The Holy Scriptures We believe
that the Bible is the inspired Word of God: true, immutable, steadfast,
and unchangeable (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).
The
Eternal Godhead We believe that God is triune: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit; the Three are coexistent, coeternal, and equal in
divine perfection (1 John 5:7).
The Fall of Man We believe that man, created in the image of
God, by voluntary disobedience fell into the depths of sin and iniquity,
bequeathing sin’s nature and consequences to all mankind, with their
accompanying loss of intended meaning and purpose (Genesis 1:27; Romans
5:12).
The Plan of Redemption We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died
for us, took our place, and with His life’s blood purchased the pardon
for all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Titus 2:14).
Salvation
Through Grace We believe that salvation is wholly through
grace; that no human righteousness or merit can contribute to our
receiving God’s love and favor (Ephesians 2:8).
Repentance and Acceptance We
believe that, upon sincere repentance and a whole-hearted acceptance of
Christ, we are justified before God through Jesus’ sacrificial death
(Romans 10:6-10; 1 John 1:9).
The New Birth We
believe that the change that takes place in people at conversion is a
very real one; that having received righteousness in Christ and having
received of His Spirit, people will have new desires, interests, and
pursuits in life (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
Daily
Christian Life We believe that it is
the will of God that those who have been born again grow in
sanctification, become partakers of His holiness, and daily grow
stronger in the faith, power, prayer, love, and service (2 Corinthians
7:1).
Water Baptism and
the Lord's Supper We believe that being baptized in the name
of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is an essential response to Jesus’
command, testifying to His lordship as Christ and King (Romans 6:4). We
believe in observing the Lord’s Supper, receiving the broken bread and
the fruit of the vine with joy and faith as we partake anew of the life
and triumph of Christ’s Cross (1 Corinthians 11:24-26)
Baptism
in the Holy Spirit We believe that the baptism in the Holy
Spirit empowers believers to exalt Jesus, to live lives of holiness,
and to be witnesses of God’s saving grace; we expect the Spirit’s
incoming to be after the same manner as that in which He came upon
believers in the days of the Early Church (Acts 1: 5, 8; 2:4).
The Spirit-Filled Life We believe
that it is the will of God that believers walk in the Spirit moment by
moment, serving the Lord and living lives of patience, love, truth,
sincerity, and prayer (Ephesians 4:30-32; Galatians 5:16, 25).
The
Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit We believe that the Holy
Spirit bestows enabling ministry gifts upon believers, and that these
gifts will build up the Body of Christ through edification and
evangelism(1 Corinthians 12:1-11); as evidence of a Spirit-filled life,
believers should show spiritual “fruit”: love, joy, peace,
long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance
(Galatians 5:22-25).
Moderation We believe
a Christians’ moderation should be obvious to others and that
relationship with Jesus should never lead people into extremes of
fanaticism; their lives should model that of Christ in uprightness,
balance, humility, and self-sacrifice (Colossians 3:12, 13; Philippians
4:5).
Divine Healing We believe that
divine healing is the power of Jesus Christ to heal the sick in answer
to the prayer of faith; He, who does not change, is still willing and
able to heal the body, as well as the soul and spirit in answer to faith
(Mark 16: 17, 18; James 5:14-16).
The Second Coming of
Christ We believe that the second coming of Christ is
personal and imminent; the certainty of His coming and the fact that no
man knows the hour of His coming prompt our evangelistic efforts; that
the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven, the dead in Christ shall
rise, and the redeemed will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air
(Matthew 24:36, 42, 44; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17).
Church
Relationship We believe that it is our sacred duty to
identify ourselves with a congregation of believers with whom we can
worship God, observe the ordinances of Christ, exhort and support one
another, labor for the salvation of others, and work together to advance
the Lord’s Kingdom (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:24).
Civil
Government We believe that civil government is by divine
appointment and that civil laws should be upheld at all times except in
things opposed to the will of God (Acts 4: 18-20; Romans 13:1-5).
Judgment We believe that all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ:
the redeemed to be delivered unto everlasting life, and the unrepentant
unto everlasting punishment (Revelation 20:11, 12; 2 Corinthians 5:10).
Heaven We believe that heaven is the
glorious habitation of the living God and the eternal home of born-again
believers (John 14:2; Revelation 7:15-17).
Hell We believe that hell is a place of darkness,
deepest sorrow, and unquenchable fire, which was not prepared for man
but for the devil and his angels; yet it will become the place of
eternal separation from God for all who reject Christ as Savior (Matthew
13: 41, 42; Revelation 20:10, 15). Evangelism We
believe that soul winning is the “one big business” of the Church on
earth, and that every hindrance to worldwide evangelism should be
removed (James 5:20; Mark 16:15).
Tithing and Offerings We believe that tithing and offerings are
ordained of God to sustain His ministry, spread the Gospel, and release
personal blessing (Malachi 3:10; 1 Corinthians 16: 1, 2).
