THE GODHEAD

We believe that the one true God exists eternally in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and that these, being one God, are equal in deity, power, and glory. We believe that God not only created the world but also now upholds, sustains, governs, and providentially directs all that exists and that He will bring all things to their proper consummation in Christ Jesus to the glory of His name. (Ps 104, 139; Matt 10:29–31, 28:19; Acts 17:24–28; 2 Cor 13:14; Eph 1:9–12, 4:4–6; Col 1:16–17; Heb 1:1–3; Rev. 1:4–6)

DEITY OF CHRIST

We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man; that He was conceived and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and offered Himself as a penal, substitutionary sacrifice for sinners. By His bloodshed at the cross, He obtained for us eternal redemption, the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. He was raised bodily on the third day and ascended to the right hand of the Father, there to make intercession for the saints forever. (Matt 1:18–25; Jn 1:1–18; Rom 8:34; 1 Cor 15:1–28; 2 Cor 5:21; Gal 3:10–14; Eph 1:7; Phil 2:6–11; Col 1:15–23; Heb 7:25, 9:13–15, 10:19; 1 Pet 2:21–25; 1 Jn 2:1–2)

THE CHURCH

(1) We believe that the local church, which is the body and the espoused bride of Christ, is solely made up of born again persons. (1Corinthians 12:1214; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 1:2223, 5:2527; 1 Timothy 3:16)(

2) We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures. (Acts 14:27; 20:17, 2832; 1 Timothy 3:113; Titus 1:511)

(3) We believe in the autonomy of the local church free of any external authority or control. (Acts 13:14, 15:1931, 20:28; Romans 16:1, 4; 1Corinthians 3:9, 16, 5:47, 13; 1 Peter 5:14)

(4) We recognize water baptism and the Lord’s Supper as the Scriptural ordinances for the Church in this age. (Matthew 28:1920; Acts 2:41, 8:36-38; 1Corinthians 11:2326)

DIVINE HEALING

Divine healing is the supernatural power of God bringing health to the human body. It is received by faith in the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ. All the punishment Jesus Christ received before and during His crucifixion was for our healing – spirit, soul and body. By His stripes, we are healed. Divine healing was included in the benefits that Jesus Christ bought for us at Calvary.

GIVING

We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God’s wealth entrusted to him, is obligated to support his local church financially. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basis for giving but that every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and
cheerfully to the support of the Church, the relief of those in need, and the spread of the Gospel.
We believe that a Christian relinquishes all right to direct the use of the tithe or offering once the gift has been made. (Genesis 14:20; Proverbs 3:910; Acts 4:3437; 1Corinthians 16:2; Galatians 6:6; Ephesians 4:28; 1 Timothy 5:1718; 1 John 3:17)

HOLY SCRIPTURES

We believe that only the 66 books of the Bible are the inspired and, therefore, inerrant Word of God. The Bible is the final authority for all we believe and how we are to live. (Matt 5:18; Jn 10:35, 17:17; 2 Tim 3:16–17; 2 Pet 1:20–21, Psalm 12:6-7, 119:160, Matthew 24:35)

SALVATION

We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. No ordinance, ritual, work, or any other activity on the part of man is required or accepted in order to be saved. This saving grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight in order that we might be progressively conformed to the image of Christ. (Jn 1:12–13, 6:37–44, 10:25–30; Acts 16:30–31; Rom 3–4, 8:1–17, 31–39, 10:8–10; Eph 2:8–10; Phil 2:12–13; Titus 3:3–7; 1 Jn 1:7, 9)

SEPERATION

We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord. God commands his people to separate from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations. (Leviticus 19:28; Romans 12:1-2; 14:13; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 1 John 2:15-17; 2 John 9-11)

BAPTISM

Water baptism and baptism in the Holy Spirit. We also believe in speaking in tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4). All who enter into the number of the body of Christ do so because they are baptized in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13; Romans 8:9). When you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, God’s power will come upon you as it did on the first disciples on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). When God’s power comes upon you, the Holy Spirit will affect everything about you. The Holy Spirit produces rivers of life, joy, love, peace and power to flow out of your spirit for the needs of others (John 7:37-38).

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit, in whom we are also sealed for the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit regenerates, forever indwells, and graciously equips the Christian for godly living and service. Subsequent to conversion, the Spirit desires to fill, empower and anoint believers for ministry and witness. We also believe that signs and wonders, as well as all the gifts of the Spirit described in the New Testament, are operative today and are designed to testify to the presence of the Kingdom and to empower and edify the Church to fulfill its calling and mission. (Matt 3:11; Jn 1:12–13, 3:1–15; Acts 4:29–30; Rom 8:9, 12:3–8; 1 Cor 12:12–13; 2 Cor 1:21–22; Gal 3:1–5; Eph 1:13–14, 5:18)

THE SECOND
COMING OF CHRIST

We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ Who will rapture His Church prior to the seven year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation Christ will personally and visibly return, with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which
was promised to the Nation of Israel. (Psalms 89:34; Daniel 2:3145; Zechariah 14:4, 11; 1Thessalonians 1:10; 4:1318; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10, 19:1116, 20:16)

THE CONDITION OF MAN

We believe that the first man was created in the image and likeness of God, in innocence and without sin. However in Adam’s sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature and became alienated from God. Therefore every man is a sinner by both nature and imputation and is thereby justly condemned to eternal damnation without defense or excuse, and man, of himself, is incapable of remedying his sinful condition by his own means. (Genesis 1:26-27; 3:1-24; Romans 3:10-18, 23; 5:12, 19; Ephesians 2:1-3; Titus 3:5)

PROPHECY

We believe God is still speaking to His children today and He didn’t just speak to the so called bible people or in the so called the bible times but speaks in the present times through dream, vision and direct voice. (Joel 2:28-29, Acts 2:17-18,

MINISTRY

We believe that the Church is God’s primary instrument through which He is fulfilling His redemptive purposes in the earth. To equip the saints for the work of ministry, God has given the Church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. We also affirm the priesthood of all believers and the importance of every Christian being joined with and actively involved in a local community of the saints. We believe that women, no less than men, are called and gifted to proclaim the Gospel and do all the works of the Kingdom. (Matt 16:17–19; Acts 2:17–18, 42; Eph 3:14–21, 4:11–16; 1 Tim 2:11–15; Heb 10:23–25; 1 Pet 2:4–5, 9–10)

SATAN

We believe that Satan, originally the great and good angel Lucifer, rebelled against God, taking a multitude of angels with him. He was cast out of God’s presence and is at work with his demonic hosts to establish his counter-kingdom of darkness, evil, and unrest on earth. Satan was judged and defeated at the cross of Christ and will be cast forever into the lake of fire which has been prepared for him and his angels. (Isa 14:10–17; Ezek 28:11–19; Matt 12:25–29, 25:41; Jn 12:31, 16:11; Eph 6:10–20; Col 2:15; 2 Pet 2:4; Jude 6; Rev 12:7–9, 20:10)

THE LORD'S SUPPER

The Lord’s Supper as was celebrated by Jesus Christ and His disciples in Matthew 26:26-28,”While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying, ‘Take and eat; this is My body.’ Then He took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.’” As the disciples of old were instructed to partake of the Lord’s Supper by Jesus Christ, we also partake of the Lord’s Supper (2 Peter 1:4), upon the instruction of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10; 11:26-31).
