Statement of Faith
We believe that there is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator, and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.We believe that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.We believe that humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death, and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man."We believe that we are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing, and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. We believe that through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ, a believer is co-crucified with Christ and born again a new creation, filled with the Holy Spirit, and brought into the fullness of maturity in Christ through the renewing of their mind. The Holy Spirit is given to convict, regenerate, justify, sanctify, comfort, counsel, and empower a believer to fulfill their God-given purpose.

We believe in the ongoing, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister supernaturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4, is poured out on believers so that they might have God’s power to be His witnesses. We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are present and active today and available to all believers according to the distribution of the Holy Spirit. These gifts are to be used to edify and build up Christ's church and fulfill the great commission.
We believe the victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness, and torment.
We believe that the Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His Church the ordinances of baptism and communion. We believe the marriage covenant is holy, and can only be made between one man and one woman. We believe that human life begins at the moment of conception and that any willful ending of that life, except to preserve the life of the mother, is considered by God to be the shedding of innocent blood. We believe that God created mankind to be male and female and that any willful alteration to His perfect, life-giving design, like all other sins, leads to death.
We believe the Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, and discipling the nations – baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
We believe in the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign with His overcoming bride – the Church.
We believe that heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the lost and the saved, the one to everlasting death and the other to everlasting life.
