What We Believe

The bottom line ...

We passionately follow Jesus, we believe in and teach from the Bible, and we worship God with all our hearts, soul, mind, and strength. Through a relationship with Jesus, we are healed, renewed, redeemed, forgiven, transformed, and loved. What Jesus did on the cross made it possible for everyone that says "yes" to Him, to live a full and abundant life. Finally, it would be unbelievably selfish for us to receive God's grace and goodness and not share it with others! It is our passion to share this faith and hope with the world. We deeply value:

Loving God - fully, completely, and passionately.
Loving People - the way that Jesus loved us.
Loving Life - walking out a full life in Christ.

Statement of Faith

God

We believe that God is eternal, has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Trinity. (Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)

Jesus

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6)

We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples. (I Corinthians 15:1-8; Romans 4:25)

We believe Jesus ascended to Heaven and will come to Earth again for the Church. (John 14:2,3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells all believers, and through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered for Christian service and gifted for this service. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is typically evidenced by speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. The Holy Spirit also enables believers to live a Christ-like life exhibiting Godly character. (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:8, 2:1-4, 8:17, 10:44-46, 19:6; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12)

We believe in the operations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as described in I Corinthians 12:14.

Man & Salvation

We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain righteousness on his own. (Romans 3:11; 5:12,18)

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the work of the Cross by which our sin was atoned. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11)

The Bible

We believe in the plenary verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of the Scriptures as originally given and that they are infallibly and uniquely authoritative and free from error of any sort in all matters with which they deal, including scientific and historical as well as moral and theological. (II Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13).

Water Baptism

We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in order to fulfill the command of Christ. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:34 -38; 10:44-48; 19:1-6)

Healing

We believe in the healing of the body by divine power, or divine healing. (Acts 4:24-31; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14-15)

Communion

We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord's Supper, for believers. (I Corinthians 11:23-32)

Heaven & Hell

We believe in eternal life in Heaven for believers and eternal punishment in Hell for unbelievers. (John 5:24; 3:16; Mark 9:43-50; II Thessalonians 1:8-9; Revelation 20:10-15)

We believe in the reality and person of Satan and the eternal judgment of Satan and his angels. (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10 -15)
