What We Believe

WHAT WE BELIEVE: (Trinity)

  • We believe there is but one living and true God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 5:7).

  • We believe that Jesus, the Son of God, suffered, was crucified, died, and was buried, to reconcile us to the Father. We believe Jesus did rise again from the dead, ascended into heaven and remains there until He returns again to judge all men at the last day (Colossians 2:9; Romans 1:4; Luke 24:1-7).

  • We believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood for the forgiveness of sins and to break the power of sin in the believer’s life (Romans 3:25; 1 John 3:5-10; Ephesians 2:1-10).

  • We believe the Bible is God’s Word (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; John 10:35).

  • We believe in a literal heaven and hell (Matthew 25:46; Psalm 9:17; Revelation 21:7-8).

  • We believe we are justified by faith alone (Romans 5:1).

  • We believe in sanctification, which delivers us from the power and dominion of sin (Acts 26:18; 1 John 1:9). It is followed by life-long growth in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:16; 2 Peter 3:18).

  • We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:5; 2:14; 8-7; 10:44-46; 19:6)

  • We believe healing is available through what Jesus accomplished in His death on the cross (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:14-18; James 5:14-16; Exodus 15:26).

  • We believe Jesus Christ will return again (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 3:1-4; Matthew 24:29-44), and we love and wait for His appearing (2 Timothy 4:8).

  • We believe it is the responsibility of every believer to dedicate his life to carrying out the work of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Acts 1:8).
