We believe that the Old and New Testament scriptures, in their original writing, are fully inspired by God and accept them as the final authority for faith and how we are to live.

We believe the Godhead exists eternally co-equal and co-existent in three persons; not three Gods but one; not one Person but three, namely Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and are equal in deity, power and glory.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man; conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life. By His blood shed at the Cross, He obtained for us eternal redemption, the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that He ascended into heaven where He is now seated at the right hand of the Father, in the position of power and authority, there to make intercession for the saints forever.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit and subsequent to conversion; the Spirit desires to fill, empower and anoint believers for ministry and witness.

We 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.

We believe that Satan, originally the good angel Lucifer, rebelled against God, taking a third of the 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. At the cross of Christ, Satan was judged and defeated and at the end of the age, will be cast forever into the lake of fire which has been prepared for him and his angels.

We believe that Adam was originally created in the image of God, righteous and without sin. In consequence of his disobedience, every individual has sinned and is guilty before God. Man by nature is depraved and incapable of saving his own soul.

We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone and that all who repent of their sin receive Jesus Christ by faith as Savior and confess Him as Lord are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. 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.

We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are the two ordinances of the Church to be observed until the time of Christ's return. They are not a means of salvation, but are channels of God's sanctifying grace and blessing to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

THE CHURCH

We believe that the Church is God's primary instrument through which He is fulfilling His redemptive purposes in the earth. The Church is not confined to any one denomination, but consists of true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, who by faith have had their sins forgiven and have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit.

We confess the Lord Jesus Christ and no other, as Head of the Church, and as our Lord.

We believe that God has given the Church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry. 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.

We believe that God has called the Church to preach the Gospel to all nations, and especially to remember the poor and to minister to their needs through sacrificial giving and practical service. This ministry is an expression of the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the literal Second Coming of Christ at the end of the age when He will manifest Himself in glory, majesty, power and in physical Presence. This is the blessed hope of the Church.

We also believe in and are praying for a great end-time harvest of souls and a victorious Church that will experience an unprecedented unity, purity and power in the Holy Spirit.
