Statement of Faith
Preach the Gospel
We have been called to preach the gospel to the poor, " ... to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord" (Luke 4:18-19).
We believe that all scripture is given by inspiration of God (2
Timothy 3:16).
One Lord and One Baptism
We believe in one eternal God revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is fully God, equal in power, glory, and authority, working together in perfect unity to reveal the love, truth, salvation, and power of God to humanity. We also believe in one baptism (water baptism) into Christ through faith, symbolizing our identification with His death, burial, and resurrection, and our new life in Him through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Salvation Through Faith In Jesus
We believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
and are in need of salvation. We maintain that faith in Christ Jesus' death, burial and
resurrection is the only way, truth and life.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit - Speaking in Tongues
The born-again experience occurs upon confessing that God raised
Jesus from the dead and asking Jesus to come inside your heart.
We believe in the subsequent experience of the baptism of Holy
Spirit with the evidence of speaking with tongues.
Spiritual Gifts Through the Holy Spirit
We believe that Holy Spirit expresses Himself through people.
We believe in the ministry gifts as outlined in 1 Corinthians 12 and
Romans 12 and we expect the expression and fulfillment of the
same.
Holy Communion - Return of Christ
We believe in observance of the Lord's Supper
(Holy Communion).We believe in the return of our soon coming King, Jesus Christ, the
resurrection of the dead in Christ and that those who remain will be
caught up to meet the Lord in the air. This is the Second Coming as
described in 1 Thessalonians 4.
