Our Mission
Our Mission is to conform to the wisdom of Jesus Christ. Our calling is to teach this way of life boldly to all who desire to grow in God's Kingdom, utilizing the following biblical principles:
STATEMENT OF FAITH
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES-
All scripture (Old and New Testament) is given by the inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Corinthians 10:11)
THE TRINITY-
God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Spirit—one God, eternally existent in three persons.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19-20, 1 John 5:7)
THE DEITY OF CHRIST-
Jesus is God incarnate and was manifest in human flesh. He was like us in all ways except for one, being free from sin. (Isaiah 9:6-7, John 1:1-14, John 5:22-23, John 8:54-58, John 10:30)
THE VIRGIN BIRTH-
We believe that our Lord was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary.
(Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-23)
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN-
All must be “born again” to enter the kingdom of God, to obtain His blessings, to have peace with God, and to meet Him in the air as His bride, without spot or blemish.
(Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9, John 3:3)
CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS-
Jesus died on the cross so that we might live, offering Himself up as the perfect sacrifice for sinful man—the salvation of man .(Romans 5:6-10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, John 3:16-17)
THE BODILY RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION OF CHRIST-
Christ is the risen savior. Jesus arose from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. (Romans 8:31-35, Acts 1:8-11)
JESUS IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH-
Christ is the Head of the Church, and all attention and glory are directed to Him alone. It is Christ whom we preach, praise, worship, and serve. (Ephesians 1:22 John 12:32)
THE FIVEFOLD MINISTRY-
The Head of the Church has given apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers for the perfecting of the saints and the work of the ministry; and these are actual, literal offices functioning in the Church today. (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12)
WATER BAPTISM-
Just as Jesus was Baptized by John. We Believe in the Water Baptism (Matthew 3:13-17)
THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT-
All believers are entitled to and should earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31)
• Distinct from and subsequent to the new birth:
Acts 8:12-17, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 15:7-9
• Initial evidence of this infilling is speaking in tongues:
Acts 2:4, Acts 10:46
THE LORD’S SECOND COMING-
A distinct, separate event from the rapture of the Church. The personal, imminent return of Christ at the end of the seven-year tribulation, when He will personally and visibly return, with His saints.
(Revelation 19:11-16, Revelation 1:7, Matthew 24:30, Zechariah 14:4-6, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, Titus 2:13)
THE MILLENNIAL REIGN-
A thousand years on earth, during which satan will be bound, and the Lord will have things the way He always intended for His kingdom and His saints. (Revelation 20:1-6)
