WE BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD

We believe in one self-existing, self-sufficient, and self-declaring God, the Creator of all things, in whom every creature receives life.

Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary, lived sinlessly, was crucified and rose again as our High Priest, and will return to rule as King of Kings forever.

The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, equal in power and glory to the Father and Son, regenerates believers, endows them with gifts, and equips them for effective witness and service.

We believe in one Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — eternal, identical in nature, and equal in power, glory, and perfection.

God created man in His own image and likeness, fearfully and wonderfully made, and breathed into him the breath of life, establishing him as the crown of all creation with dominion over the earth and all living things.

We believe that marriage is a holy union ordained by God exclusively between a man and a woman, and any deviation from this divine order is contrary to His word and purpose.

Sanctification is a state of being set apart from sin and consecrated to God, while perfection is the ongoing spiritual growth of total yielding to the Holy Spirit, conforming to the image of Christ.

Sin is an inward rebellion against God that man cannot overcome alone, but Jesus Christ, sinless and perfect, died in our place and rose again so that through repentance, faith, and public confession of Him as Lord, we may receive forgiveness and eternal life.

Christ bore our sins and sicknesses on the cross, and through faith believers may receive healing and minister healing to others through laying on of hands, prayer, and anointing with oil.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a supernatural empowerment for witness and service, with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues, enabling believers to commune directly with God and manifest the gifts and fruits of the Spirit.

The seven-year reign of the Antichrist following the rapture will be the darkest period in history, a time of God’s judgment on earth for man’s rejection of His Son, during which Israel will turn to and be reconciled to Christ.

The rapture is the sudden catching up of all believers, living and dead, to meet the Lord in the air with resurrected bodies, marking the beginning of the seven-year reign of the Antichrist.

The judgment seat of Christ is not a judgment of condemnation but of reward, where believers are rewarded according to their faithfulness, Christian walk, and use of God-given gifts and talents.

After defeating His enemies at Armageddon, Christ will establish a thousand-year reign of peace, holiness, justice, and glory on earth.

Hell is the place of eternal torment for Satan, his angels, and all who reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

After the Great White Throne Judgment, God will create a new heaven and earth as the eternal glorious home of all born-again believers.

The act of restoring what is owed or wrongfully taken, requiring confession and repayment whether or not the offended party is aware, with wisdom sought when restitution could harm others.

An outward act of obedience declaring our union with Christ in His death and resurrection, separating us from the old life of sin to walk in newness of life.

We believe that prophecy is a divine gift of the Holy Spirit by which God speaks to, edifies, and directs His people, and that the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of bread and the fruit of the vine, is a memorial of Christ’s suffering and death, a symbol of sharing in His divine nature, and a declaration of His second coming as commanded by Jesus.

We believe that God has established all authority and that believers are called to honor and submit to governing authorities, recognizing that resistance to authority is resistance to God’s divine order.

We believe that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and that a spirit of rebellion is rooted in pride and opposition to God’s ordained order, and that believers are called to walk in humility and submission to God and His appointed authorities.

We believe that as God has freely forgiven us our sins through Christ, believers are called to forgive the debts and offenses of others, releasing them from obligation as an act of obedience and Christlike love.
