Word
The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the verbally inspired word of God - the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible, and God-breathed.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Matthew 5:18; John 16:12-13)
God
One God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit co-eternal in being, co-eternal in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:13)
Jesus
The Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order that He might reveal God and redeem the sinful man.
The Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative and a sacrifice, and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.
(Romans 3:24; 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3-5)
The Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry as Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate.
(Acts 1:9-10; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 9:24; Romans 8:34; 1 John 2:1-2)
Jesus is coming again to judge the living and the dead.
(1 Peter 4:5; Romans 14:9; 2 Timothy 4:1)
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling, and sealing them until the day of redemption.
(John 16:8-11; 2 Corinthians 3:6; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 5:18)
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart, and that the purpose of this is the provision of power for service.
(Matthew 3:11; Luke 24:49,53; Acts 1:4-8)
Man
Man was created in the image and likeness of God, but through Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. Man is depraved and of himself utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.
(Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3,12)
Salvation
Salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on a violent cross for the forgiveness of our sins.
(Ephesians 2:8-10; John1:12; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19)
Assurance
It is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion for the flesh.
(Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15)
Spiritual Gifts
We believe in the current and evident activity of God in His sovereign bestowing of spiritual gifts.
(1 Corinthians 12:1,7,10,28,31; 1 Corinthians 14:1)
We believe that, according to scripture, signs following believers.
(Mark 16:17-20; Romans 15:18-19; Hebrews 2:4)
We believe in the Fruit of the Spirit.
(Romans 6:22; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9; Philippians 1:11)
God does hear and answer the prayer of faith, in accordance with His own will, for the sick and afflicted.
Divine healing, according to God's time frame, is provided for all in the Atonement.
(Psalm 103:3; Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; James 5:14-16; 1 Peter 2:24)
It is the privilege and responsibility of every believer to minister according to the gift(s) and grace of God that is given to them.
(Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 13; 1 Peter 4:10-11)
Church
The church, which is the body and bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons.
(Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2)
The birthing and continuation of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament.
(Acts 14:27; Acts 18:22; Acts 20:17; 1 Timothy 3:1-3; Titus 1:5-11)
We recognize the believer's baptism and the Lord's supper as scriptural means of testimony for the church.
(Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42; Acts 18:8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
We believe and intend that our current church locations are just the first of many that will be planted!
