Statement of Faith and Core Values
WE BELIEVE:
In the HOLY TRINITY; God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit as our paraclete. (John 14:26)
In the atonement (covering of sin) and the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the remission (forgiveness) of sin. (Hebrews 9:12; 10:1-22)
That JESUS CHRIST is the HEAD of the church, which was purchased by his shed blood on Calvary's Cross. (Colossians 1:15-20)
That we are SAVED only by GRACE, through FAITH (Ephesians 2:8-9). God saves us through a REBIRTH and RENEWAL by the HOLY SPIRIT (Titus 3:4-7).
After receiving salvation, we are to EVANGELIZE to those that are lost and have not received JESUS CHRIST as their personal SAVIOR. (Matthew 28:19-20)
In ordinances of WATER BAPTISM through immersion and the celebration of HOLY COMMUNION. (Matthew 3:11, 1 Cor. 11:26)
In the full expression and manifestation of the BAPTISM and FILLING of the HOLY SPIRIT. (Acts 2:38)
That the BIBLE is the inspired WORD OF GOD and is the guiding principle and foundation of this ministry. (2 Timothy 3:16)
That tithes and offerings are God's way of financing the church. (Mal. 3:8-12, 2 Cor. 8:1-5)
In the second coming of Jesus Christ, and eternal life in heaven for the redeemed and hell for the unredeemed. (Matthew 24:30)
In the union of one woman (born a woman) to one man (born a man) as the biblical foundation and God ordained plan for marriage. (Gen. 2:24, Eph. 5:31-33)
