our beliefs

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God; giving a true history of the creation of heaven, earth, and humanity and containing a correct prophecy of the ages to come regarding heaven, earth, and the destiny of humanity. Moreover, there is no salvation outside of what is taught in its pages.

We believe that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (II Timothy 3:16)

We believe that “..the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (II Peter 1:21)

The Holy Trinity

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

We believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is true son of God. He died on the cross for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father and is now our High Priest and Advocate.

We believe that there is only one name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). The fullness of the Godhead is in Jesus (Colossians 2:9). The Word was God, and the Word is Jesus (John 1:1-14).

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is scriptural and other tongues accompany it. The in-filling of the Holy Spirit is a continuous process throughout the lifetime of a believer resulting in the reproduction of Christ like character in the believer and the ennoblement to exercise spiritual gift. (I Cor.l2).

Restorative Power of GOD

We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and therefore lost glory. Only through regeneration by the work of the Holy Spirit can man’s salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from man’s works, and is possessed by any and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

We believe in a regenerated church membership: that is, persons old enough to understand their need for Jesus Christ and, of their own free will, accepts Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

We believe that baptism is by immersion and the Lord’s Supper is a memorial to His suffering and death on the cross. These are ordinances to be observed by the Church in its present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means for man’s salvation.

We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His Second Coming inspires believers for dynamic and zealous life and service for Him while waiting for His return.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, and the everlasting punishment and separation from God of the unsaved in hell (Acts 24:15; Isaiah 26:19).

Gifts of The Spirit

We believe in all prophecies in the Bible. We also believe that one must be given the gift of prophecy through the Holy Spirit, therefore we reject any prophecy that is against the Bible.
