis 1:26-28, Genesis 3:1-19, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12-19 

  5. In the salvation brought forth by the Cross of Christ, and His Resurrection, which makes it possible for a person to repent by faith in the living Jesus, be regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and walk in the justification and sanctification of the righteousness of Christ.  Such a person becomes a new creation and a child of God instead of a child of the devil.  Matthew 4:17, Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9, II Corinthians 5:17-21 Colossians 2:13-15

  6. In the ordinances commanded by Jesus, namely baptism by immersion in water for those who have repented and have been regenerated; and the Lord’s Supper as the ongoing memorial observance of the death of the Lord Jesus.  Luke 3:21,22, Mark 14:22-25, I Corinthians 11:23-34 

  7. In the fullness of the work of the Holy Spirit in filling the believer (baptism in the Holy Spirit), in extending the work Jesus began by effecting healings, signs, wonders, and miracles through believers in the earth today.  Holy Spirit manifests His gifts and brings forth His fruit in the lives of believers in Jesus.  Luke 4:40, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:14-18, I Corinthians 12:7-11, Galatians 5:22-25

  8. In the unconditional love, kindness, and goodness of Father God.  The revelation of His love is the key to deliverance from fear, which is the root of many evil outcomes in human lives.  This loving Father will also be the Judge of all, ensuring that the sacrifice of the Son and its application are the criteria of eternal life and eternal death.  Malachi 4:5,6,  John 14:15-18, 23,    I John 4:7,18, Revelation 20:11-15 

  9. In the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, seen physically in the visible church, meeting together in designated places for worship, prayer, and preaching of the Word.  The invisible church is the mystical Body of Christ worldwide, comprised of every believer who is in the covenant of Jesus’ blood.  Acts 11:22, 13:1, Ephesians 5:32

  10. In the mission given to His believers by Jesus, to be equipped for works of ministry by the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to go into the whole world to make Him known by relationships, compassion ministries, preaching, teaching, miracles, healings, repentance from sins, and discipleship.  This supernatural message is the Gospel of the Kingdom.  Matthew 4:17, Matthew 10:1, 7,8, Luke 10:1, 17-21, Matthew 24:14, Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:14-18, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 4:11-13 
    ​
  11. In the Second Coming of Jesus which includes the rapture of the church, the marriage supper of the Lamb, the inauguration of the Millennium, which is His 1000-year reign as King of this earth.  Following this will be the final rebellion, Great White Throne Judgment, and the New Heaven and New Earth.  Matthew 24:1-44, I Thessalonians 4:13-17, Revelation 19-22
