What We Believe
God
We believe there is one eternally existing God who has three distinct
persons in the Trinity or Tri-Unity: God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26-27)
We believe God is the creator of all that exists, visible and invisible.
Therefore, He is worthy of all glory, honor, and majesty. God is perfect in
love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy.
He is unchangeable and therefore the same yesterday, today, and forever
more. (Genesis 1:1)
Jesus Christ
We Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, The Second Person of the Trinity, the
savior of the world, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
True God and True Man. (Matthew 1:18-25)
We believe that Christ died for the sins of humanity, was buried and rose
on the third day with all power in heaven and earth in His hands.
We believe Christ will return to rapture the church, dead in Christ will rise
first, and then those that are yet still living will be caught up with Him in the
air. (1Thessalonians 4:13-17)
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is God, The Third Person of the Trinity: He
convicts the hearts of people that are contrary to The Word of God,
therefore leading the believer to repentance. He indwells those that
confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. (Acts 2:1-4)
Mankind
We believe that the first humans, Adam and Eve were created in the image of
God and after the likeness of God. We believe God blessed them and said
unto them “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it
and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and
over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. (Genesis 1:28)
We believe that Adam and Eve rebelled against God's word and will for
their lives and were therefore driven out from the Garden of Eden.
(Genesis 3:23-24)
Salvation
We believe Jesus Christ came to reconcile us back to God from which we
came. Jesus Christ lived a life without sin and willingly gave His life to
save humanity on the Cross at Mount Calvary for all that will accept Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior. (to accept Jesus Christ's free gift of salvation turn
in your bible to Romans 10:9 and confess out of your mouth that Jesus
Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the
dead) WELCOME TO THE BODY OF CHRIST!!!!
Sanctification
We believe God calls us to live in holiness and in his will. We are able to do
so only with the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit and through the
growing knowledge of God’s Word. (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14)
We believe it is the responsibility of every believer, to embody the word of
faith which will increase our faith in God to believe God at His word.
(Romans 10:17)
The Church
We believe in the universality and the locality of the Church (ECCLESIA)
the called-out ones. The universal Church is the Body of Christ, consisting
of a multitude of believers from different traditions, denominations,
languages, and cultures. The local Church is an active cell within the body
for which believers can gather to worship, praise, and fellowship with other
believers. (Ephesians 4:11-16)
We believe in the great commission for the church to spread the gospel
and to manifest the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 28:19-20)
Holy Scriptures
We believe - All scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.
(2 Timothy 3:16)
Holy Sacrament
We believe the Holy Sacrament (communion) is Sacred and was the final
fellowship of Jesus with His disciples before he departed the earth.
(Luke 22:7-20)
We believe all that have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
(Romans 10:9) - are required to be baptized in the name of The Father,
The Son and The Holy Spirit by means of full immersion into water
according to the commandment of Jesus Christ (Matthew 3:13-17, Mark
1:9-11 and Acts 2:41) before partaking in the Holy Sacrament.
We believe the communion consists of Bread and Wine, symbolizing The
Lord's Broken Body and The Blood He shed for us. All Baptized believers in
Christ should partake in the Lord's Communion “until He comes”.
Holy Institutions
We believe in marriage, between one man and one woman as God hath
Ordained in the Church. (Matthew 19:5-6)
We believe after marriage the one man and one woman can then enjoy
intimate fellowship and procreation to start the extension of the family unit.
We believe marriage is honorable and the marriage bed is undefiled.
(Hebrews 13:4)
