Vision Statement: Impact our culture with the Kingdom of God by making disciples of Jesus Christ through a strong relationship connection with the local Body and deep dependency on the Holy Spirit, teaching and training them in a Christ-centered worldview, releasing them into their God ordained calling, to bring salvation and transformation to the lost in the world.
The Scriptures. The Bible is verbally inspired (breathed out) by the Holy Spirit, is without error in the original manuscripts, and is the authoritative written Word of God.
The Trinity. There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each of whom possesses equally all the qualities of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
The Son of God. Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Therefore, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
The Mediator. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, consequently satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone. Jesus Christ rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died. He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father from where He makes intercession for His people.
Jesus Christ is King. Upon His ascension, He received an everlasting dominion, and glory, and a kingdom that will not be destroyed. From there, as the only mediator between God and man, He currently and continually reigns as king to restore all things on earth that were lost through the fall of man.
The Fall of Man. Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God. As a result, all mankind became totally depraved and in need of the new birth by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit.
Salvation. The salvation of man is completely a work of God’s sovereign free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. Man is totally responsible for accepting or rejecting the free offer of the gospel. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justifies them in His sight.
Perseverance of the Saints. It is the privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human merit, but is provided to the believer by the witness of the Holy Spirit through the testimony of the written Word of God.
The Work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, gives new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the second coming of Christ.
Sanctification. Through the present ministry and indwelling of the Holy Spirit every Christian is enabled to live a godly life. By faith the believer takes possession of the fullness, power and control of the Holy Spirit in their life. All the spiritual gifts are still given to believers by the Holy Spirit today.
The Church. The Church is the living spiritual body of Jesus Christ who has been joined to Him through saving faith. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, which encompasses all true believers at all times and in all places. The church expresses itself twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We believe in the expression of the local church where believers gather regularly for worship, equipping, encouragement and fellowship.
Ordinances of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord gave the church two ordinances to observe: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe in baptism by immersion and communion that is open to all believers.
The Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ came to establish the kingdom of God here on earth. As King, Jesus rules within the hearts and spirits of believers. As God’s vice-regents in this world, believers are the kingdom of God on earth. As kingdom citizens, believers are to carry out kingdom principles in every area of life.
The Great Commission. The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God throughout the world and to make disciples of all the nations. The fulfillment of the message of the Kingdom of God requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to the Lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ “who loved us and gave Himself for us.”
The Resurrection. At physical death the bodies of men return to dust, but their spirits return immediately to God –the righteous to eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord; the wicked, to eternal, conscious separation from the Lord be reserved under darkness to judgment. At the last day, the bodies of all the dead, both just and unjust, will be raised.
The Judgment. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth – personally, visibly and bodily – to perfect/complete history and the eternal plan of God. Every person shall receive according to their deeds: the wicked shall go into everlasting punishment; the righteous, into everlasting life.
