Our Core Beliefs

We exist as a non-denominational ministry committed to knowing Christ and making Him known. The Bible is our all-sufficient rule of faith and conduct, and the model for our ministry. The following is our statement of faith:

BELIEFS

• Scriptures are given by divine inspiration of God. The scriptures are infallible, inerrant, the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16)
• In the eternal Godhead who has revealed himself as one God existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
• In the creation; the fall of man as recorded in Genesis; total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness. Therefore, our righteousness is the result of Christ’s work (Romans 5:12-19)
• In the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, very God, and very Man (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:14-18; Isaiah 7:14;9:6)
• Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared unto His disciples (1 Corinthians 15:1-5; John 20:19, 26-29)
• In the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, his exaltation, personal, literal and bodily coming again the second time for His church (John 14:2, 3 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
• In the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the Cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins (Ephesians 2:1-9; Hebrews 9:12, 22; Romans 5:11)
• In the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6)
• It is the will of God that every believer be filled with the Holy spirit as a real experience at or subsequent of salvation (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17)
• In the operation of the Spiritual Gifts and a Spirit-filled Life, separated from the world and perfecting Holiness in the fear of God (1 Corinthians 1:2-14; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ephesians 5:18-21)
• In the healing of the body by divine power (Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14)
• In the table of the Lord, commonly called the Holy communion or the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:28-32; Matthew 26:26-28)
• That there is one true universal church, made up of genuine believers. This one universal church is also composed of many local churches in given localities. These churches are under the sovereign headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as the propagation of the gospel (Acts 15:22; Matthew 16:18; 18:15-20)
• Every soul should be subject to governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God and God appoints the authority that exists. (Romans 13)
