What We Believe

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the supreme and foundational standard of faith. We
believe in the inerrancy of the Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New
Testaments in the original autographs, is the inspired, infallible Word of God,
a complete and final written revelation of God.

God

We believe in all the fundamental doctrines of evangelical Christianity. We
believe in one personal, transcendent and holy God, the Creator of all, who is
eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Sin

We believe that all people are by nature and choice separated from God and
responsible for their own sin. Further, we believe that God offers salvation,
redemption and forgiveness freely through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ and Salvation

We believe that Jesus Christ, though fully God, became a human and that He is the
promised Messiah, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the
atonement of our sins by His vicarious death on the cross, was bodily
resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit, ascended back to the right hand of
God the Father, and lives forever to make intercession for us.

We believe the moment a person trusts in the death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord, trusting Him alone to save, and not good works, he
or she receives salvation and is immediately born again, forgiven, sealed by
the Holy Spirit, and becomes a child of God.

Holy Spirit and His Work

After Jesus ascended to heaven, the Holy Spirit was given to all believers empowering
them to be effective witnesses in the world. This privilege and responsibility
continues for all Christ followers until He returns.

We believe in the person and work of the Holy Spirit, who indwells, seals and
empowers all believers, baptizing them into the Body of Christ. We believe in
the fullness of the Holy Spirit for all believers who ask in faith, enabling
them to preach the Gospel in power.

We believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit described in the New Testament are
vital for the church and should be expressed within biblical guidelines.

Future Hope

We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return to the earth. His
soon return motivates us to heartfelt worship, service and witness.

We believe in the resurrection of the body unto eternal life for the saved and
unto eternal punishment for the lost.

Spiritual Life

We believe that the most important aspect of ministry is to guide each believer
into an intimate walk with Jesus and being conformed into His image.

We seek to teach the Word of God in such a way that an individual can apply its
message to his or her life, leading that person to greater maturity in Christ.
