Our Beliefs
We believe that the Bible is the inspired living word of God; infallible and unchangeable from Genesis to Revelation (2 Timothy 3:16)
The Trinity
We believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit; these three are one. (1 John 5:7)
The Deity of Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, born of a virgin; that he was crucified, died, and on the third day rose from the dead; who ascended into heaven where he is now seated at the right hand of the Father (Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:30-35, Acts 2:32-36)
Salvation
We believe that salvation can only be obtained through repentance and confession of our sins; that it is a gift given by divine grace and not by works, and that it can only be received by faith in Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and men (Acts 4: 11-12, Ephesians 2: 8, 1 Timothy 2: 5)
The resurrection of the dead and eternal life
We believe in the second coming of Christ for his people; that the dead will rise first, saved and unsaved; that Christians who are alive will be caught up by Jesus; that everyone will experience the Judgment; that believers will rise to eternal life with Jesus and stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, while unbelievers will rise to eternal damnation and be judged at the Great White Throne of God. (Daniel 12:1-2, Romans 14:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, Revelation 20:11-15)
Sanctification
We believe that sanctification occurs instantaneously in the spirit, but that it must be progressively developed in the body and soul of each child of God. (Hebrews 12:14, Romans 6: 19-22)
Baptism into the body of christ
We believe in baptism into the body of Christ by which a person accepts Jesus, experiences the new birth, and becomes a new member of the body of Christ and heir to eternal life. (1 Corinthians 12:27)
Baptism in water
We believe in water baptism as a symbol of identification with death to sin and with the resurrection of Jesus to eternal life. (Romans 6:4)
Baptism of the holy spirit
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, through which we have the power to become witnesses of Jesus to the world. (Acts 1:8; 2:4)
Laying on of hands
We believe that one way to convey God's blessings, healing, and power to others is through the laying on of hands. (Acts 8:15-17, 1 Timothy 4:14, 2 Timothy 1:6)
The Fivefold Ministry
We believe that the fivefold ministry is a God-given gift to the body of Christ. (Ephesians 4: 11-12)
The governing ministries
We believe that the apostle and the prophet are governmental ministries that establish the biblical foundation and doctrine in the church. (Ephesians 2:20; 3:5)
The apostolic government
We believe in establishing the apostolic government within the local church with the apostle as the head, the prophet as part of the government, followed by the ministers and elders (Ephesians 4:11, Acts 14:23).
God's kingdom
We believe in the Kingdom of God as a government where Jesus is King, and both are absolute and supreme truths (John 3:3, Acts 8:12, Romans 5:17, Hebrews 12:28).
The healing and liberating power of the Kingdom
We believe in the power of the Kingdom to heal the sick, cast out demons, and perform miracles, signs, and wonders. (Mark 1:32-34, John 14:12, Matthew 12:28)
Faith
We believe that without faith it is impossible to live a life that pleases God and that we inherit blessings by faith (Hebrews 6:12; 11:6).
Preaching the gospel
We believe in spreading the gospel of the Kingdom locally, nationally and globally by any means possible. (Matthew 24:14)
