What We Believe

The Scriptures
We believe that all of Scripture (i.e. both the Old and New Testament) is verbally inspired by God, and is our final authority in all matters pertaining to doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16,17)

God
We believe in the only one true God; One in essence, nature, and attributes, but existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (1 John. 5:7)

Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, of His shed blood on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins, of His bodily resurrection and ascension to the Father's right hand. We do not believe that He is a way to the Father, but rather the only way through which we can receive righteousness, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. He is, in fact, our salvation.

Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is continuing the work He started at Pentecost empowering believers to live a godly life and continue in all the works of Jesus.

We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit, expressed with speaking in tongues according to Acts 1:8; 2:4; 9:17; 10:44-46; 11:15,16; and 19:6. We believe this experience is distinct from, and subsequent to, the new birth, and can be received by faith. (Gal. 3:2)

Salvation
We believe it is essential for man to repent of sin and by faith receive the finished work of Christ by confessing Him as Lord with his mouth and believing in his heart, resulting in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. (Romans 10:9-13) We believe that all who, in repentance and faith, receive the Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord are born-again.

Healing
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross has provided healing for the human body. (Matthew 8:16,17; Isaiah. 53:4; I Peter 2:24)

Deliverance
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross has provided deliverance from the devil's oppression, control and dominion. (Isaiah 53; Colossians 1:13; Acts 10:38)

Prosperity
We believe that total prosperity (spiritual, mental, physical, financial and social) is available for all believers. (Isaiah 53; 3 John 1:2; Corinthians 8:9)

The Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of the just and the unjust; one to everlasting life and one to everlasting damnation. (Matthew 25:46)

The Second Coming
We believe in a literal, physical second return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (I Thessalonians 1:10;4:16-17)

The Church
We believe that the universal church is comprised of all true believers who have received salvation through Christ regardless of denominational affiliation. (Ephesians. 1:22-23) We also believe in and encourage fellowship with a local church. (Hebrews. 10:25)

We believe all born-again believers have been commissioned to share the complete Gospel to all the world.(Mark 16:15)

Gifts of the Spirit
We believe that spiritual gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit are for the common good and building up of believers and the body of Christ today. (1 Corinthians. 12:7)
