What We Believe

The Scripture

We believe that the Bible (Old and New Testament) is the only authoritative and infallible revelation from God to man.

God

We believe that God eternally exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – and that these three are one God, having the same nature, attributes and perfection, and worthy of the same worship and obedience.

Man

We believe that man was originally created in the image of God but has fallen through sin, and as a consequence has separated himself from God, being dead in sin. Man is now essentially and unchangeably unholy apart from divine grace.

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ was sent by God the Father to manifest God to man and to become the Redeemer of a lost world. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, and voluntarily accepted the Father’s will and became the sacrificial Lamb to take away the sins of man through His death on the cross. On the third day after His burial, He rose again and was received into heaven where He now rules over all things and makes intercession for His people.

Salvation

The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only way for salvation of lost and sinful man. Salvation is obtained by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers at the moment of their conversion and empowers believers to live the Christian life.

The Church

We believe that all who are united to the risen and ascended Christ are members of His Church regardless of denominational affiliation. Having become members one of another, all are under solemn duty to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, rising above doctrinal differences and loving one another with a pure heart.

The Local Church

We believe that the local church is the primary instrument of God in the world today for the purpose of Biblical teaching, corporate worship, encouragement, fellowship, discipleship, evangelism and missions. Christians should make a commitment to a local church where they can be spiritually fed, connect with other ministries, and practice Biblical stewardship.

The Christian Life

We believe that Christians are called to walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, and so living in the power of the Spirit they will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. The flesh with its fallen nature needs to be kept constantly in subjection to Christ, so as not to come forth in our lives and bring dishonor to the Lord.

Charismatic Issues

We are an interdenominational ministry that seeks to serve and cooperate with all segments of the evangelical body of Christ. We realize there is division in the Christian body over the matter of speaking in tongues and the second indwelling of the Holy Spirit after conversion and we respect the diversity of perspectives and traditions. In order to maintain harmony in the ministry it is our policy to refrain from these practices and teachings.

The Eternal State

We believe that after death, those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ shall be resurrected and be reunited with Christ in heaven. Those who have not believed in Christ will be separated from God forever.
