WHAT WE BELIEVE

Statement of faith

We believe

We believe that there is only one true God, one in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful.

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

We believe humanity 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 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. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today in the presence of God and in His people.

We believe 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.

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling we are 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 that they might have power to be witnesses.

We believe in the Church, both in its larger context and the local church, as the arm through which we advance the ministry of Jesus Christ and further His Kingdom.
