WHAT WE
BELIEVE

We believe that it is important to you to know where we stand on our faith according to the Word of God. We pray that this
statement
of faith is helpful to you. This statement is not designed to be
exhaustive, but clarifying, so we can walk in unity because
as Amos 3:3 says, “Can two people walk together, without agreeing on the direction?” (NLT)
WE BELIEVE in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible Word of God and we
SEEK
to teach the Word of God in such a way that its message can be applied
to an individual’s life, leading that person to greater
maturity in Christ.

Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to
teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in
our
lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is
right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do
every good work.
WE BELIEVE in the trinity – one God who is eternal and immutable, and manifests Himself in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1 - Deuteronomy 6:4 - Matthew 28:19 - John 10:30)
WE BELIEVE that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah (John 1:36-42), born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34-
35),
totally without sin (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26), God in human flesh
(John 1:1 & 14; John 20:28), the One who died on the cross
for
the sins of the world (1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9),
was buried (John 19:40-42), rose again from the dead on
the third day (John 2:19), and ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven, where He now intercedes for us who believe in
Him. (Mark 16:19; Acts 7:56; 1 Timothy 2:5)
WE BELIEVE that after Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit and that all believers need to be filled and
empowered
by the Holy Spirit to live a godly life and to be bold in our witness
for the Lord. (Romans 8:13-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1
Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30; Ephesians 5:18) 7
WE BELIEVE that all humanity is lost and born with a sinful nature, separated from God and responsible for their own sin, and can
only be saved by a personal faith in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and not by any human merit or
performance. (John 3:16-19; John 5:24; Romans 3:10; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5)
WE BELIEVE in a real and literal devil, called Satan, who, along with all his fallen angels, demons, and evil spirits, are destined to
spend
eternity in hell, and now seek to deceive the world, defeat the
believers, and destroy the work of God, but can be resisted by
believers,
who are protected by God, the Holy Spirit and the intercession of Jesus
Christ our Lord (Genesis 3:1; Job 1:6-12; Matthew
4:1-11; Luke 22:31-32; 1 John 4:4; Revelation20:10)
WE BELIEVE that heaven is a real and literal place where the saved will dwell forever, and that hell is a literal place of torment where
unbelievers will reside forever. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:8;
Revelation 22:5) that the human race was created as male and female by a direct act of God (Genesis 1:26-28)
WE BELIEVE marriage is a sacred covenantal union between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24)
WE BELIEVE that all human beings are made in God’s image, and life starts at the moment of conception within their mother’s
wombs. (Psalm139:15-16- Jeremiah 1:5)
WE BELIEVE based upon clear biblical teaching and by obedience to the Holy Scriptures, that life is to be preserved without
exception. (Genesis 9:6) 8
WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is going to return in the clouds to Rapture His church before the tribulation that is coming upon the
whole earth (John 14:13;
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), and that He will return in the Second Coming
with His saints and all His holy angels to the earth at the ....
