Statement of Beliefs
WE BELIEVE IN:
THE HOLY TRINITY
God is a trinity manifested in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Holy.Ghost)
THE HOLY BIBLE
We acknowledge the divine inspiration and inerrancy of the Scriptures, both the Old.and.New.Testaments
THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST
His virgin birth, His humanity, His sinless life, His teachings, His miracles His crucifixion, His resurrection, His ascension to heaven where He is seated on the right hand of God
HEAVEN / HELL
We believe in the actuality of heaven as a glorious spirit-realm location, and because we know heaven is real, we have hope for our present lives and hope for eternity. Conversely, people who don't accept Jesus Christ as Lord will suffer eternal punishment.
SALVATION IN JESUS ALONE
We believe that salvation comes only through personal faith in the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We encourage water baptism but acknowledge that baptism is not mandatory for salvation, nor does baptism alone assure salvation. Each person must have a heartfelt belief in our Risen Savior Jesus the Christ.
HOLINESS
We strive daily to live in a way that pleases God, realizing we need the Holy Spirit, who guides us through human flaws, illuminates God's word, and inspires us to change for the.better
GOD'S ORDER FOR MARRIAGE & MINISTRY
A husband is the head of the marriage and solely holds the office of pastor, while a ministry wife may serve, prophesy, and contribute complementary gifts under the covering of her husband.
THE IMMINENT RETURN OF OUR LORD AND KING JESUS CHRIST
Jesus will return in power and glory to gather true believers in the air. Then Jesus will return to rule and reign on earth. All believers should eagerly anticipate and herald His appearance.
