What we Believe

  • We believe in the one true and living God who is infinite in power and holy in nature, existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All persons of the Trinity are omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (everywhere). 

    • John 10:30

    • John 14:26

    • Philippians 2:5-7

  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious and atoning death through his shed blood, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and his personal return in power and glory.

    • Titus 3:5

    • Galatians 5:22-23

    • Hebrews 4:12

    • 1 Peter 1:15–16

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, written by God's revelation to holy men of old as they were moved by Holy Spirit. Matchless and incomparable in every way, God’s Word is the basis for the believer’s life.

    • 2 Timothy 3:16-17

    • 2 Peter 1:19-21

  • We believe salvation is the gift of God and that it can only be obtained through Jesus Christ. By grace and through the confession of faith are we saved. Salvation is the gift of eternal life promised to all believers.

    • Romans 6:23

    • Ephesians 2:8–10

  • Concerning water baptism, we believe is the sacramental act that enables believers to affirm faith in Jesus Christ and identify with His death, burial and resurrection. Baptism is a symbolic burial through water immersion by which the new Christian publicly declares death to sin and life to Christ. It gives testimony to the inward new birth (being born again) and is a clear commitment to turn from the former way of living.

    • Matthew 3:13-17

    • Matthew 28:19

    • Romans 6:4

    Concerning the baptism of Holy Spirit, we believe it to be the work whereby the Spirit of God places the believer into union with Christ and fellow other believers in the body of Christ at the moment of salvation. The baptism of Holy Spirit is a gift from God, who helps empower believers to develop the character of Christ and live every day in God's will. Spirit baptism is evident in the power to be a witness, and it can be accompanied by the power to speak in tongues.
