OUR BELIEFS

GOD
We believe there is only one true and living God, infinite in power, holy in nature, and indivisible in His essence. He is the Creator of all things and has revealed Himself fully in the person of Jesus Christ. As the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Him, the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Ghost in regeneration. We worship Him as Lord and Savior, and we believe His name is above every name. (Colossians 2:9)
BIBLE
We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, written by men under the direction of the Holy Ghost. It is the ultimate authority for truth, salvation, and daily living, and it reveals God’s plan and purpose for all people. We strive to live according to its teachings in every part of our lives.
SIN & SALVATION
We believe all have sinned and are in need of salvation. Through faith, repentance, water baptism in Jesus’ name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost, we are forgiven, made new, and given the hope of eternal life. This full plan of salvation is God’s gift to restore us into right relationship with Him.
THE GOSPEL
We believe the Gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ, His death, burial, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life. It is the power of God to save everyone who believes. Through the Gospel, we are called to repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, enabling us to live a victorious, Spirit-filled life. (Romans 1:16)
CHRISTIAN LIVING
We believe that Christian living means walking daily in obedience to God’s Word and being led by the Holy Ghost. It involves living a holy and separated life, reflecting the character of Jesus through love, humility, and service to others. As believers, we are called to grow in faith, continually seek God’s guidance, and share the Gospel with boldness. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we overcome sin and live victorious lives that bring glory to God.
HEAVEN & HELL
We believe Heaven is a real, eternal place prepared by God for all who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. It is described in Scripture as a place of joy, peace, and fellowship with God. Hell is also a real and eternal place of separation from God, reserved for those who reject His salvation . The Bible calls us to share the Gospel so that all may receive eternal life and avoid eternal judgment (John 3:16-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 14:2-3; Revelation 21:4; Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:15)
THE FUTURE
We believe in the personal, visible, and imminent return of Jesus Christ to gather His Church and establish His eternal kingdom. This future hope includes the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the reward of eternal life for the righteous. We eagerly anticipate this glorious event and live in readiness, faithfully serving God until He comes again. (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; John 5:28-29; Revelation 22:12)
HEALING
We believe that divine healing is provided for in the atonement of Jesus Christ and is available to all believers today. Through faith in His name, prayer, and the laying on of hands, God heals physical, emotional, and spiritual sickness. Healing is part of the Gospel message and demonstrates God’s power and love. We trust God’s promises and seek His healing in every area of our lives. (Isaiah 53:5; James 5:14-15)
