We believe there is only One true God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One being, in three Persons. He is the Eternal Father, Creator of all, King of all, Redeemer, and Lord of All. He is perfect in holiness, goodness, justice, mercy, righteousness, truth, and love.

♦

The Bible is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. We believe it to be perfect in truth and fully capable of revealing all God desires to be make known of Himself; His purposes and will.

♦

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.

♦

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 “fully God” and “fully man.”

♦

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. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.

♦

In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live holy and minister supernaturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they might have power to be witnesses.

♦

The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness, and torment.

♦

The Church, the ekklesia, those called out of the world to serve and govern under Christ’s Lordship, consists of all who have placed their wholehearted faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His baptism and communion. The ministry of all believers is to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ, advance His Kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the Good News of God’s love, discipling the nations, making the Father and Son known – baptizing and teaching all to love and obey God.

♦

We believe in Christ’s return to call His Bride to Himself. In the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His Bride – His Church. Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.

♦

We believe the Kingdom is a present reality, though not realized in its fullness on earth until Christ returns in glory and restores all things. However, it was Christ’s purpose to initiate His ever-expanding Kingdom power while on earth, delegating that purpose to His people. It is the responsibility of the Church to make this Kingdom reality known, in His power, through the proclamation of the Word and demonstrations of the Spirit’s power with signs and wonders as Jesus, the apostles, and church history have confirmed.
