WE BELIEVE
THE BIBLE: Consisting of 66 books, is the inspired Word of God's infallible and absolute authority in matters of faith and conduct. |
THE TRINITY: The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are three separate and distinct persons who together, make One God. |
THE HUMANITY OF JESUS CHRIST: The Son, the second person in the Trinity, set aside the divine form, took for Himself the form of a man was conceived of the Holy Spirit, not of a human father and was born of a virgin. |
THE SAVING WORK OF JESUS CHRIST: Jesus Christ lived a sinless life in perfect obedience to the Father, died a sacrificial death once and for all; resurrected bodily, ascended to the right hand of the Father and forever lives as the Great High Priest of all believers. |
THE REDEMPTION OF MAN FROM SIN: We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God. That they are indwelt by the Holy Spirit and have eternal life. |
EVANGELISM AND MISSION: It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church to go and make disciples of all nations. The Lord has commanded the preaching of the gospel to all people on earth. Every believer is called to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness and Christian lifestyle. |
THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAINTS: The Lord Jesus Christ will come again for the saints, the righteous dead shall be resurrected, and the righteous living translated to immortality to meet the Lord in the air and be with Him. |
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST: The Lord Jesus Christ will return visibly with the saints to put down all rebellion. The wicked dead shall be resurrected to immortality, judge and cast into the eternal lake of fire. |
THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: We recognize the gifts and workings of the Holy Spirit as according to 1 Corinthians 12. |
THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY: There is a five-fold ministry that consists of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher in that order of importance. The five-fold ministry brings maturity to the saints in order that they may be brought to the stature of fullness of Christ. |
THE DIVINE HEALING: Divine healing is the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to heal the sick and afflicted in answer to the believing prayer; that He who is the same yesterday, today, and forever has never changed but still an all sufficient help in time of trouble, able to meet the need of and quicken into newness of life, the body, soul and spirit, in answer to the faith of them who ever pray with submission to His Divine and Sovereign Will. |
THE BAPTISM IN WATER: Every Christian must be baptized in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is an outward expression of his salvation and a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. |
THE LORD’S SUPPER: We believe that Jesus Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper to commemorate His death until He comes again. |
THE TITHE: Every believer must bring the tenth of their income to the church as what God has commanded. |
